Ok I have been in real estate for two and ahalf years now. I have been using as much free marketing as I can. Using red light/green light. I have taken on a few new listings this past month and the sellers are asking for newspaper ads. I have only used newspaper ads a few times in the past and have not seen much traffic from them. Here in Syracuse, NY our Realtor association has all of the open houses right on their website. They also have billboards all of the city advertises for people to go to their website to search for open houses. I also advertise my open houses on my personal website, craigslist, trulia, and zillow. I also use social network sites such as facebook and twitter. I have learned to use more open house signs and put them on all streets that can lead to the house. In Syracuse it costs about $80-$100 to put an open house ad in our Sunday newspaper.
What do you guys use differently to advertise for open houses? Do you feel it is important to advertise in the newspaper? Do you find success using newspaper ads? Please let me know your thoughts.
