Fortune Cookie Open House

JANUARY OPEN HOUSE IDEA | A LITTLE GOOD FORTUNE

A sweet treat with a message they'll remember.

Everyone loves a little good fortune! Instead of setting out the usual plate of cookies at your next open house, surprise visitors with individually wrapped fortune cookies.

And here's where you can have some fun: Order fortune cookies with custom messages inside that tie back to finding the perfect home.

It's an unexpected way to make your open house more memorable and give visitors something to talk about.

Why We Love This Idea

People don't always take business cards at open houses, but they're much more likely to grab a treat!

A fortune cookie with a clever message gives visitors something fun to discover while creating an opportunity for a natural conversation.

What You'll Need

Individually wrapped fortune cookies
Optional custom fortune cookies with personalized messages
An attractive serving bowl, tray, or basket
Napkins or small treat bags
Optional Awkward Agent fortune cookie tags

Where to Shop

We've already put together a shopping list with fortune cookies and supplies for this month's pop-by. You can use many of the same items for your open house!

SHOP OUR FORTUNE COOKIE SUPPLY LIST

For an extra-personal touch, look for fortune cookie suppliers that offer custom messages inside the cookies.

Fortune Cookie Message Ideas

Here are a few fun messages to consider:

"Your dream home is closer than you think."
"A great home is in your future."
"Your next chapter begins with the right address."
"Good fortune favors those who find the right agent."
"Your perfect home might be just around the corner."

For custom cookies, consider including your name and contact information on the message insert, if the supplier's format allows.

How to Set It Up

Order your fortune cookies ahead of your open house.
Arrange them in an attractive bowl, basket, or tray.
Place them somewhere visitors will naturally stop, such as the kitchen island.
Invite guests to take a cookie and discover their fortune.
Use the messages as a lighthearted conversation starter.

Make It Your Own

Keep It Simple: Use traditional fortune cookies and let visitors enjoy the surprise.

Go Custom: Order fortune cookies with personalized real estate messages inside.

Add Your Branding: Package individual cookies with your personalized Awkward Agent tags.

Use Your Extras: Leftover individually wrapped cookies can be used at future open houses, subject to their freshness and expiration dates.

Awkward Agent Tip

Your goal isn't to turn a fortune cookie into a sales pitch. It's to make your open house a little more memorable.

A thoughtful detail and a genuine conversation can go much further than another business card sitting on the counter.

Stand out. Stay in touch. Be remembered.
