At the end of every year, it’s important to address the success and challenges your business faced throughout the year.\u00a0 If you had a profitable year, GREAT!\u00a0 Analyze your efforts to determine which worked the best.\u00a0 If business wasn’t as good as you would have liked, now is the time to make changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The definition of\u00a0insanity is doing\u00a0the same thing over and over again and expecting\u00a0different results.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When creating a marketing plan for Realtors<\/span>, start by summarizing what you hope to accomplish.\u00a0 This includes a profile of your business model, goals and objectives.\u00a0 If you’re new to the business, it would be beneficial to conduct a market analysis by researching your target market, demographics, and competition.<\/p>\n

Once you feel you have a good handle on the what, now you can focus on the how.\u00a0 Without a doubt, marketing is critical to the success of any business, regardless of size or industry.\u00a0 What makes real estate unique is that while you are in the business<\/strong> of selling real estate, your business <\/strong>is selling yourself to potential clients.\u00a0 Here are some ideas to help you do just that:<\/p>\n

\n
• Branding<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Do you have a logo?\u00a0 A motto or catch-phrase?\u00a0 An image?<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Strategic Web Design<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Having a website isn’t enough.\u00a0 Everyone has a website.\u00a0 You need to have a strategic keyword focus for SEO, custom url’s centered around this keyword or keyword phrase, an intuitive IDX interface, an effective means to capture email addresses, advanced social media integration, original content that is updated daily – best accomplished by blogging, community pages with at least 300 words and hyperlinks to external sites, and more!<\/p>\n

    \n
    • Drip Campaign<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      If you don’t touch people at least once a month, they will forget about you.\u00a0 However, if you contact people too much, they will mark you as spam.\u00a0 Balance and timing are extremely important with respect to emailing.\u00a0 Contact your real estate virtual assistant<\/a> for advice on this matter.<\/p>\n

      \n
      • Social Media<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Facebook Business Page, Twitter Page, LinkedIn Page, Pinterest Business Page, Google+…you need them ALL.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 SEO.\u00a0 Do not trivialize the importance of having social media sites.\u00a0 Not only is this a great way to indirectly prospect, it’s also instrumental in search engine ranking (especially for blogging).<\/p>\n

        \n
        • CRM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          You can have all the prospects and contacts in the world, but if you don’t keep them properly organized then you may as well have none.\u00a0 REVStaffing<\/a> has virtual assistants who are well-versed in platforms such as TopProducer<\/a>, e-Edge<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

          \n
          • Lead Generation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Do you use RedX<\/a> or TigerLead<\/a>?\u00a0 Do you have an account on Trulia and Zillow?\u00a0 Do you blog?\u00a0 Do you have a consistent, yet nonintrusive way to ask for referrals?\u00a0 How do you get leads?<\/p>\n
