The importane of good advice on Internet marketing

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 08:31:10 -0500

According to some authors most of the realtors that were blogging receive non or very little business from their efforts.

This could be due to one of the following reasons

•1. The title of their blog is difficult to find because the blog name is either their name or something not related to their area of business (farming area)

At first someone specially those realtors with more time in the business will say that they need to market themselves and I will agree that is true but it is not true for the title of your blog.

•2. The realtor is having difficulties enticing the reader to ask for information on the topics relevant to their search. You need to know a little more on how to increase the SEO of your webpage using your blog.

3. The lack of informatin on the use of SEO is directing the prospect to a search out of his own webpage. This gives the prospect to another company.

The Importance of Internet Marketing

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:19:57 -0500

In a recent article Mike Parker1 is emphasizing in the importance of getting a greater presence on the Internet. He correctly quotes the different papers published by the national association of realtors (NAR) referring to the increase of prospects starting their house search through the Internet, and the increase income earned by those realtors that are already getting a good return on investment on their Internet presence.

The importance of SEO to obtain the correct Internet presence is your main goal. This will allow the prospects to locate your page when they are seeking information on your neighborhood. The greater amount of people finding you on the Internet will represent more business that will come your way.

The problem is how you make this people give you their information so you can contact them back. There has to be some kind of way these prospects will be enticed to give you their information by promising a newsletter, a virtual tour for sellers or information just tailored to their needs. It is very important that these prospects receive feedback as soon as possible after they give their contact information.

How to use Social Networking Profitably?

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:51:20 -0500

There is a lot of information regarding which is the most important way to use social networking to obtain the biggest return on investment. In reality when we talk of social networking we are using our own time to promote our services so unless you are one of those realtors that prefer to pay to get a low quality blog that supposedly will allow possible customers to see you as something you are not we are talking about your own time.

Of course time is too valuable and most of us have very little free time to invest it in something that gives nothing back so we are all trying to get the most out of it. Barrett Niehus¹ recommends the use of twitter with an automatic respond system and of course a call of action that could be related to some kind of information that the prospect will receive periodically like a newsletter, etc.

In general as Rebecca Levinson² correctly advises the biggest problem that any blogger encounters is selecting the materials that should be addressed in the blog. You should be writing on topics that would make your possible prospects desire to read the topic you are writing about and of course she also gives a set of ideas that are really interesting about how to select your line of writing.

Once you have selected the topics that should be addressed in your blog, you have to decide which sources of information are worth following. When you read other professionals materials you can interact better with them and by interchanging ideas obtain a more valuable product.

For example everyone knows that NAR recommends the use of the Internet since around 80% of the customers start their search there. They also say that you need to add pictures of the property you are intending to sell. What NAR does not give information on is how to use these tools to optimize your return on investment.

The gist of the correct use of social networking is writing about those things that make your service really special. You need to demonstrate your prospects that you are the expert in your area. That you are willing to go the extra mile to make their properties get exposed on the Internet and sold at the best price.

How to evaluate your WEBsite?

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 07:02:39 -0500

I recently was reading a group of blogs as I usually do every weekend to see what could be of interest for my clients and I found a group of ideas that I will like to share with you.

Pamela Candejas1 suggests the use of surveys as a way to evaluate the effectiveness of your website of your blog,

Other authors suggest the use of periodical blogs if possible published a specific date of the week either Monday or Thursday, use of Google analytics and Website grader as good tools to know what should be taken care of at your webpage. Peyman Aleagha2 recommends taking care of the number of page views or the time the visitor stays on the webpage as a good method of evaluating the hit results.

In the authors opinion it is in reality a combination of all these techniques combined to excellent customer service what will get you to be considered by the 80% of customers that usually visit the Internet will consider your business as their option.

Remember that good customer service is the best solution to obtain returning business. Follow this ideas and good luck as always in your line of business.

Importance of getting connected

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sat, 09 May 2009 07:06:48 -0500

I was recently going over my weekly homework of following the different sites I usually follow and I found two interesting articles that essentially deal with the same topics on how to get noticed on the Internet.

You engaging others (YEO)¹ is one of this concepts that is really important when you are thinking on improving your presence on the internet. It doesn't matter if they came to your web page and they just bounced back. You need this people to help you get in contact with other prospective customers.

Both articles make a lot of emphasis in the importance of prompt response to prospects and which gadgets can help you in this task since you could have between hundreds or thousands of customers².

Some of the things they make emphasis in the real estate industry is the importance of professional photography and virtual tours in enhancing the quality of you web page, The benefits of social networking and the return on investment(ROI) of your hard earned money. What sense it will make to invest $200 dollars in a weekend add in the local newspaper when only a minor number of the potential readers will ever see it? Doesn't it makes more sense to order a virtual tour for almost half the price that will stay for at least a year active on the Internet.

Dealing With a Reluctant Prospect

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sat, 02 May 2009 18:59:19 -0500

Sometimes a prospect tells you that there are low cost providers that could allow him to do a minimum investment and still obtain an acceptable virtual tour. Normally this low cost providers do not offer more than the possibility of a do it yourself virtual tour.

I will recommend not to question the prospect's decision because by doing this you are making your possible customer feel that she/he made a mistake. Instead accept that you understand that the economy is going by difficult times and he/she has to decide how to invest his/her hard earned money in the most profitable way possible.

