HIGH-FLYING corporate public relations (PR) is something that’s often depicted in Hollywood movies but not often seen in regional Australian cities like Dubbo.
Now local company SJ Shooter Real Estate has turned that on its head, setting an incredibly high bar in terms of customer engagement.
Director Laura Shooter told Dubbo Photo News the company hosted an event at the Westview Drive-in and said an invitation was extended to all buyers and sellers since the agency started in 2015, along with all current tenants and landlords.
More than 800 people registered for the free event, with entry including a meal, popcorn and Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon.
“Before we started SJ Shooter Real Estate we often hosted lots of people in our home, but our young family and business has meant we needed to put this on hold for a few years,” Mrs Shooter said.
“Tonight was like being able to have 800 people over for dinner, and it was a very joyful experience!”
The company partnered with local charity Tradies In Sight to provide spit roasted pork and Hangicooked lamb rolls. The night was such a huge success, the agency intends to make it an annual event for their clients according to director Samuel Shooter.
“Dubbo is lucky enough to have one of the few remaining driveins, and it was the perfect setting for us to bring together those people who have been part of our business journey, to say thank you,” Mr Shooter said.
Debra Bourke was one of the 800 guests and said it was an incredible evening.
“Thank you [Laura] and Samuel
for a great night at the Drivein seeing the Disney movie, Raya and the Last Dragon,” she said.
“As you said (there was) great meaning of it “coming together”. The last time I went to the drivein we had the speakers on a hook hanging on the window from the connected steel pole in between each car. Some would pile friends in the boot then all pile out to watch the movie. Just like Grease. Again, thank you so very much.”
