Why NOW is the Time to Re-Think Real Estate Handouts
Once upon a time in real estate land, agents used handouts as a large portion of their business marketing.
Today’s real estate consumer demands and expects “value” from those with whom they do business, even down to the stuff they get free.
While handouts may seem unnecessary to you, they’re actually an effective marketing tool to increase engagement and perfectly complement your marketing strategies.
Real estate handouts cut out the middle-man or woman
It’s probably not much of a stretch to claim that the average real estate agent will never make it to page one of Google’s search results for the most common real estate search terms, organically.
Instead of going after that holy grail, the marketing experts at clientexpand.com suggest advertising within the sites that do show up on page one. An example would be Houzz.com.
While that may make a nifty addition to your digital strategy, we think it’s best to cut out that middle step and go direct to the consumer.
Some possible topics for real estate handouts
- The benefits of owning versus renting.
- 4 low down payment mortgage options.
- Neighborhood real estate statistics (sold, pending, listed). Still one of the most-read pieces of information that homeowners receive. Especially valuable to out-of-town owners.
- Client testimonials.
- Community entertainment calendar.
- Target tenants with a list of ways to improve credit scores.
- Magnetic Football schedule cards and calendars
- Tips for the FSBOs in the area.
How to use real estate handouts
Handouts can be one page (a typical flyer) or multiple pages, depending on the topic and your goal. Many agents find that direct response reports make ideal flyers.
Use them in:
- Pre-listing packets
- Listing presentations
- Buyer packets
- On your website
- On doorknobs
- As direct mail pieces
- On windshields in parking lots
- Use digital copies in your emails, on your blog, in your newsletters and as social media posts
Offered consistently, real estate marketing handouts not only supply valuable information to homeowners or tenants but cement your brand as the area specialist.
