30 Days of Marketing Opportunities - Day 10

This is Week 2 in my goal to write 5 days per week for 30 days.I'm continuing this series that was initially designed to motivate me to write. Now, the goal is to continue providing marketing motivation for you! 30 Days of Marketing Opportunities will give you 30 projects or tasks that your Virtual Assistant can handle on your behalf, generating leads that will ultimately generate more income for you!  These are tasks that do not require a lot of high-end skill but, instead, require some time (hence the reason your Virtual Assistant should handle these tasks, not you!) and attention to detail.  Join me on the journey!

Day 10 - Send Sweet Treats

sweet treatsChoose your top 50 or 100 contacts and send them an envelope filled with Hershey's kisses or Starburst candies.  Let them know that they are the sweetest contacts you know and you really appreciate the referrals they send your way.  The point? To make them remember you!  When is the last time you received an envelope in the mail that contained candy and a hand written note?  Probably not since you went off to college and your Mom sent you a care package.  So be the first to send sweet treats to someone else.  They will likely remember you and think sweetly of you thereafter!

Renae, I'm enjoying your posts.  Thank you!  Yesterday, I could only connect to 5 of your posts; I see that I can now connect to all of them.  I'm wondering how I can use this information as an investor who promotes a real estate investor education.  Or maybe I shall just go back into real estate.

Let's think about this, Cindy. My first, off-the-top-of-my-head thought is that not every marketing opportunity I post in this series will be appropriate for someone who is not a real estate agent. That said, my second thought is that many of them can easily be translated to other industries.

  1. Short URLs - you can use the short urls to track clickthrus to your posts
  2. Syndicate Your Blogs - more traffic from outside your SOI will bring you more business
  3. Create a Marketing Campaign for Past Clients - you have students who have been through your program who should be on a follow-up list for referrals - they are your past clients
  4. Holiday Marketing - you can market using holidays the same way anyone else can
  5. Farming - not sure how farming will work unless you use it to farm specific areas where you feel you have a higher chance to find people who would be interested in your program
  6. Socialize Your Listings - instead of socializing your listings, you could socialize your program
  7. Partnership - definitely something you could do - find an agent (or several) who will partner with you on setting up real estate investing webinars or seminars - share the database
  8. Community Website - not sure how you could make use of something like that
  9. Coloring Contest - probably wouldn't work for you either but a different kind of contest would
  10. Sweet Treats - since the purpose is to be remembered by people in your SOI, you could definitely use this idea as well.

And as you said, you could always go back into real estate! Plenty of agents also teach their clients about real estate investing.  You could make it work!  Let me know if you have any other questions!

Renae -as always, you inspire. Maybe if I combined the two and gave myself a treat for writing everyday it would work? I love both these ideas!

Well Kim, my faithful readers will tell you that I dropped the ball. I let life get in the way and it interrupted me from completing the series. I'm planning to get back on track and finish it starting this week. Glad you enjoyed what I wrote so far!
