Seth recently assisted client JK Moving with marketing materials for the Maryland Association of Realtors "Rally for Success" conference. We were delighted to see a recap of the event on their blog, This End UP. Keep reading for Kent Fegani's first-hand account!

Last week, JK was an exhibitor at the Maryland Association of Realtors "Rally for Success" conference, and I was fortunate enough to represent JK. It was my first time attending the annual convention, and I was really surprised by the experience.

First, the facility was huge! Everyday, there were hundreds of attendees walking around and visiting booths. It was fantastic to meet a variety of people in person and have the opportunity to explain the extensive services JK Moving provides.



While we did not win an award for our booth, I think everyone enjoyed their visit. We welcomed booth visitors with a couple of fun games to play (all of us from JK certainly enjoyed the games). We wanted people to remember our booth for more than just the games, so we gave away several practical gifts for people to use. Remember that almost all of the event attendees were realtors, so we had gifts and prizes with them in mind: tape measurers, stress relievers, pens, lip balm and nail files as options for their takeaway from our booth. Finally, because that just was not enough for the magnitude of this event, there was a raffle! We raffled off a $50 gas card and $100 off of someone's next move.

Overall, it was an outstanding experience that I recommend for anyone. It's a great way to spend a few days, or just an afternoon, but I know I will certainly be attending next year. Stop by and visit; you won't regret it. We can talk shop if you would like, but if not, we'll have gifts and games for our realtor friends to enjoy.

P.S. Belinda E, from Long and Foster, won the $50 gas card. The Jay Fischetti Group (Keller Williams), Cynthia G (Long and Foster), and Julie D (Prudential Carruthers) all won $100 off their clients' next move. Congrats to the winners!

Thanks for sharing, JK! We are thrilled the event was a success!
