If you aren’t sure what to write about in your realtor newsletter, remember to keep it personal, use great photos, and offer value to your readers. Don’t forget to include content that highlights your professional experience to promote your brand and get the phone ringing!
Personalize Content in Your Realtor Marketing
Whenever possible, customize content to maintain the interest of your audience. That includes getting personal by sharing your interests as well as your expertise. While hundreds of clients may receive the same newsletter — Don’t forget that you can create more than one for different stages of the sales funnel! — you want to create a connection by showcasing your individuality.
How can you do that?
- Write your realtor newsletters using friendly, conversational language. Use “I,” “we,” and “you,” instead of the more impersonal third person point of view.
- Mention the neighborhood/farm area you’re targeting. That means creating unique newsletters for different communities.
- Talk to the ReaMark marketing team about pre-written content that you can customize for your needs.
- Address your readers by name if you’re working with a curated distribution list.
- Introduce yourself to new prospects, such as those living in a new farm area. Include local listings and sales you’ve made recently.
What Should You Write About?
When in doubt about what content to include in your real estate newsletters, stay close to home. Find ways to target local organizations and events, as follows:
- Local Businesses: Are there new bars, shops, or other businesses opening nearby? Show that you stay on top of changes in the area and share important information new and long-time residents can use. It doesn’t hurt that this will deepen your connection to local business owners.
- Local Events: Everybody loves calendars. They create a compelling visual even if you just list upcoming events. Ask recipients of your real estate newsletters to send you upcoming events you can post in your next newsletter.
- Throwback Thursdays: Share vintage pictures of your farm area. This is another golden opportunity to source content from readers. Long-time residents may have amazing photos that show how much the neighborhood has grown and changed.
- Local Charities: Partner with local charities to assist with fundraising or raise awareness while showing support for the community.
