Real Estate Marketing Tools

There is strategy and planning that goes into real estate marketing that isn’t unlike other industries. Some marketing campaigns can be planned in advance, while other need to be flexible as the market changes. However, in real estate, constant communication is necessary for company and agent branding, since growth in housing availability can quickly produce new opportunities.

There are real estate marketing tools you can use each quarter, such as newsletters and real estate postcards, to help you meet your goals, but don’t feel like you have to be limited to using only one at a time.

To get the most bang for your marketing buck, use the resources you have to complement each other and plan around the potential each month has. For example, March ushers in the start of the spring season, but it’s also the month of St. Patrick’s Day and the beginning of March Madness for college basketball. You can use a combination of these events to your advantage and create fun marketing themes based on your audience and what you’re trying to promote in that month.

Larger pieces like a magnetic sports calendar or note pads can be sent each quarter with small materials sent on a monthly basis as a friendly reminder of upcoming open houses, new listings, and real estate news updates. Your branding should be consistent with your contact information and logo listed every time, but your marketing message can change when a new property becomes available or there is an event planned for your client base.

Don’t forget to take notes of the successes (and failures) of your marketing strategies and analyze what has been most effective in the past. If you feel like you’ve reached a stagnant period, switch up your tactics with fresh material. With ReaMark, you have all the real estate marketing tools directly available at a price that can fit into any budget. We’re always adding new styles and designs to our product line (over 1,000 new items every year) to help real estate professionals keep up with the pace of the fast-moving marketing world.

Get your clients excited about what you have in store by keeping them up-to-date with quarterly real estate newsletters. Now is the time plan for what your theme will be for this first quarter and what news you want to share. When it comes to real estate marketing tools, newsletters allow you the opportunity to feature one of your properties, include your logo or contact information, list information about the neighborhood, or provide home buying tips for first time homeowners.

People want to know why they should select a particular area and what makes it a good place to call home. Newsletters give you a chance to feature all the benefits and amenities your home listings and neighborhoods have to offer. Think of using your real estate marketing tools as a personal guide for potential clients to peak their interest about the housing options available to them.

There are two types of printable newsletters to choose from: half-fold and tri-fold. Depending on the type of marketing message you want to send, large customization areas are available for both types of newsletters. Creative ideas of what to include in your real estate newsletters are:

• neighborhood market updates
• community event calendars
• home selling tips
• information about the area

This is your chance to approach your clients in a friendly, informal way, but also leave them with valuable information and insight as they hunt for the perfect home. It is a way to keep your name on their radar as a professional who can lend a helping hand when it comes to all their real estate needs.

First time buyers or people new to your city are especially looking to rely on the opinion of someone who’s knowledgeable in the industry and can help answer any and all questions about the area. Let them know they can turn to you with confidence for all their real estate inquiries. Order your quarterly newsletters for the upcoming spring season and receive 15% off your order.

With less than two months away from the official start of a new season, now is the perfect time to spring ahead and put your marketing strategy into action. Reaching out to prospects with real estate postcards is an engaging and effective way to remind clients of the time change, while also encouraging them to contact you about their real estate needs.

Sending real estate postcards allows your branding and message to be placed in front of a client at every possible opportunity. Even if the client reminder is to change the clocks ahead one hour for daylight savings time (taking place on March 8th) or simply a friendly spring greeting, seeing your information may be the spark necessary to get the conversation going in regards to their 2015 real estate decisions.

Make sure regular brand visibility is part of your marketing strategy for 2015. Occasion postcards provide an easy and inexpensive way to make sure your messaging stays consistent and your clients know you are engaged. Our company has several styles to choose from including:

• Animal designs;
• Motivational quotes;
• Cartoon humor; and
• Scenic photographs, just to name a few!

Now is the time to order your real estate postcards to ensure there is adequate time to print and ship your selections. We have postcards for realtors to fit any situation. Send one as a fun reminder of the new spring season. Provide spring cleaning tips for those clients who may want to sell their home this year. Or, let your clients know of new listings appearing in your Spring 2015 Real Estate “Collection.” Whatever you want the message to be, you can customize your real estate postcards to market specifically to your particular audience, so make them your own.

For every five postcards you order from ReaMark, you receive one free. Get your prospects excited about what’s in store for the months ahead and invite them to take advantage of your special spring offers and showings. Our real estate marketing products are designed to fit your every need. Make sure your prospects know how they can contact you. Customize and order your real estate postcards today.
