Now that we’re on Daylight Savings Time, twilight open houses are a great way to take advantage of the extra sunshine in the evenings. People are out later and kids are more likely to be playing outside. Weekday and/or twilight open houses are a great way to have your signs seen by more people.

If you hold a twilight open house, be sure you use 6-8 directional signs plus serve some sort of refreshments. This is one of the best ways to have your name visible in an area where you specialize. You’re also quite likely to meet a lot of those neighbors who are walking their dogs or out with their kids after dinner.
