International E-mail Marketing?

Okay, here is a new question from the newbie :) We are currently marketing a New Race Track / Equine community and are thinking about whether or not to Market overseas. Do any of you "Seasoned Rainies" ;) Know of any Overseas Real Estate E-mail marketing tools? Boy, that was a mouthful, try saying that ten times...LOL. Please send me any and all info on this topic. If you have already Blogged about International Marketing and think it is a Bad Idea, please send me that too. I like to view all aspects, even if you feel it is not a good idea :) Thanks again AR for giving a Newbie some insite :) <W> Kelly :)

Monica,

Not an RE agent, but I would try to focus on the German (Germany and Austria) market.  They tend to be big in the horse racing circuit.  I would also recommend doing a search on the internet for international real estate sales, just in case you do not get the feedback you are looking for.  Also, look at how some of the high-end luxury homes are advertised.  I hope that you get what you are looking for.

Jason,

Thank for those pointers, I did a search yesterday for International e-mail lists and I found some that may be good ones but I am a little skeptical. I will definitely be searching your suggestions today :)

Monica, can you tell us a bit about the place?  That might stimulate some ideas.  I'm familiar with equine communities, of course, but not of any with their own racetrack!

One thing you might consider doing is targeting trainers.  Their clientele might be YOUR clientele, after all, and you might even sell some properties to trainers themselves. 

Equine-oriented email lists are a good place to start, but you really need to participate in the discussions on them in order to not be considered a spammer and get booted.  If you're thinking about sending out email pieces to an international list, I'll tell you right now that I get a lot of that kind of thing even from those who don't know I'm an agent, trying to sell me this, that, and the other horse-related item, and the unsolicited ones tend to be deleted right off the bat - it has to be something really special and obviously so immediately for me to not just delete them.

Tricia,

Here is a link to the Info Webpage on this Property, it is called Thunder Ranch Estates The page shows all the Additions, it is 133 Acres, in Marion County, FL. Located in Anthony (Home of John Travolta) and it will be a full featured Equestrian Community, which is already under developement. It is beautiful, there is a 3/4 acre race track with 2 80 stall barns that have barely been used. If I had the money, I woud buy it myself...lol. Let me know if this is enough info to suggest how to market it, we are currently marketing it online but I can always put it somewhere else as well :) More exposure, better chance of sale. :)

Monica,

Here is another thing that popped in my head:  everytime I go to the local feed store or go get hay up in Ocala, I always flip through the free magazines that they have.  There are trailers and trucks for sale, barn plans, and farm equipment.  But there are also a lot of new communities advertising listings in there as well.  You may want to pick a couple up to see if it is worth putting an ad in.  Those are the people that would be interested in a property like that, especially in Ocala with all the training and breeding that goes on there.

I realize this is an old post but thought I would respond anyway.  Marketing to Europe is a good idea especiallly now since the dollar is so low.  I am going to be focusing on this more since I have some higher-end properties listed.  I have thought about also trying to target the UAE (United Arab Emerites) since they are heavily involved in the racing scene and of course have tons of money to spend.  My husband was thinking it may no longer be easy for them to purchase real estate in the US now as certain government policies may have been set in place but may try to check into it.
