National Dessert Day (October 14th) is the perfect excuse to sprinkle a little extra fun into your mortgage marketing. People love desserts, and tying this unexpected holiday into your business creates memorable, lighthearted touchpoints. It’s a chance to connect with clients, referral partners, and your community in a way that feels personal—not salesy—while still keeping you top of mind.
Pop-By Treat Bags
Drop off small dessert bags (cookies, brownies, or mini pies) at Realtors’ offices, past clients’ homes, or local businesses.
Attach a tag that says: “Home financing that’s as sweet as dessert—call me when you’re ready for seconds!”
Partner with a Local Bakery
Team up with a neighborhood bakery to hand out “Sweet Home Savings” coupons to customers. You cover a portion of the treats for a day in exchange for co-branding.
Tagline: “Your dream home should be the cherry on top—ask me how to make it happen!”
Open House Dessert Bar
Coordinate with a Realtor partner to host a dessert-themed open house. Offer cupcakes, donuts, or ice cream to visitors.
Handout cards that read: “Finding the right mortgage is like finding your favorite dessert—there’s a perfect fit for everyone!”
Dessert Day Polls
Run a poll: “Cake or Pie? Donuts or Cookies? Brownies or Ice Cream?”
Use it as a playful way to get engagement, then follow up with: “Just like desserts, mortgages aren’t one-size-fits-all. Let’s find the option that fits your taste!”
Reel/TikTok Idea: “Rate That Dessert”
Post a quick video rating your favorite desserts from “Starter Home Sweet” to “Dream Home Deluxe.”
Caption: “Which dessert is your forever home? 🍦🍪🏡”
Dessert Giveaway
Host a simple giveaway: “Comment your favorite dessert below for a chance to win a $25 gift card to [local bakery/ice cream shop]!”
Announce the winner on Dessert Day with a quick thank-you video.
“Let’s make your home loan process a piece of cake.”
“Your dream home should be the cherry on top.”
“Mortgage solutions that are sugar-sweet (and stress-free).”
National Dessert Day gives Loan Officers a fun, low-cost way to create memorable client and partner touchpoints. A simple cookie drop-off, a quick social media post, or a sweet giveaway can leave a lasting impression. Use this lighthearted holiday to show your personality, strengthen relationships, and remind people that working with you is always a treat.
