Need More Brand Exposure? Try Real Estate Direct Response Reports

Sep 19, 2022

From billboards to Google ads, there are so many ways to expose a real estate brand to more eyeballs. Some of these, most of them digital, are hit-and-miss. Viewing your Google ads, for instance, relies on users clicking on your ad.

A compelling direct response report, however, offered on social media, in an email, or on your website has a much better chance of gaining those all-important eyeballs in a way that’s not confrontational.

Quit relying solely on a digital marketing strategy that may or may not be effective. Make your strategy multi-pronged (and far less expensive) with direct response reports.

Digital marketing is an overcrowded space

Let’s face it, especially in real estate, it’s tough to compete online.

It takes a lot of effort and, typically, money to stand out from the crowd online. First, you’ll need a digital marketing strategy; if you don’t hire an agency or try a DIY strategy, the learning curve is a monster.

For the average agent, real estate business marketing dollars can only go so far. Make efficient use of your time and budget by marketing to your target audience with engaging reports.

How to win with direct response reports

You’ll first need to decide which topics you want to cover with the flyers. If you’re a listing agent, there is no end to topics you can use:

3 Critical Steps to Take When Ready to Sell
Dangers of Overpricing
Should I buy or sell first?
How Likely is a Real Estate Market Crash

Looking for buyers? Targeting renters is a brilliant strategy, and you can find many of them in condos and apartment complexes. Here are a few topics to consider:

4 Mortgage Options with Low Down Payments
Rent vs Own
Common Reasons Home Purchases Fall Apart
How to purchase a fixer-upper

Check out the four buyer Direct Response flyers mentioned above HERE and many other reports targeted specifically for buyers.

If you decide to go the DIY route, use basic online formatting on your handouts. Keep your real estate flyers simple and employ:

Lots of white space (don’t try to cram your bio, for instance, on marketing handouts).
Use bullet points.
Use short sentences and paragraphs.
Use a compelling, colorful, attention-grabbing photo.
Keep a digital copy of your creation that you can include in your newsletters, emails, blog, and on social media.

Get them out and start generating motivated buyers/sellers

Although flyers work great in a door-knocking campaign, you aren’t limited to that marketing method. Consider using one of the most effective marketing techniques ever: direct mail. Offer your “free report” on your direct mail piece and provide an easy way to get it either through a link to a download (in exchange for an email address or by text).

Now you’re able to follow up with your new prospect via their email address or phone number to make sure they received their report and to ask if they have any questions.

Branded flyers containing interesting, valuable information, delivered consistently, is a brilliant way to expose your brand as the area specialist to the right audience.

If you’re looking for a way to stand out in a competitive market, consider adding them to your arsenal.
