A Tool to Share Your Message and Extend Your Reach - The Possibilities are Endless!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Malfi Marketing Solutions ~ for real estate professionals

 

Hi, it’s me again…I know I’ve regrettably been missing from this great network and if you like I can provide a list of my clients that you can talk to!  Truthfully I've been busier than I ever imagined I could be (a great problem to have!) and so grateful for all the opportunities since so much of my business success has come from the Reach of Activerain. (Take note: blogging on AR works!)  All kidding aside, I wanted to bring your attention to a new tool I’ve been using that has so many great uses and it’s easy to use.

Allow me to share some of the cool things that can be done with this online tool GoGoPin:

  • Create countless ads for printing or web posting (here’s a sample page I did for real estate or you can view below) 
    • Note: With the Basic (free account) Ads stay active for 3 days unless you decide to upgrade for $8/mo then it will remain active for 30 days. The basic account seems ideal for Open Houses or advertising upcoming events that you post a day or two before the event.

  • So easy to use just drag and drop.
  • Upload images from your computer, Flickr, or Picasa.
  • Save as HTML, PNG, and PDF (great to embed into your blog)

Here’s a sample of how it looks in your blog

Note: when you create your ad and get ready to save it, you can add a link to your ad - ideally this would be your website to drive traffic to a particular lisiting or area.  Where I said "Your Logo Here" you can have a picture of the property and add "click here for more details and photos" which is a call to action to get more information on the listing or you can simply add the link to the ad and the entire page becomes a clickable link to your website, et.

 

  • Post to Craigslist, eBay, Twitter, and Facebook (extending your reach)
  • After your ad has been created you are ready to export and here's the screen that comes up to give you publishing options:

  • From your online ad via Go you can also Share it with countless social networks (341+) (I love this feature)

  • Get a dedicated landing page for each of your ads.
  • Use QR Codes to make your ad mobile-friendly (especially helpful for the ads you print.)

I see these ads being a way to bring true focus to your business.  Just think you can have ads and dedicated pages for:

  • New Construction
  • Luxury Homes
  • Developments, Areas or Neighborhoods
  • Price Points
  • Rentals
  • Open Houses 
  • Need I go on?

You can also use GoGoPin to create your very own facebook page.

Facebook Business Page Options include:

  • Pictures & Text
  • Video & Slideshows
  • Gallery
  • Audio
  • Maps
  • Social Plugins
  • Property Showcase

I know for a fact that clients are checking on their agents to ensure they are marketing their listings as promised.  This is just another way to show them your efforts and it certainly could be appealing to your prospects looking for an agent who employs creative and innovative marketing strategies.

I challenge you today to approach your marketing efforts with creativity.  Find new ways to either create or spice up your marketing efforts that leave your  prospects and clients with a very satisfied feeling and the feeling of wanting more not to mention the great benefits of extending your reach both online and offline.

Is this a tool that you would find useful in your business?

Interesting. I think I will take a look and see how I can use it. Not being a techno geek I must find easy to use tools. Thanks.

GOOD MORNING ANNE MARIE!  So glad that you have been busy - even though we miss you on AR!  I just signed up for this and will play around with it later to see what I come up with for ads!  I wish the free ads lasted a little longer - but if it's eye catching in the first place - I may not need more time to get homes rented or sold!

Hi Anne - it really is easy to use and you can try it for free and see how it comes out.

Gary - I hope you will and I definitely think you'll find it an easy to use tool.

Janet - so happy I could help inspire you - can't wait to see your masterpiece!

Good Morning Garielle
- Yes a great problem to have but does make me sad that I don't have the same time available to write blog and interact the way I used to - I miss everyone.  I agree wish the free was at least a week long ad but like you said maybe you won't need it - lets hope!  Can't wait to see what you create - you're so creative on your blog!

AM, good to see you back on the blogosphere!  Perhaps we should discuss whether GoGoPin would add to the tools I already have.

FYI, free ads can go longer up to 6 days if you share you ad on Facebook.

Ann Marie, thanks for sharing! I love new business tools. I'm just curious, have you found this to be more useful than Postlets, and if so, how? It seems similar to me, and that's completely free. Just curious! Thanks!
