#1 Differentiate – don’t emulate your competition.
The first major mistake that most companies make, in almost every industry, is thinking that what worked for another brand will also work for theirs. Your real estate business has unique strengths that you can talk about to stand out from the crowd. Use them. Positioning your business as the leader in a particular niche or simply playing to your biggest selling points are the best ways to find the right clients. You should be inspired by the success of others, but never try to mimic or fit your brand into their marketing strategy. Make your own mark on the real estate landscape and clients will find you and appreciate you for it. You have to know who you are before you can expect customers to. This brings us to our next point.
#2 Stick to the marketing plan – don’t chase ideas.
Marketing plans are the strategic roadmaps to achieving your goals. It’s what you use as a reference before making every marketing decision and before launching any creative campaign. The only time your marketing plan should change is when your business’s objectives do. In the same way that you shouldn’t copy what other real estate companies are doing, you shouldn’t get carried away with “cool” new suggestions that grab your attention. Creativity is most effective and natural when based on a sound strategy. Any marketing should reinforce that strategy, or else you are risking both your budget and time. Don’t gamble on great ideas. Get the ROI you deserve by taking the time to create the best possible marketing plan first. A SWOT analysis is a great place to start, but there is more that should be considered. Real estate marketing companies can provide you with the expertise that can help position your company and create a marketing plan you can be proud of.
#3 Hit the target – don’t hit them over the head.
There’s a fine line between “just enough” and “too much” marketing. Your brand needs to be present enough to be seen, but not seen enough to be perceived as excessive. To enjoy better results, focus on quality over quantity. Less is more, but only if each piece is providing you with a good return on your investment. Again, it comes back to points #1 and #2. Your positioning and strategy will set the tone and pace for the target you are trying to reach. Which audience matches your specific real estate brand? Find them, learn them, and then speak to them in a targeted manner. Keeping track of key performance indicators (KPIs) will help you analyze your results to see how you can improve your marketing and make the most of every dollar spent. This is another way that real estate marketing companies can help. Not only do we optimize your website to show up on the first page of Google, establish and manage social media accounts to attract the best followers, and create content across all media platforms… But we also provide analytics to maximize your results and minimize your costs.
