With Marketing, we have been working on expanding our Parade of Homes reach to other areas. In the past we have advertised with Our State Magazine on a State level. Locally we have utilized the Citizen Times, BPR, AVL Today, iHeart Radio, and other digital marketing. We are always looking for ways to get more people at the homes, please let us know if you have additional suggestions.

On top of the above, we also push a heavy social media campaign where every entry gets their own high light directing followers back to their page. This is very dependent on the finish level of the home, the imagery the builders supply, and whether your home is in-person or virtual only.


There will be an in person event for all Participating Builders and Associates to have a live auction for the cover and back cover! Featured Builder will be chosen at this event as well. The event is planned for JULY 20, 2023 [discrepancy in the presentation] . Any of our Builder Member (whether participating in the Parade or not) can buy a $100 Raffle ticket to be the Featured Builder. Winners get a variety of perks including tickets to the Awards Gala, and directory logo upgrades.
