About Us:

I was a very successful realtor for 2 years in Clearwater, FL. I am FABULOUS at lead generating and I liked working with sellers VERY much! Marketing myself and their properties was the best part of the job, and then I realized that it truly was the only part of the job that I liked!

Any realtor will tell you that the real work starts when a contract is submitted! There is the negotiating, inspections, financing snafus, re-negotiating, making sure timelines are met and adhered to and SO much more. I have decided to help other realtors (and small businesses) with the parts that I shine at and let others take over the clients and hard work of getting a deal to closing!

I have been marketing obsessed for YEARS! In the .com heyday I worked at Digital Chainsaw as the Executive Producer of Web Design and Development and since then have owned a marketing company and done design work for various mailing companies, small businesses and non profits.

Testimonials

Julia Fishel of the Suncoast Partners said, "I'm going to refer you to everyone that ever mentions the three words 'real estate marketing' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Julia and her husband Matt have implemented the Thrive Client Contact System for Realtors already, utilizing the call scripts and emails to reach even more prospects than ever before. They have also taken their business to the next level by having professionally designed marketing materials! "Thank you for all of your hard work on our new identity. The website, flyer, notecards are fantastic. I send twice as many notes per week as I did before because I'm so proud of how we look and the confidence that follows. Last week I sent a note to an expired listing with no phone number. I got a call four days later asking me to list the property. No calls - just a card! Best investment we've ever made in our business."

I did the 100+ email 33 touch from you last week. I was overwhelmed with joy with the response I received from people in my top 100 that were in need of real estate. As of right now, I have one new listing from a past customer (right after the mailing), 2 rental listings and one listing lead from a past customer who is considering listing his investment home with me. 2 of my sellers emailed back to ask how we do the reverse offer. So I had about 6 responses. It does not matter the content of the email, it was just getting something from me! The two listings were from people I have not heard from in a while! It was amazing!!! This program works!! I can not wait to follow up with the phone calls, which for me is the hardest part! I am looking forward to making calls! Imagine that! It took this 33 touch program to spark me to do what I should be doing all the time! Jenn Doak (On my way to being a MEGA AGENT!)

Oh my! that peach logo ROCKS.Thank you !!! and there are bonus items.. WOW! Tiara, you have exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. (yes, you may quote me on that anytime in any manner)

Lori Crawford cannot be happier with her personal brochure! It combines the sandollar branding on her business card, car magnets and presentation cover. It is AMAZING how often her clients comment on how all her marketing "goes together". A potential client recently stated that, "None of the other agents we talked to had anything like this." It really makes a difference with the high-end clients Lori focuses on!

"Each of us has what we like to call our lucky day. We don’t plan or prepare for this day; good things just happen to come to us out of nowhere. For me, one of my lucky days was when I met Tara Jacobsen with Marketing Artfully. Deciding to step back into the real estate arena was to say the least a little intimidating. I knew that I had to show great professionalism and creativity to capture a percentage of the market and the audience I was hoping to convert into clients. After sitting down with Tara and discussing the look and message I wanted to project, she was able to make my dream a reality. Every aspect of my logo design and slogan represent the caliber of my business and my beliefs that I offer to my clients. When meeting clients and/or agents for the first time one of the comments that I continually hear is how beautiful and professional my entire marketing package presents itself. Everything coordinates and repeats the message I want to send; elegance and professionalism is what you get when you hire me. It’s truly a pleasure working with a professional who not only listens, but creates within your ideas. Without Tara and her magic I would not have been able to achieve the success I’ve enjoyed in the short period of time." Lori Crawford Realtor

Christi Cash Galinski - I sent out the email about referrals and got 12 responses! 2 True Referrals & 10 contacts, I am very pleased with that response!

Tammy Leventis (Mail Marketing FL) "Tara is a pleasure to work with, she gets the designs to me on time and makes me look good to my clients. Over the past 7 years she has designed for a wide range of clients who have been very satisfied with thier designs." Through Tammy I have been able to design for a broad range of businesses from Non-Profits to Pizza Restraunts! The range of clients she has brought me has really helped me with expanding my range of services. If you nee any help with your mail marketing needs, I can't recommend anyone more highly!

Brian Forrester (TriCounty Mortgage) "I needed a way to contact both agents and consumers, the postcard program Tara developed for me has worded well for that. I have reconnected with two past clients and gotten numerous opportunities I would not have had without them." Brian has a personal brochure, customized notecards and a postcard program custom designed to project a solid and stable brand. Since the upheavals in his industry, these items are more important now more than ever!

John Dietz and Ken Rossi of the Dietz Rossi Group said that this was "The 33 Touch program is a great way to contact our whole database in a way we haven't been able to until now." They are mailing to their clients and sending an email (or two) to their entire database each month! While the Dietz Rossi Group did have a professionally designed logo, they were not utilizing it in the rest of their materials - we are fixing that!

Your training sessions today were so terrific - like I said that is the 1st time I've been at a seminar or training session that I didn't put on my sunglasses even once (to take a quick snooze)!!!!! Also, I'd like to thank you for the personal help you gave me afterwards - that meant so much to me because it would have taken me forever to figure out what you did so quickly & effortlessly!!!!! You're quite a gal & I feel very fortunate to have met you!! Keep up the GOOD WORK!!!!! Helen L. Maday REALTOR
