When the announcement for the LOCAL EXPERT Relocation Package contest was made, I had no idea that we would get such an interesting mix of relocation packages. Unlike most contests on Active Rain, this was a very open format, and it was designed to increase the business of each member that participated.
Many of you have already shared stories about the business that has started to come in as a result of putting together this relocation package. It seems that this is something that many people were interested in, but needed the contest as the motivation to get started. While this contest was five weeks long, and a lot was accomplished, this is only the beginning.
This announcement should not be looked at as the end of building your relocation package, but rather as a foundation for the package that you will continue to build going forward. For those of you that took the last step and created the single post with links to each of your other posts, you now have something that can easily be sent out to potential clients, and even to other agents for referral business.
I'd like to make some suggestions for continuing your relocation package to use as a business tool:
- Continue to add links to your wrap-up post with pertinent information
- Replace links to your market reports each month with links to the most current version. This is especially important in a changing market.
- Copy and paste your updated wrap-up post on a monthly or quarterly basis and post it again as a new post. If you're using this to e-mail out to a client, you will want the post to look current, even if the links are a bit older.
This contest was a great start to building a relocation package, but the real benefits will come to those that treat this is a fluid document that is to be kept current. Think of it as a business plan that should be referred back to and updated regularly.
There were so many great entries into this contest, and I really think that we can all learn from each other. Please take the time to check out the posts of the other contestants for ideas for your own relocation package.
Now for the moment that you've all been waiting for patiently...the contest results.
