1. Use your social media sites to connect with Lenders, Realtors, non- profit housing counseling agencies and other advocates. Be sure to tag each one and use hashtags on all posts.  Ask them to help spread the word about June’s National Homeownership Month.
2. Ask your Facebook fans to post on your wall why they think homeownership is great, why they bought a house or to post pictures of their home you helped them with your services.
3. Post on your business Facebook page pictures of clients you serve in June in front of their prospective new home (remember to tag the client and ask them to like you and the post)
4. Blog (write LinkedIn articles) about the benefits of homeownership and/or rehabbing (making new again) an existing home, or invite a few recent home owners you have assisted to be “guest bloggers” and write about why they love their homes. Some good sites where you can launch your own blog include WordPress and Blogger.
   • To create an article in LinkedIn is even easier and can be more visible to prospects and referral partners.
5. Create Facebook/Instagram or Twitter posts or create a photo album on your company’s website with descriptions before and after rehab projects or green building/renovation practices.
6. Create a local Instagram photo competition! Encourage people to take photos of what homeownership means to them and tag with a branded hashtag you create.
7. Work with a Real Estate Agent (and hopefully a mortgage lender) to organize a “tweet-up” at a few open houses. This is a special event that is spread through the social media vine, so always prepare for more people than you might expect. These should be more than just a regular open house, but also a social event where people can mingle and talk about why they want to buy a house. Post the time and place on your Twitter and Facebook accounts and blog, and encourage people to spread the word through social media. Make sure the event is worthy — have food, nametags, a raffle or speaker and of course, a WiFi connection.
