A large portion of sellers still believe that newspaper and magazine advertising sells property. As a matter of fact, studies comparing the effectiveness of the various marketing strategies reveal that:
- open houses result in 5% of all sales;
- relocation information results in 7% of all sales;
- advertisements result in 10% of all sales;
- yard signs result in 18% of sales;
- the real estate company's reputation generates 10% of sales;
- the real estate professional's reputation, experience and efforts produce about 50% of all sales.
Advertising should only be one element in a
global and comprehensive marketing plan; my efforts and strategy are therefore optimized accordingly, using a
varied array of resources and methods:
- "traditional" avertising methods (such as ads, flyers and open houses);
- local and nationwide marketing through direct mail;
- Internet marketing (email, website and RSS feeds);
- professional networking;
- relocation services;
- client education
