Reach The Network Only Your Children Can Reach

When we saw this show we said, "Yes! That's perfect. She really gets it." Julie Eichacker took some time away from selling and went to the Valentine's day party at her child's school. She, of course, took her camera so she could capture the moment. When she got home, she put together a show for the class.

Then she gave the link to the teacher to send home with her students... to give to their parents! This is just a great idea. The teacher, students and parents will enjoy it and the parents won't be able to keep themselves from sending it to friends and family all over.

Julie, kudos to you. View This Very Creative Presentation!

Wow, What a great idea. I like this. It really makes people think about what you are doing. If this is done with the idea being I want to be of service and can be helpful to the parents that can not be at the parties, with an added affect of getting your name out there. People will come up and ask what you do, and really start creating relationships with people some of us can not do. Best of luck. I would do this or things like this on a couple times a year.

Dave, whenever I speak to groups of Realtors, I talk about the importance of using tools like Real Estate Shows, which include your branding, to stay in touch with friends and family. Here's why. First, it's just a nice thing to do. Second, it keeps you "top of mind." If you want referrals from friends and family, you need to be on their mind when the opportunity to refer arises. They will only refer you if they remember that you're a Realtor. A consistent stream of fun Real Estate Shows about family and events will help.

Jeff, this is a great way to use RealEstateShows.com! Thanks!

I didn't know about RES's.. I'm going now...

Thanks

Great Idea!

Julie, Eric and Kelly... it's all about relationships and using the viral power of people wanting to share information about themselves or the ones they love!

Seth... it works. I've talked to many agents who have done this with school functions. kids soccer games, etc.. While not all teachers or coaches are going to share the link in this way, some will. Even if they don't, it's a good conversation starter... "I created a show about... give me your email address and I'll send it to you."

ActiveRain linked to this article in their email newsletter but the RES link doesn't work. Waaaa.

I wanted to view this but the link is no longer active. I'll check back later.

Dito the link is gone!

Link failed but I wil check back later. Looking forward to seeing the "show".

Wow... this is one very old post. The link is now good again. :)

Thanks for the link. Great Idea. I have used the concept a couple of times for my church on VisualTour. People seem to like it. A Lot

Nicole Nicolay talked about this a lot at Inman Connect SF. A great idea to "engage with others" and benefit the community!

Tina in Virginia

This is a great idea for viral marketing and a great way to reach a number of people by sharing with them something they truly enjoy.
