Do you want a way to secure more listings? Do this: print 500-1,000 of your cards every time you take a new listing. Why, you ask? Flip the card over and you'll see why. On the back of your card, you will find a glorious picture of your new listing with it's address as a .com printed right on top of the picture.
You simply create a website for your new listing (I'll teach you how in just a moment), and advertise it on the back of your card. Have these cards handy at every open house, leave them behind every time you show property, send them to prospects, give a stack to the sellers, leave a stack at the house. The other Sellers will wonder why their agent is not promoting their home as aggressively as you are promoting your listings. Prospective Sellers will also take note. These cards will be saved and when the time to sell rolls along, guess who'll get the call: YOU!
For under $ 15 you can have 1,000 of these cards printed at GotPrint.com. You can also check out VistaPrint.com for some decent prices.
Create a one property Website. Just go to RealBird.com, and create an awesome flyer. Buy the .com for your listing's address and connect it to the flyer (see my example of it at http://www.609fifthavesouth.com/). You now have a one listing Website for under $ 15. When you sell the home you can gift the website to the new owners. They can now direct all their friends and relatives to the website to show off their new home. All their friends and relatives will now have your mug shot, your address, phone numbers and link to your website and your blog. Guess who they'll call when they need to buy or sell Real Estate?
By the way, give a generous amount of those business cards/listing presentation cards to the new owners, so they can send them to friends and relatives. They will be happy to send them to all their friends and relatives, to show off their new home and they will inadvertently be promoting YOU! Is this pure genius, or what?
We all know that one of the best ways to garner new listings are the "Just Sold" cards you send to the neighbors after the sale. The "Just Listed" cards with nothing but the picture of the new listing and the .com for that listing will work wonders too. VistaPrint and GotPrint.com are good avenues for those also.
