Step 1: Plan a Series of Posts Covering Key Home Prep Topics

Your Holiday Home Prep Series should cover different aspects of preparing a home for sale, from curb appeal to interior decor. Aim for 3-5 posts across your social media platforms or as a mini email series. Possible topics include:

• Seasonal curb appeal: Tips on maintaining a welcoming exterior, even in winter.

• Holiday decor for showings: How to create a festive but neutral decor that appeals to buyers.

• Winter staging tips: Ideas for cozy staging that highlights a home’s warmth and comfort.

• Lighting and ambiance: Creating a warm, inviting atmosphere with seasonal lighting.

Each post should provide a valuable takeaway, positioning you as a resourceful advisor.

Step 2: Make Your Content Visually Engaging

Incorporate high-quality photos and videos to bring your tips to life. Visuals can have a huge impact, especially when it comes to decor and staging. Consider:

• Before-and-after images: Show how small changes in decor or staging can make a big impact.

• Quick video tours: Walk through a home or show areas where you’ve applied these tips.

• Seasonal imagery: Incorporate festive touches in your images to make the content feel timely and relevant.

Step 3: Add Practical and Actionable Tips

For each post or email in the series, offer tips that homeowners can implement right away. Be specific and actionable, so your audience can easily follow your advice. Examples include:

• “Switch to warm-toned LED bulbs to create a cozy glow in each room.”

• “Keep decorations neutral and avoid overly personal items to help buyers envision themselves in the home.”

• “Clear walkways of any holiday decorations to maintain a safe, accessible entrance.”

These details show you understand what buyers are looking for and that you can help sellers get their homes market-ready.

Step 4: Include a Call to Action for Personalized Advice

Encourage your audience to reach out if they want personalized home prep advice or a consultation. A clear call to action will help convert interested viewers into potential clients.

Examples of effective CTAs:

• “Need help getting your home ready for sale? I’d love to offer a personalized staging consultation—just reach out!”

• “Thinking about selling this winter? Let’s talk about how you can get the best results with a few seasonal touches.”

This is a great way to capture leads from homeowners who are on the fence about selling.

Step 5: Engage and Encourage Interaction

Ask questions and encourage engagement to keep the conversation going. End each post or email with a question to invite comments or replies, such as:

• “What’s your favorite way to decorate for the holidays?”

• “Do you prefer a minimalist or festive look when staging your home?”

The more interaction you get, the more your audience will remember you when they’re ready to list.
