Have you ever used a professional writer?

Have you ever used a professional writer for your advertisements, blogs, or articles>  I am considering hiring a professional to develop an ad campaign for me.  Not to conrner the market but to get a fresh start with a new year.

Like my motto are "Real Estate with Personality" and "Your Realtor - Your Professional Friend", I want to use them and promote my seminars and my real estate services to a more affluent community.  Yes, I said affluent.  I just want to play with the big girls and boys and get 5 sales and 5 listings in the $900K+.  In the area I serve, I have from politicians to cashiers.  And I serve them all as I they were paid the same wages. 

Does any one else use a firm?  About how much does it cost?  What was your gain?  Not actuals but at least tell me if you would try this out or not?  Or is there another way other than going to every single mixer in the Metro Area?

Happy Holidays.

It would not hurt you to try something that you have not tried then you will know if it pays off.

My fears are the costs.  I want an excellent campaign but not break my bank account to do it.  Do you know of any ad companies?

You may be able to find someone virtually who will do this for you and the costs would not be prohibitive. All the best.

I too write all my own stuff, that way it is mine and from my heart and not a copywriter. I run 52 ads a year plus 12 monthly booklets, image ads and all. I usually spend the last few days of the year (last year it was on Christmas as my wife works) and wrote almost my entire year of image ads...and best of all I work cheap!...lol
