Proven Back Panel Newsletter Designs

Posted by Rick on Jun 30th, 2020

ReaMark’s 4-page Real Estate Newsletters help you build your client base and increase your sales! ReaMark’s newsletters are the best in the industry, with 2 large customization areas, available in black and white or full-color imprint. What really sets ReaMark’s Real Estate Newsletters apart is that we reserve the top third of the back page to personalize anyway you want. I would like to share with you some of the best proven back panel designs:

 

Option A: Market Update

This is a great opportunity to let your customer’s know what is happening in their local real estate market. People who are getting ready to buy or sell will be particularly interested in this part of your newsletter and will look for your market update information month after month.

 

Option B: Just Listed/Just Sold Information

Many customers will use the back panel of the real estate newsletter to advertise their newest Just Listed or Just Sold properties. And with ReaMark’s full-color printing options, it makes the personalized panel blend right into the information packed newsletter.

 

Option C: Advertise with a Co-op

This is a fantastic way to cut your advertising costs! Find a local mortgage broker or title company that wants to co-market with you and we can split the personalization area any way you’d like. You ask them to pay a portion of your printing and postage costs and suddenly marketing is more affordable!

 

Option D: Advertise with a Local Business

Similar to advertising with a co-op, find a local business that would like to publish a coupon in your newsletter. Again, this is a great way to reduce your marketing costs by sharing the personalization space.

 

Option E: Create a marketing message

Use the back panel to connect with your customers by writing a marketing message, or by using one of ReaMark’s messages. Some people will use the same message month after month as a way to build familiarity with their contacts, while others will write a different message based on the current season or holiday. Whatever you want to say, ReaMark’s newsletters give you the space!

 

Option F: Customize it any way you want!

If you don’t want to choose from one of the previously mentioned back panel designs, ReaMark welcomes you to create your own layout. You are welcome to use any of ReaMark’s messages or photos, or provide your own. We will work with you to create a custom design you are sure to love.

 

Each of ReaMark’s newsletters are packed with interesting articles regarding real estate, finance, home improvement ideas, gardening tips, scrumptious recipes, health tips, and so much more. And with ReaMark’s unique personalization options, the newsletter will look and feel like a product all your own

Lana Muir Fowler
DeCaro Realty Inc.–Cordova, TN

I have been in direct sales for 35 years and I am not easily impressed… My business partner kept nagging me about this great company she had ordered some “marketing stuff” from and wanted me to call them. We receive tons of magazines and specialty item catalogs. She saw something different with ReaMark and emailed me copies of their products. WOW! They looked great! I started my own correspondence with ReaMark. They were extremely helpful, suggesting all the right things and were also great in timely communication. No matter how confused I got and how “wishy-washy” I was, everyone was patient and helpful. I have been in direct sales for 35 years, and I am not easily impressed, but my business partner was right! ReaMark has top-notch quality products and a staff I could almost call family! Everyone was always happy and helpful—a rare combination. I highly recommend ReaMark for great products, prices and a pleasant experience.
Pam Martello

I have been a satisfied ReaMark customer for over 3 years now. Since I started mailing your newsletters to keep in touch with my clients, I couldn’t be happier with the results! I am getting more listings, and I can definitely attribute a large portion of the increase to the success of your newsletters. Your friendly and knowledgeably staff is always eager to go the extra mile in giving suggestions on how to maximize my return.
Donna Richardson
Moorestown, NJ

Your animal series was a tremendous, TREMENDOUS hit. I can’t believe I’m still getting calls a month later. Seriously, I just got another call this morning. I got like a 6% return response and have listed $1.5 million in property from it… and I am in a little rural community so that is a lot for me in my little market. I had to literally send a letter to 190 people that had lots for sale that I turned away. It was a real hit!
Greg Balk
Properties Unlimited, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

Having researched many other companies I selected ReaMark and have been using them for the past 4 years for my advertising needs. I am extremely satisfied with the products and services that they have to offer. Their Customer Care Representatives are always available to offer support and suggestions to make my monthly mailings a success. I have been mailing around 5,000 newsletters a month, and have only been mailing them for four months. I have already received several new listings in return! My clients love the different home savings tips and recipes offered in each newsletter. I look forward to continuing to utilize ReaMark for my marketing needs for a long time to come.
Dave Sousa

My very FIRST mailing of 1100 recipe cards generated within 3 DAYS a $335,000 listing at 6% commission!!! This covers the cost of my whole year’s mailing plus several thousand dollars. Thank you ReaMark.

Creating Seller Interest with Free Home Valuation Offer

Posted by Rick on Jun 18th, 2020

Interest rates are lower than ever, more people are applying for mortgage loans and we are in the prime time of the year for sales. With the average home sale price climbing to $330,000 in May, now is the time to grow your listing database. Attract interest with neighborhood marketing campaigns that let homeowners know what they have to gain, and offer a free home valuation to get your foot in the door.

Tips on Using a Free Home Valuation in Your Direct Marketing

Try our real estate marketing tools, such as door hangers and jumbo cards to create special offers. You can customize your message on one side and include contact information on the other. We recommend a free home valuation to establish trust and showcase your skills. You can also include contact information and highlight recent sales in the area.

On your customized marketing pieces, explain the value of using a licensed real estate agent — including a free estimate on how much their home is worth. As you gather this information, homeowners can think about whether it’s time to put their property on the market. If the homeowners ultimately decide not to sell, you have still gained their trust and contact information to follow up with them periodically, growing your prospect list. However, at least some homeowners you approach will want to move forward with a listing.

Virtual Walkthroughs

Sellers want to maximize their sales price but may not agree to a walkthrough of their property during the pandemic. Explain the importance of understanding any possible defects to obtain an accurate valuation. Additionally, they can walk you through the home using FaceTime, Facebook Video Chat, Zoom or other free apps. That way everyone stays safe and you get a general idea on the condition of the home. Some real estate agents are sending surveys or questionnaires to homeowners to calculate an accurate comparative market analysis without physically touring the home.

Remember to underscore the importance of up-to-date information available only to experienced real estate agents via the MLS and other tools. 

Build trust throughout the process. This goodwill pays off if the estimate falls short of their expectations. It may take sellers some time to decide to sell. In the meantime, build value through Home Tips postcards and other ReaMark products that deepen the relationship. Consider sending COVID-19 postcards to help families understand that we are in it together.

Home Valuation Packet

Highlight the advantages of using a real estate agent to sell their home by developing a market report that includes not only the CMA but the recent neighborhood sales used to create it. Send photos and information with the listed versus final sales price. This is a great opportunity to include endorsements from happy clients and personal marketing information that shows your expertise. 

Safety Precautions Agents Are Taking

The NAR continues to suggest virtual showings to limit in-person contact. Some states have reopened but stress the importance of maintaining social distancing and proper hygiene. Ensure prospective clients that when in-person showings resume, you will wipe down the doorknob and surfaces touched by clients following the showing. Print out some of the recommendations from the NAR to reassure your clients that you follow state and industry guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

It may be some time before things return to business as usual. However, there are ways to reassure clients and keep the industry going with a little common sense and client education on the precautions taken to ensure their safety.
