Real Estate Email Marketing Tips
- Start building your real estate email list from everywhere you can imagine. Grab emails from Facebook, Twitter, open houses, LinkedIn, your website and wherever else you can think of.
- Don’t use campaigns already set for you. You want highly targeted campaigns you have made for a specific purpose. Someone interested in your monthly newsletter should not get the same email as someone who wanted information on a home for sale.
- Track and improve your campaigns over time. If you find one subject line performing poorly, throw it out and try again.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for your prospects business in your email campaign. Waiting for them to contact you isn’t always enough. You need to be proactive and ask for their business at some point.
- Deliver value with every message. If your prospects are not happy with what you’re sending, not only will they opt out but, they will also have a negative emotion attached to your brand. This could lead to loss of sales over time and it’s always why we say don’t use pre-made real estate email marketing campaigns that you haven’t made yourself.
