Promote Your Event
Promoting your event through a variety of channels will help maximize your exposure. Check out some examples of HBAs getting the word out through social media, traditional advertising and online tools.
Social Media
Frequent posts with lots of pictures is key for engaging the public on social media.
- Add pictures of the parade homes throughout the construction process to build momentum.
- Include teasers about any special guests or events happening.
- Create a hashtag specific to your event — for example, #peoriaparade — and encourage all of your builders and suppliers to use it, too.
Take a look at a few parade Facebook pages for inspiration:
- HBA of Richmond Homearama
- Parade of Homes Twin Cities
- Southern Utah HBA – St. George Area Parade of Homes
