National Cookie Day

December 4

🍪 “Sweet Deals & Home-Baked Dreams: A Mortgage LO’s Guide to National Cookie Day” 🍪
(Celebrated December 4th)

🏡 Why This Holiday is a Smart (and Sweet!) Marketing Opportunity

National Cookie Day is the perfect excuse to mix business with butter and sugar. It’s a lighthearted, low-cost way for Mortgage Loan Officers to sprinkle some warmth into their marketing. Cookies are universally loved—and that makes them a powerful icebreaker with clients, referral partners, and community connections. A little sugar can go a long way in building brand recall and good feelings that stick.

🍪 In-Person Marketing Ideas

1. Pop-By “Sweet Stop” Bags
Drop off small cookie gift bags to your top referral partners, real estate agents, or recent clients. Attach a fun tag like:

“Just a little something to sweeten your day—because great partnerships are the icing on the cookie!”

💡 Bonus Tip: Include your business card and a QR code linking to a home loan calculator or your digital business card.

2. Partner with a Local Bakery for a “Home Sweet Home” Day
Team up with a local bakery to sponsor cookie samples for customers. Display a small sign:

“Enjoy a cookie on us! When you’re ready for a sweet deal on your next home loan, let’s chat.”

💡 Bonus Tip: Post about the partnership on social media and tag the bakery to cross-promote each other’s audiences.

3. Open House Cookie Bar
If you’re working with real estate partners, set up a “Cookie Bar” at an open house—different flavors for different loan types! Example:

  • Chocolate Chip = Conventional Classic

  • Snickerdoodle = FHA Favorite

  • Oatmeal Raisin = VA Veteran’s Treat

Sign Idea:

“No matter your taste, we’ve got the perfect recipe for your home loan.”

📱 Social Media Marketing Ideas

1. Cookie Poll: “Which Cookie Are You?”
Create a poll or story quiz (e.g., “Chocolate Chip or Sugar Cookie?”). Caption it with:

“Your cookie style might just match your mortgage style! 🍪 Let’s find the sweet spot for your next home loan.”

2. Cookie Decorating Reel or TikTok
Film yourself or your team decorating cookies with mortgage-themed designs (houses, dollar signs, keys). Add a voiceover like:

“Just like a good cookie recipe, a great mortgage plan has all the right ingredients.”

3. “Guess the Cookies in the Jar” Giveaway
Post a photo of a jar filled with cookies and have followers guess how many are inside. Winner gets a cookie gift card or coffee shop voucher.
Caption idea:

“Guess how many cookies = win a sweet treat! Because great guesses (and great rates) deserve rewards.”

🏠 Mortgage-Themed Taglines & Phrases

  1. “Let’s find the sweetest deal for your next home loan.”

  2. “Your homeownership dreams—fresh out of the oven.”

  3. “Because every great home story starts with a dash of dough.”
