New Jersey is a hotbed of opportunity for both residential and commercial real estate. Now is an excellent time to get your real estate license and start building your career right away.
You also want to start strong out of the gate; thus, your real estate marketing game must be on point. Even seasoned agents could use a marketing upgrade, leveraging the latest digital platforms to optimize audience reach and analytics.
Even in this digital landscape, there's still a place for traditional marketing methods like signage and real estate brochures.
Here are a few tips to inspire your next marketing strategy.
An Overview Of Digital Strategies
Are you still relying on paper documents at your firm?
How you organize your operation has an impact on your marketing strategy.
A recent study found that nearly 80% of surveyed agents preferred digital e-signatures for document management. This method helps empower clients through convenience and the latest technological solutions.
An overwhelming amount of agents rely on social media marketing to promote listings and generate interest.
Image-based social networking sites rank the highest with agents, followed by YouTube which is ideal for real estate video tours. More real estate firms are starting to use LinkedIn, as well, to attract potential agents.
Other digital solutions like Google Ads and real estate software also have a positive impact on the industry.
If you want to leverage these digital strategies, you must have your own agent website. According to another study, around 70% of survey participants communicate buying and selling information on their websites; roughly 90% of surveyed agents use their websites to promote current home listings.
Partner With a Property Management Company
Add up the sheer amount of marketing tasks required to implement a successful campaign. These campaigns involve time and money; this process also includes tracking metrics like click-through rates, email open rates, and social media shares.
Fortunately, digital strategies can be automated to maintain consistency. You can even automate auto-responses for general inquiries.
However, you simply cannot handle this workload on your own. If you want to scale your agent business, you'll need an experienced marketer who can help.
By partnering with a property management company, you enjoy a full-service marketing experience.
Services include:
- Property maintenance
- Client communication
- Full-service marketing
Property maintenance is overlooked as a real estate marketing strategy, but it's crucial for creating photo-perfect home listings. You need pristine homes for client walk-throughs and open houses.
Property managers also conduct inspections to ensure all appliances and home systems are upgraded; this includes new plumbing, updated HVAC units, roof replacements, and more upgrades.
Providing this peace of mind to clients is a valuable marketing tactic.
If you want to add this strategy to your marketing toolbox, you can join an agent referral program through a property management company like PMI Central New Jersey. By leaving this legwork to a property manager, you can focus on building an even larger, more lucrative client base.
