Go for a unique business card
You will always need a business card regardless of your industry. For in-person meet-ups with buyers and sellers, it’s vital you have something to hand them that has all your information on it. The key is to make your business card memorable.
The above is a great example of a business card that will get people to remember you long after your conversation with them ends. A business card may not seem like something that important to focus on but minor details are what will keep you top-of-mind.
Put together a guide to local attractions
Any time you can add value to the lives of your clients and leads, you are helping to create deeper relationships that will continue to grow past your transactions with them. Creating a local guide is a great way to provide that added value to them. Take advantage of your existing email and mailing lists as your base. The guide should include everything your local neighborhood has to offer. Highlight great neighborhood restaurants, small boutiques and shops, and anywhere else of interest.
Take it a step further and see if you can negotiate discounts or special offers in return for your recommendations. This will help add even more value to your readers. For example, you could ask a local restaurant to offer a buy one get one free coupon for dinner or to donate a free round of wine if you send patrons their way. Small details like these offer up great impact in the eyes of your customers. They will no doubt remember your name the next time they or someone in their circle is in need of your services.
Create an infographic
Your real estate marketing plan should include great graphics. Putting together a helpful infographic as a real estate promotional item is the perfect way to help explain something of value to your audience. Studies have shown that people are 80% more likely to read a piece of content that has visuals than those that don’t. The above is a great example of providing key information about a topic many people don’t know that much about: home insurance.