The clue is to start talking about return on investment (ROI) and explain all the services your company offers apart from the regular virtual tour. Most of the low cost companies do not offer network syndication of the tour or will not write a blog about the tour for free. The increase exposure offered by your company to the realtor, its company and of his/her web page will probably give her/him a better ROI for the investment of his/her hard earned money.

Due to this much lower fee upfront he/she is hoping to obtain a bigger ROI. On the other hand, if she/he decides to hire a full-service provider, like your company the increased exposure and marketing expertise might help to sell the listing in a shorter time obtaining a greater ROI.

Your conversation might end in the following way: I'm sure you'll make the best decision. I will gladly answer any question that might help you in allowing you to obtain the best ROI possible for your hard earned money.

Real Estate Industry in the Technology Era

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:08:34 -0500

The California realtor association made a survey that shows that 90% of Agents are not providing what the consumer wants. Consumers number one consideration in choosing an Agent was its lowest commission and the last reason was the most knowledgeable.

The survey show s that most of the participants considered the Internet as a better source of information than the information provided by the agent. Despite 95% of the sellers still used an agent. Ray Logan Century 21 "Elite" says that "In the near future the Agent that properly utilizes technology will replace the Agent that doesn't use it."

The number of sellers choosing not to use an agent increased from 46% to 74% in only three years. On the other hand 84% of prospects start their search online and at the same time 96% Agents use print advertising.

Lizette Fitzpatrick - Broker-Realtor® Lizette.US - Kentucky Residential Homes says, "I have to laugh to myself when I see all the ones that still waste all their advertising money on Homes Magazine ads or newspapers.", it is very important to understand that the Internet is the most economical a sure way of advertising your listings.

Only a little more than 50% of the Agents are using multiple photos or a virtual tour as part of an online home listing, and most of the ones that use photographs not hire a professional photographer. The agents need to participate in doing a nice blogsite.

You need to understand that your possible prospects are following your blog, seeing your page on FaceBook, etc. and observing the quality of your multi-media marketing solutions.

You cannot sell an overpriced property, and I will recommend to stop throwing your money in Newspaper advertisement. Price is the most important way to sell a listing. Price your listings correctly and you will have agents fighting like sharks over your listing.

How to Increase Your Adds ROI?

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:55:01 -0500

Different authors are giving a lot of advice on what can be done in this tough market, from the use of email newsletters¹, to subscriptions and long tail phrases² to try to catch the traffic from the Internet to suggestion to customers ages 62 and over to use the special options available for this citizens to buy new houses before they sell their house³.

All of them make emphasis on the importance of quality service from the part of the realtors, and I will recommend that this has to be the case with any company whose main product is service.

Realtors are always concerned with their return on investment ROI and how you are going to measure your return on investment without carrying an appropriate statistics of how many leads you obtain from the different adds you place on the market.

If you decide to use a newspaper add or a magazine you are betting on 2% of the total number of subscriptions to that particular kind of advertisement product. It also reaches a limited area where that particular edition is distributed and has a life span between two days and a month.

On the other hand the National realtors association reports that more than 80% of prospects beginning their search on the Internet. So you need to associate with a marketing provider that can provide you with the highest level of presence in the Internet. From a virtual tour that can be reached from all over the world placed not only on the MLS and raltor.com but in another web page that has a rank of at least three. If you add to that a panorider with a webaddress associated with the business you are advertising the possibilities of getting your customers attention increase notably since you will be catching those customers that just pass in front of the house. Of course if you have an Internet marketing company that can also provide a full Internet syndication the possibilities of finding the right prospect for your listing increase notably.

Today's Real Estate Reality

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:38:56 -0500

Despite some reports that consider that the economy was not suffering as much as others were saying ¹. Due the reality is that the customers are not noticing the increase in loans availability from the banks.

This intention to safe the economy started in the previous administration investing mostly in the banks to buy the bad credits these institutions had incurred in. The amount of money injected was increased enormously in recent times with no change in the attitude of the banking institutions.

The reality of the real estate market is that all the homes have lost a big amount in their prices in the last two years. This has promoted the misconception of most owners that assume that their homes are valued more than where market is actually placed.²

Therefore realtors need to start educating the owners in the real market price of their property. It is important that before a realtor accepts a listing he/she should investigate if the owner is really committed to sell.

The home needs to be staged before you even accept the building, and you need to market the home as soon as possible in the Internet using all the tools of the trade from virtual tours to a complete network syndication. A home that is correctly priced in good conditions and is advertised appropriately on the internet tends to sell three times faster than other houses that only appear in the MLS.

Gabriel Duque (Virtual Florida Tours) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:41:46 -0500

Recently I was talking to one of my clients and he came with a question on why he should be placing his adds in the Internet.

My answer was extremely simple Return On Investment (ROI). Why we have to base our adds in ROI is very simple if you place an ad in a magazine or newspaper you invest between $200 and $100 for an add whit a life stand between 2 days and a month. To make things worse this add will only be seen in the area of circulation of that specific paper or magazine. also the Real Estate section will be seen by approximately 2% of the buyers of that specific edition.

When you place a virtual tour in the Internet you will have a full year of advertising that will reach the whole world for around $100, and if you use our marketing system we will syndicate your tour and make it even more visible to potential clients all over the world! To help you understand the importance of this we recommend a little video we developed recently
