Intro:
National Pancake Day might not be a traditional mortgage marketing moment, but that’s exactly why it works. A lighthearted, unexpected holiday gives you the perfect excuse to reach out to past clients, warm leads, and referral partners without feeling “salesy.” With a little creativity (and maybe a drizzle of syrup), you can stack up goodwill, flip more conversations your way, and keep your name top of mind.
1. Pancake Pop-By Bags
Drop off a small bag with pancake mix, mini syrup bottle, and your business card to top referral partners or VIP clients.
Tagline: “Stacking up savings and flipping you the keys to your dream home!”
2. Local Diner Partnership
Team up with a local breakfast spot to sponsor a “first coffee free” coupon on Pancake Day—your name and contact info right on the coupon.
Tagline: “Serving up hot coffee and even hotter mortgage rates.”
3. Office Pancake Morning
Host a “Pancakes & Pre-Approvals” open house at your branch. Invite realtors, past clients, and community members to drop by for free pancakes and quick mortgage checkups.
Tagline: “We make mortgages as smooth as your maple syrup.”
1. Syrup Poll
Instagram or Facebook story poll: “Favorite pancake topping—Maple syrup or berries?” Then follow up with: “When it comes to home loans, we’ve got you covered no matter your topping preference!”
2. Pancake Flip Challenge
Post a Reel/TikTok trying to flip a pancake in one motion. Challenge realtors or clients to post theirs and tag you.

Closing:
