Mastering Important Cooking Techniques

Realtors: Prepare For Open Houses With A Bakery's Help

17 January 2022 by Richard Schmidt

If you are a realtor and are interested and having more open houses for buyers in the upcoming season, it's important that you consider providing refreshments for your guests. One type of food that is very good for on-the-go eating and that does not need any utensils or dishware is baked goods, particularly items that can be simply wrapped up in a napkin and carried along while touring the house. 

Here are a few important things to consider when you place an order with a bakery for refreshments for your open houses. 

 A Wide Variety of Baked Goods

Different people, of course, have different tastes in the food that they enjoy, particularly when it comes to baked goods. Some may like savory baked goods and others may only enjoy sweet baked goods. Because of this, it's a good idea to provide a wide variety of baked goods for your open houses. A professional bakery can give you a menu of items that will be well-rounded and applicable to your specific needs.

Items for the Allergy Cautious 

Since some people have food allergies, it's a good idea to provide refreshments for those who are cautious regarding their food intake. It's also a good idea to have a list of the ingredients for each item so you will be able to provide it to any of the guests who request the ingredients list for any particular baked good.

Offer Single-Serve Drinks

Provide drinks in single-serve containers for on-the-go consumption. Pair the drinks with the baked goods that will be on the menu for the open house. Also, set up a recycling bin in the open house for your guests to dispose of their plastic containers. If you are having the open houses during the morning hours, consider providing coffee and tea as well for those who prefer caffeinated drinks in the mornings. Of course, don't forget to offer a selection of creamers and sweeteners, as well as stirrers and lids. 

Use Customized Labels 

Use this opportunity to package the baked goods and label the drinks with customized labels of your realty business as a way to promote your service. Speak with the bakery for more information regarding what types of baked goods would work well with customized labels that feature your realtor information as well as the bakery's information. By doing so, coupled with an ongoing need for baked goods, the bakery you choose may offer you discounts and recognition in their store.
