Suddenly, the biggest names in real estate, aren’t in real estate.  It’s probably a good thing high school kids can’t get a real estate license. They’re entirely capable of taking 85%  of the buyer and seller leads in your city  armed with nothing more than a laptop. During lunch. While “tweeting” their girlfriend .
It’s how people communicate today.  All day.  Every day. Everywhere. Social Media  Real Estate  Marketing
It’s not a fad. It’s not a trend. It’s not even a shift. It’s a full blown marketing revolution . And  it  demands to know… “you in, or you out?” It doesn’t throw scraps to the bystanders, like most other marketing strategies do. The options are…. do it right, or don’t do it at all.
How big is Social Media Networking? By 2010 Generation  Y  will outnumber the  Baby Boomers .  96% have already joined a Social Network. 1 in 8 people who got married in 2008 met on the Internet. It took the Internet 4 years to get 100 million users. Facebook  signed 100 million users in 9 months. If  Facebook  were a country, based on population, it would be the  fourth largest country in the World. Ellen DeGeneres has a larger  Twitter  following than the populations of  Ireland, Norway and Panama. 42% of Americans watched a short marketing video last month.  On their phone. 35% of Amazon sales are Kindle books (non-paper books read on a screen). We are no longer interrupted by advertising.  Today, advertising follow us.
Social Media Marketing   raised 89% of the  467 million dollars used to help elect President Barak Obama. The President, it is rumored, once sent an email to 23 million people. From his Blackberry.
By shear size alone, anyone trying to market a product or a service would have to be loony to ignore the  Social Media Network  market.  Foolish actually. But there’s an even bigger reason to pay attention: 74% of American’s trust what a peer recommends to them.  “ Peers” in the world of  Social Media Networks  are called, “ friends .” A really good word. Sounds suspiciously like a digital sphere-of-influence.  Social Media Marketing is about developing “Social Skills.”  14% of American’s believe an advertisement. Advertising, as we know it, is dying.  Like newspapers and magazines. .
Enough tech talk. First, let’s talk about how to generate leads.
Click Cards for outbound emailing. A great website that has lots of High Value Propositions. There are only 3 things any agent needs to create a  prominent  Social Media Marketing  program. Simple enough. Email addresses.
Once upon a time, people looked for homes by going to newspaper classified ads. Some still do.  About three a month.  And they are all in their 90’s. Bad for newspapers (another suicidal industry bent on resisting change). Good for the little guy.  Now, it’s pretty much a level playing field. But you have to play by a few rules.  And that’s where a lot of real estate folks fall down when it comes to the Internet . It’s also why most real estate websites don’t produce leads.
They’re boring.  And boring websites  always get boring results. Too much information eliminates the  need to talk to you.  Forget the “tips.” If you don’t ask for a name and an email address,  you won’t get one. National Association of REALTORS® studies say- For every person who walks through your door,  211 visit you online. There’s nothing wrong with the Internet. But there may be some things wrong with your website. Why typical real estate websites don’t get leads.
(Do the words “mind-numbing” come to mind?)  Blah, blah, blah. When somebody created that very first real estate website…. APPARENTLY, the idea was, every real estate website would be like every other real estate website. Because that’s what happened .  House pictures, bad photos of agents and sleepy copy.
Before A typical real estate website About US Featured Listings Property Search Contact Us More blah, blah, blah. And the consumer says… “ If you want my business, you’re going to have to do better than this!”
After
High Value Propositions  get names & email addresses Name and email address.  First and foremost.
Leading agents began putting up their own websites around 1998.  Lesser agents followed.  We designed these sites and hundreds more – for top agents and companies all over the world. We toned down the narcissism (somewhat) and actually OFFERED PEOPLE SOMETHING! Irrefutably improved marketing appeal.
Ever wonder what might happen if you gave people some  high-value reasons to do business with you?
Today, our marketing websites are designed to  harmonically   interface  with the  Social Media Marketing  medias. Remember, our websites have  one essential purpose  for being on the Internet at all and that is to generate new leads.
Corporate websites have several jobs:  Lead Generation .  Digital organization.  Public relations.  Distribution of information. A company website should reflect the heart of its agent’s online continuity.  Your team should have continuity.  Synergism is a real thing.  It’s tribal, like social networking. Custom Designed Corporate Marketing Website
Generating Leads Begins with  High-Value Propositions .  “ You give me your name and contact information, I’ll give you ____________.” Professional design, layout and syntax. Required.  Navigate by image or navigation bar.  Required. Offer something big.  Ask for their email address.  Offer something big.  Ask for their email address. ( HOME SEARCH  is about the only feature we kept from our generation two designs.) Continuity and message management.
All your agents should  have their own website. Those websites should be custom,  but they also need to reflect some  serious continuity .
Wor l d of Mouth Advertising. Outbound email powerful click cards  +   provide a place to click  +   don’t be a narcissistic sales jerk  +   ask them to click  =   LEAD!  If Einstein were in real estate today, he would use this lead generation formula. Admittedly, not exactly Rocket Surgery. Today, it’s about sending messages “out” Not waiting for prospects to come “in”
For example, an agent might email a click card to his email list. When they “click” on the offer they land on the corresponding page on your website. People will click to your site if you give them a reason to. Click to website Click to YouTube Click to blog
Professionally written copy commentary explains the features and benefits of your high-value offer. Then, they are asked for their contact information. When they click submit, the agent gets an email in their email box, and a new lead. And maybe a paycheck! Seem like a lot to go through to get a lead? Think about how much you go through when you don’t have a lead. They click on the click-card and are automatically taken to a page on the agents website that makes the offer and asks for contact information.
Holy Cow!  That  is  cool .  What is it? It’s called a “Click Card”.  It’s what appears in an email inbox. (You see them all the time in your email.) Click Option Click Option
FIRST – NOTHING BAD!  We take the “high road” when we market a client.  Between 7 -13 will click the button to look at the home.  About 23 will forward the message to a friend.  Send this click card to 300 people and see what happens .
Our experience is the best data bases start with a single entry.  Start today. “ But I don’t have 300 email addresses.”
Listing agents impress new seller prospects see these! Before long you will learn to design fairly complex outbound email campaigns.
You can communicate any message ! E-Z to write and read reports.  Not gimmicky “FREE REPORTS FOR IDIOTS” offers. Birthday click cards.  Holiday click cards.  Announcement click cards  Service click cards.
People love quick-hit reports, not long winded articles? Successful Social Media Real Estate Marketers are generally… Humorous – often in a satirical kind of way. Nice people – Non-sales types sell on the Internet!  Less advertising, more advocate – “friends”.
You can outbound email just to be friendly! And remember, it takes less than 2 seconds and costs nothing.
If you can think of it, we have it or will design it. Professional.  Flexible.  State of the art.  Stunning colors, arresting photography  and images.  Incidentally, these are real agents you are looking at.
“ What kind of high-value proposition should I offer?” We have many incentive programs to choose from, each packaged separately ready to go.  Some cost a little money,  some don’t cost a dime.  You pick. Outbound email marketing is a phenomena.
This is a great lead generator that costs you nothing. Many of our clients also use our online recruiting strategies to punctuate their recruiting
Another high-value proposition that costs nothing. Fresh. Friendly. Right.
A healthy low-cost, low-labor “buyer getter”. Things agents recognize as truly new.
Touch base with common struggles.
Spoken by agents, to agents.
Authenticity and honesty is powerful.
“ I should have thought of that!”  Impact.
Real agents, looking their best.
We show them great marketing.
And finish with a knock-out punch.
Neat, huh?
“ I love it. I want to do it.
