Show buyers and renters your best deals of the season.

‘Tis the season for festive incentives when selling or renting a home. Holiday season expenditures can quickly add up, leaving people hesitant to move during colder months. If you’re a landlord or selling a home, offering a holiday themed discount and customized messaging can make your listing stand out. Follow these tips to create some festive Custom Ribbons on your listings and attract the attention of those needing to move this time of year.

Keep Custom Ribbons short and sweet

You may want to top personal gifts with extra ribbons, but brevity is better when creating a ribbon to top your listings. You will have a tight character limit of 20, so make sure each word counts. Be direct and to the point when highlighting seasonal holiday discounts. 

Focus on the season

Create a timely connection with those looking for Utah homes for sale or homes for rent in Utah. Holiday themed Custom Ribbons appeal to the festive atmosphere and to people looking for a cozy place to call home this season. Some examples:

  • Xmas Move-in Special 
  • Merry Moving Deals
  • Festive Discounts
  • Holiday Specials
  • Thanksgiving Special
  • Christmas Special
  • New Year’s Discount
  • Holiday-Ready Deals

Urgency with seasonal holiday discounts

Add a sense of urgency so potential buyers or renters know the deals won’t last past the holidays. This encourages people to act before it’s too late, which helps you get paid faster. Try variations of these:

  • Limited Holiday Deal
  • Jolly Deals: Act Now
  • Limited Move-In Gift
  • Holiday Offer Today

Promote discounts or incentives

Since you can’t draw attention to your homes with shiny tinsel, shiny discounts are the next best thing. Custom Ribbons are great for showcasing incentives with a time limit such as discounted rent for the first month, fees waived for leases beginning in December, 20% discounts on rent for November, etc.

Welcoming winter messages

Winter is supposed to be cozy. Make your Custom Ribbons match that vibe. Try phrases that feel warm and inviting such as:

  • Cozy Location
  • Winter Ready Home
  • Winter Wonderland
  • Winter Home Deals

Test and refine your Custom Ribbons

Different messages may resonate with potential buyers or renters more. If something doesn’t work one week, try something else the following week. Better yet, adjust the wording a couple of times per week to see if that increases inquiries. With your limited space, pay attention to what works for your listing specifically. Discounts? Urgency? Both? Mix it up.

Reminder: Your character count limit is 20, but ribbons cost just $10 for the life of the listing and ribbon.
