Have you tried out QR
Codes in your marketing? It's like a little bar code that folks
with smart phones (and an app) can access your website or other online
marketing materials. Agents are finding creative ways to utilize this
function. Some of the syndication sites include a QR Code (with a
mobile ready site) so you don't have to work too hard to get it. See
below for free QR Code converters.
Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ Buyers are surfing the net - they can't afford to drive their cars around on Sunday to the host of open houses scattered all over Portland. Buyers are on Craigslist.com and they are driving around in their www.maps.google.com (virtual) car. If you're not out there (in virtual space), they're not driving by your listing because they don't know it's out there. It's really easy (and often free) to get SYNDICATED on Real Bird, ReallyO, Postlets, Zing Ding, Vflyer, etc. Sign up, up load your photo, profile, logo, etc. then enter your listing details and photos and publish your listing. It will be syndicated to dozens of real estate sites. Many of these interact with your Facebook and Twitter accounts and some create QR Codes for you. KEEP GOING. Post the HTML code created by those sites on Craigslist.com. Each one has it's own design and features. Set up an account with Craigslist.com so you don't have to keep entering in your email address two times each ad. It will allow you to see a history of the ads placed, expired or flagged and easily prepost expired ads. Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ Okay, this next idea is not free, but I really like it and it holds lots of value for the price. For only $10/listing (per year) you get all kinds of great tools. Including that the homeowner can be given their own password to access the listing. They can see the activity themselves and they can post their ad to Craigslist.com and Backpage.com. You can have the homeowner enter in the showing information on the feedback page and send a request for feedback. Unfortunately they can also change the ad. Another tough part is that you can make the site inactive when you're done, but there is not currently a draft feature so you can send it to your broker for approval. More of what I love about this tool is that you can upload all kinds of media (virtual tour, YouTube video) and documents to the site. You can also create a virtual tour (MLS compliant & branded both) from the photos you upload. It will create widgets so you can put them on your websites, blogs. And it's it's own site (you get to pick from a few names). There is so much more, but you get the idea - go to the website E-Properties see for your self. Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ Google Voice, watch this video about the free service. Google Voice transcribes voicemails, rings multiple devices including a computer at once, conditionally forwards/filters calls, and offers free text messaging Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ There are so many tools that allow widgets,
RSS feeds and
so much more on many of the free sites like Real Bird and Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ Another Favorite - Brokers Helper. It has everything you could ask for. An online contact manager, email campaigns, email tracking, free templates, snail mailing, small mailers (individual letters), website, website stats, individual property sites, flyers, mailing campaigns, and soooo much more for only $50/mo. Try Brokers Helper free trial available. Ñ @ C Ñ @ C Ñ @ Want A FREE CRM? Then Try More Solds. This online contact management system is Excellent for Realtor. It includes a transaction manager, for free! If you want their full system that includes mass emails, newsletters, showing feedback, etc it's only $14/mo. Check it out! |
