To Reach More People In Your Sphere and Farm
by Julie Escobar
Agents often ask us for ideas on what to send and when. We’re happy to help so they can get back to what they do best: Prospecting, Presenting and Closing. We know there are LOTS of option to choose from, and no real one-size-fits-all. That’s why we put new marketing tools on the site each and every month. It’s also why we have over 1,000 postcards in the standard-size alone, and thousands more in Jumbo and Panoramic.
What we’ve found is that postcard marketing makes it easy for agents to “pull the trigger”, get their marketing ordered and move on to the next task. Expediency and ease are two factors that agents tell us are important to them. The fact that the content is done, customization is easy and data is readily available to create marketing lists all help make the process quick and easy.
One series that’s really popular right now is the Listing Inventory Series, because it highlights the need for more listings! Agents love having a series that has a wide selection because they can send month after month to your sphere and farm with consistent branding and similar messaging.
Here are some suggestions for the next three months using this series with a little bit of a twist! Pairing a postcard with a Free Report Offer is a great way to offer something of value, brand yourself as a resource, and get people to pick up the phone or text you for the offer.
March: Send the Buyers are Waiting postcard from the Listing Inventory Series. When choosing a back, choose the “Standard Back with Message” option so you have a little more room.
Change up the front if you like, and on the back, change the copy to say something like:
There’s never been a more important time to have resources you can count on when it comes to buying and selling a home. We currently have more buyers than listings, which makes them motivated to pay top dollar while interest rates are low and demand is high. If you are interested in selling, or know someone who is, please call or text me today at (your cell number) to get a copy of my Free Report: 5 Tips for a Smooth Quick Home Sale.
April: Send the Take Advantage of the Market postcard. Again, choose “Standard Back with Message” option so you have a little more room.
Change up the front if you like, and on the back, change the copy to say something like:
Timing is everything in the real estate market, and the time to get more for your home is right now. We currently have more buyers than listings, which makes them motivated to pay top dollar while interest rates are low and demand is high. If you are interested in selling, or know someone who is, please call or text me today at (your cell number) to get a copy of my Free Report: 9 Strategies for Getting Up to 17% More for Your Home.
May: Send The Big Question postcard, and change up the back message to:
Selling your home is a big decision. One of the biggest for most people. You’ll want to make sure you have every question answered before diving into this competitive market. I can help. If you are interested in selling, or know someone who is, please call or text me today at (your cell number) to get a copy of my Free Report: 5 On the Money Reasons to Use a REALTOR.
