How can I make my Open House a success during the busy holiday season?

FlyerI'm new as well so am going to invite ALL my neighbors to an open house. I've attached my flyer if you want to see it. I'm going to have different stations for trying a variety of products and finger foods everywhere. I'll put the flyers out just a few days before since doing it before Thanksgiving would be useless. Can't wait to see more suggestions!...BEE

My directors invite 100 or more guests and usually get around 22-25 guests from that. It's a busy time of year. I'm going to invite neighbors, class parents (those I don't know - it's a nice opportunity to meet them and for them to at least find out that I sell PC)... relatives, etc. I'm going to tell them to bring an outside order or a friend and get a free gift from me (orange peeler), and do a "Winner takes All" raffle - sell tickets $2 each or 3/$5, winner gets PC gift certificates for the total amount raised (to be used by the shows end).

Good luck with yours!
