google this addressAs I drove through the center of Franklin MA today, I couldn’t help but notice the political signs for state representative.There are political supporters standing in the median in the roadway holding political signs, as well as signs planted along the state highway in the grass strip in front of storefronts.It’s evident who has the most political backing in Franklin MA by the visibility of his signage.He’s sure to win this election, in my opinion.

Politics and real estate have many similarities when discussing marketing with the exception of negative advertising.  Politicians should take a page from our book and have riders that say "Google My Name." 

I’m a firm believer that the real estate agent with the most signs will have the best chance of securing the most listings in town.There are many homeowners who do not have any affiliation or familiarity with any real estate office or agent, and those are the potential clients who will remember the name on the sign.

If an agent has more than one sign on a street and/or in a neighborhood, it will appear that the agent’s name on that sign is the agent who “owns the town.”We make sure there is a sign and riders that market each property we have listed.It’s one of the best marketing methods and it’s free advertising.It’s a marketing method that I consider the reward for listing each property.

I’m a firm believer in integrating all of my marketing.Each of our listing signs has a rider that says “Google this address.”Signage is a very important part of marketing and signs should be interwoven with other forms of marketing.Our signs are integrated with our online marketing for each listing.

A Google search for each address will result in the majority of the titles on the results page belonging to The Kuney-Todaro Team with several different blogging platforms exposed and available for further investigation by potential clients.

Marketing is a task that must have no voids.It should be continuous and completely integrated so that one method links to another method.The bridge must never be open ended.You’ll lose the clients if they fall into the abyss.  It's your job to keep them on track to find you.

You are so right and that is so smart of you to have that rider on there.  At some point soon, I'm going to create some signs for us w/ the new Flooring Girl logo.  Maybe I'll do something like this.  Those that are finding my blog are extremely dedicated.

I always ask why a potential seller has called us.   Many, many of our agency signs has been an answer more than once.

Barbara, I know I do put the address out there. Now I need the riders to invite people to go get the information. As for the politicians, some of them probably don't want their names Googled, everything would be there

The more signs, the better...at least in real estate. I have to admit that the volume of political signs that blanketed our town during the last election was irritating. They were everywhere, and they were not very attractive.

Hi Barbara.  Doug has to be on crack.  The Realtor who has the most signs will definitely control the market.

I like the sign rider that has "Google this Address".  I use a URL for my listings with the street address and I may shamelessy steal your idea.  That is, if I have your permission first!

Kathryn..... actually, Bill Gassett was the first one in our area to use that rider.... and I didn't ask permission to have some made for me.... every agent who blogs should have that rider on every listing..... we're the only agents in Franklin who has them....but no one else blogs about listings....
