When it comes to building long-term relationships in real estate, client appreciation is everything. One of the most effective (and affordable) ways realtors can stay top-of-mind with past and future clients is through pop-bys. These small, thoughtful gestures not only keep you connected but also add a personal touch that sets you apart from other agents. With National Taco Day right around the corner (the first Tuesday in October), now is the perfect time to plan a fun, themed pop-by kit to drop off for your clients.

Of course, you don't need to wait for National Taco Day to roll around in order to celebrate Taco Tuesday, so these tips can apply year-round as well!

Why Realtor Pop-Bys Matter

Pop-bys are quick, in-person visits where you surprise clients with a small gift or token of appreciation. They’re designed to strengthen your client relationships without being pushy or sales-driven. Here’s why they’re so powerful:

• Keeps you top-of-mind: A thoughtful gift leaves a lasting impression and ensures your name comes up when someone needs a realtor referral.
• Shows genuine care: Pop-bys demonstrate that you value the relationship beyond the transaction.
• Encourages referrals: Happy clients are far more likely to recommend you to friends, family, and neighbors.
• Builds trust & loyalty: A personal touch goes a long way in creating repeat business.

National Taco Day Pop-By Ideas

What better way to connect with clients than by celebrating National Taco Day? Tacos are universally loved, and putting together a small, fun taco kit is an easy way to bring joy (and flavor) to your clients’ week.

Here are some simple, budget-friendly items you can include in your Taco Day pop-by kits:

• Taco shells or tortillas
• Taco seasoning packets
• Mini salsa cups
• Small bags of tortilla chips

How to Make It Memorable

• Brand your packaging: Use clear bags, small boxes, or kraft paper bags with a custom label or tag featuring your name, logo, and contact info.
• Add a punny tagline: Try something like “Let’s Taco ‘Bout Your Real Estate Needs” or “Spicing Up Your National Taco Day!”
• Offer extra value: Include a coupon for a local Mexican restaurant or grocery store.
