Creative and Successful Open Houses

I like the idea of open houses as a way of meeting people who may be buying a house either now or in the future. I know the chances of selling the house that is being held open is unlikely, although, I have heard of a few lucky occasions.

My dilemma is how to make the open house attract people. I have tried different days (usually Saturday and Sunday) and different times. I can't seem to get any pattern - bad weather, good weather, morning, afternoon, etc.

I did coordinate a high end vacant open house with varying artists (soap maker, jeweler, textile artist, Fine arts painter, photographer, etc. held in mid November - a good time for holiday shopping (GoGreen for the holidays). About 125 people came through so the house got some good exposure but the house still sits for sale.

There must be a strategy with attracting the right buyer to the right house for the right mileau. This is t I want to figure out.
