It’s a new year and if one of your strategies is to create a real estate listing generating system to fit the “new normal,” consider a mix of the old-fashioned and the new-fangled.
The best marketing plans include both direct mail and digital marketing, and linking the two is even better.
We’ve come up with some safe ways to get closer to potential clients during the pandemic – some ideas to kick around as we move through 2021.
Forge stronger links with your community
Real estate agents generally tend to be quite generous with their money, frequently offering to give a percentage of each commission check to a favored charity.
Other agents are a bit more hands-on and feel that cutting a check, while admirable, isn’t enough. These are the agents who host school supply drives, winter sock collections for the homeless and actively volunteer their time and labor to local charitable organizations. The list is long and impressive.
And, they have a point, especially during the pandemic when consumers need and actively search out “warm and fuzzy” stories.
Yes, giving should be altruistic. And, we agree that using it to generate leads seems a bit mercenary.
But, it’s a win-win. Charities that are clamoring for help receive it and, if promoted appropriately, giving your time to a worthy cause can also be good for business.
Find a local group with a philosophy and cause that you can get behind and join them. Let your social media followers know how they can help too. Be passionate about the cause by letting consumers know about your acts of humanity.
But do avoid an overly-promotional “look-at-me” approach.
“Right now, the ability to forecast is a superpower for business leaders as consumer sentiments and behaviors change,” notes Sam Acuna and Sofia Kluch at gallup.com.
They add that “Some of these changes are likely permanent but many changes are temporary … and localized.”
Thankfully, the real estate industry is quite hardy right now and forecasted to remain this way.
In fact, the folks at mansionglobal.com say that 2021 will bring “… the most robust housing market in 15 years.”
They also mention a Redfin forecast that more new homes will be built this year than during the past 16 years.
Leverage your listings
While coaches advise that agents door-knock around new listings, this isn’t an appropriate time to do so.
Direct mail, on the other hand, is not only safe but rising in consumer popularity during the pandemic.
Just Listed Color Series
Listing agents should send at least three cards to each household in their target audience for each listing taken:
Just listed
Open house (if you’re holding one)
Just sold
Each postcard should include the URL to the home’s dedicated landing page and, to your virtual open house, if you’ll be hosting one.
The home’s landing page should clearly communicate your contact information and a lead magnet. A popular choice for a lead magnet is the “Mortgage Options With Low Down Payments” Direct Response Report, click HERE.
We love Tom Ferry’s brilliant addition to the typical “Just Sold” postcard.
“… add a section that says ‘How we did it’ that lists out all the steps you performed to generate offers, AND all the details of the results your efforts created… how many showings, how many offers, sale price vs. list price, etc.”
View an example of what Ferry’s referring to at tomferry.com.
Mortgage Options with Low Down Payments Report
People haven’t changed. Some priorities have, many of our lives may have, but inside, we’re still the same human beings with the same wants and needs, with just a few new ones added to the mix.
Also add as an opt-in/free offer on your website, your emails, and all of your direct mail.
