Roller Coaster Open Houses

A Dutch Realtor Created the 'Roller Coaster Show Home' to Sell Property

— December 8, 2014 — Art & Design
Imagine showing up to view a house nestled in a small town in the Netherlands to find you've stumbled upon the latest realtor selling gimmick — the 'Roller Coaster Show Home.' Starting your journey at the foot of the driveway, one hops into single-seater car and is pushed down into the depths of the show home's garage. Through the garage, the car makes its way up the stairs, through the kitchen, up to the bedrooms and outside the master bedroom window into the backyard.

The 'Roller Coaster Show Home' is sponsored by Dutch bank ABN AMRO; promoting homes throughout the month of December. Building a roller coaster inside a home is a strike of genius. We're predicting a side from floor to floor is their next gimmick.
Trend Themes
1. Real Estate Roller Coasters - Integrating amusement park rides into home showings to create an interactive and memorable experience for potential homebuyers.
2. Interactive Home Tours - Using technology and innovative methods to create immersive and interactive home tours that stand out in a crowded market.
3. Marketing Stunts - Creating attention-grabbing marketing stunts like roller coaster show homes to promote products and services in unique and memorable ways.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Incorporating fun and innovative methods to showcase properties in a competitive market and attract potential buyers in the digital age.
2. Marketing and Advertising - Developing creative and unconventional marketing strategies and events to reach potential customers and stand out from competitors.
3. Amusement Parks and Attractions - Expanding beyond traditional entertainment offerings to create unique and immersive experiences for visitors that can be leveraged by other industries, like real estate and marketing.
