4 Things to Include on Your Marketing Postcard

Posted by Reamark Marketing on Mar 24th, 2017

If you haven’t yet ordered your print marketing postcards for your real estate business, get ready to. EDDM (every door direct mail) postcards can generate mountains of customer leads for you and your agency. Your biggest challenge will be how to organize your new call list!

EDDM is a service provided by the USPS where you can have your postcards delivered to every door on a route without having to put a name or address on it. When you combine this service with ReaMark’s print marketing postcards, that’s a winning combination too good to pass up. When you order your custom postcards or pre-designed postcards at ReaMark, be sure to include the following for best results.

1. Your Professional Photo

Homebuyers and sellers like to see whom they will be spending their time with. When you include your professional photo on your postcard, new customers will be able to see that you’re professional and friendly looking. For the best photos, hire a professional photographer. Selfies won’t deliver the professional lighting and other effects you’ll need.

2. Knowledge About the Area

Buyers and sellers like to know they’re working with someone who is familiar with the area. Prove that you’re a “local” by including some pertinent information about the neighborhood, such as information about a local house that just sold, or trends in the local real estate market.

3. A Line About Your Expertise

Don’t forget to include something about what makes you the expert. Under your name, mention how many years you’ve been in the real estate business or any certifications or awards you have. This will tell buyers and sellers that when they work with you, they’re working with an expert.

3. Lots of Color

Your postcard should be bright and colorful. Remember that it won’t be the only thing your potential customers receive in the mail that day, so you want it to really stand out. Use images with lots of color and positive imagery to entice recipients to read it.

4. All Your Contact Information

Be sure to include all your contact information; not just your phone number. Remember that different people prefer different ways to contact professionals. Some may prefer text, others email and still others like calling on the phone. Let your customer decide by including all the ways they can get in touch with you.

Print marketing postcards and real estate newsletters are made even better when you remember these essential elements to include. Get your postcards today at RealMark.

3 Reasons Your Real Estate Marketing isn’t Working

Posted by Reamark Marketing on Aug 2nd, 2015

Get More Leads from Your Real Estate MarketingFocusing on consumer perception and relationship building before a need arises has never been more important than it is today. In the same way that you hand out business cards and extend your hand to people you meet in person, your real estate marketing campaign is an introduction that creates a lasting first impression.

If your current lead generation efforts aren’t working for you, maybe you need a new lens. Ask yourself these three questions to find out if it’s time to revise your marketing strategy.

Are you creating value with your real estate marketing tools?

Most real estate professionals invest in marketing campaigns during the lean times, but if that is your primary strategy you’re missing opportunities.

Statistics show almost two thirds of people looking to sell or purchase a home engage the first realtor they call. Keeping your name in front of potential clients is critical for success. SOLD postcards mailed on a monthly or quarterly schedule ensure your name is visible when the time is right for new buyers.

Is your plan for success on an “as-time-permits” basis?

You’re busy – professional development conferences, showing properties, staffing an open-house event. No matter how busy you are, carve out time to write a detailed twelve-month touch-point marketing plan, similar to the one we’ve laid out.

Don’t have a plan yet? Get your calendar out and schedule your contacts. Consistency builds recognition – and brand recognition creates recall. When a need arises, your brand will be the first one that comes to mind.

Outline times, dates and target demographics for mailing thank you cards, calendars, postcards and newsletters. Consider social media timing and frequency, too.

Is your message clear and concise?

Remember those irritating late night infomercials where the host keeps repeating over and over, “But, that’s not all!” Although the strategy was annoying, it worked because an emotional pitch to keep listening led to a clear call to action. Your goal should be to lead the reader toward your purpose with engaging content that creates value; then tell them what their next step should be. A great example of a call to action might be, “Call today to find out how much your home is worth!”

Right now, while it’s on your mind, grab your pen and paper and make an outline for developing your real estate marketing campaign. Follow-up postcards are a cost effective tool to put you on the road to success to building relationships and generating leads for the future. Browse through our selection of promotional real estate tools to select your style, then contact us to get started!

A Note From Rick Brown: President of ReaMark

Posted by Rick on May 30th, 2013

Dear Fellow Real Estate Professionals,

Hello I’m Richard Brown and the president of ReaMark. I have been in direct marketing for over 20 years with the last nine years helping Real Estate Professionals, just like you, substantially increase their listings, sales and ultimately their income.

In our business, we are always talking, meeting with and working with realtors to understand your business bettor so I can do my business better in making you successful.

Each year I personally take hundreds of calls and the same question keeps popping up time and time again. “Rick, what works best? How can I make more money?”

So last week I sat down, got away from the kids, and really thought about all of the success stories I have heard during my nine years as owner of ReaMark. What does actually work? What has been proven time and time to be the Golden Truth’s of success. What makes a top agent? And I came up with the four things you should be doing if you are serious about increasing your yearly income.

1.     You MUST contact  your past clients contact list at least every month.

Over 50% of your business should come from referrals. If you are not mailing your contact list you are losing money. Your contact list should include anyone who knows you, your friends or your family. The larger the list the more successful you will be. You really need to sit down and put this lists into a workable database.

2.      Mail Just Listed/ Just Sold / Market updates and Open House Postcards.

Announce your success. Since referrals are the largest part of your business and you want to build up your contact list, these are the second most effective tools at your disposal. You should mail the entire neighborhood and also your current contact list. If your budget is strained these could be part of your planned monthly but for better results you should be doing these mailings in addition to your contacts.

3.     Track your results over time.

The beauty of direct marketing is that it is affordable and trackable. If you have 400 contacts then you could be mailing them twelve times per year for as little as 47 cents each or $188 per month. One sale and you pay for the entire year.

4.     Become known as a specialist of your farm.

A business with no prospects will die. You need a reliable consistent source of leads. Since most consumers perceive all real estate professionals to be pretty much the same you must find ways to differentiate yourself. I get calls everyday from customers thanking me two years later telling me that they now get 50% plus of all listings in their neighborhood.  Walk your neighborhood twice per year, create, submit articles and or advertise in the neighborhood newsletters and finally educate them on community activities, including the local real estate market.

I feel great about sharing these strategies with you for a very simple reason; if I can help you become more successful in your business than ReaMark will be more successful in our business.

I hope this letter has been helpful and has confirmed what you are doing or inspired you to call us to help.  If I can help directly, please don’t hesitate to call me.

Best Regards,

Richard J. Brown

President.
