So, why should you, as a real estate agent consider this? Because it is a unique opportunity to market and promote some of your listings at no charge.
What’s Included:
Listing video(s)
1 “commercial”/about you video (about you with contact information and call to actions)
Free printed materials for promoting site
Free single property site
Inclusion in directory as only real estate agent/only listings to be shown (no competition)
Everything that the businesses get (but listing videos instead of other types) which means – a listing in the directory, your own page on site, etc.
What’s the catch:
Must be willing to contact local businesses that meet criteria and help persuade them to sign up for directory membership; either sell or at least pre-sell them on being a member of the directory
After site is set up, promote the site by handing out the cards with website information on it, on your social media, word of mouth, etc.
Refer me to other agents and businesses for the services I provide
Why participate?
Lots of valuable free marketing
Free video production
Free property site
Additional exposure/marketing
Very little effort (just contact appropriate local businesses and suggest they join)
Provide valuable resource to clients and potential clients (top recommended businesses any new homeowner or even long-term resident could use all in one place)
Helping local community/economy
Supports local charity
Why am I doing this?
I had the idea of creating a site that helps local small businesses but knew I could use some help with getting it off the ground. My expertise is in marketing and video creation, not in sales. Plus I don’t have all of the relationships that a quality real estate agent does. I want to leverage your relationships, while making it very worth your while. You have the relationship and trust built with the businesses that will be featured on the site, and I have the skills to get everyone more exposure and to get new customers.
