Parade of Homes App Brings Numbers for the First Time in 60 Years

Parade-enews-BannerThe very first event the HBA of Greater Springfield hosted was a Parade of Homes (it was a one home Parade!). We are now celebrating our 60th anniversary and in sixty years there has yet to be an accurate count of how many people visit the homes. This year, for the first time, the HBA of Greater Springfield will have a fairly accurate account of how many people attended, but also how many people attended each home multiple times, which home was visited the most, which home was visited first, the busiest time for the homes, and much more.

The credit for the statistical data gathered for the 2014 HBA Parade is all thanks to our new Parade Craze App and many volunteers that helped redeem FREE tickets and admit visitors into the homes. The HBA of Greater Springfield could not have done it without Parade Craze, and more importantly, without all of the fantastic volunteers. THANK YOU!

Just to give you a little taste of the statistics, the first weekend of the HBA Parade of Homes, there were a total of 11,497 home visits. This means a door to an HBA Parade Homes was opened for a visitor 11,497 times or 766.47 times every hour or 12.77 times every minute. In addition, the statistic have proven valuable in revealing that the busiest time is the two o’clock hour all three days of the first weekend.

We will have more statistics and each HBA Parade Home Builder will have access to their own in-depth data for their individual home(s). Look for this information in a future HBA Housing e-News.

If touring beautiful homes is not enough to entice you to get your free ticket, how about the chance to win a $3,000 ComboJoe BBQ Grill provided by Missouri Propane Education and Research Council?
