Does Your Eye Candy Leads to More Sales?

Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

The business of marketing luxury real estate on the Internet and in print is all about capturing and holding the attention of your target market. Stunning photography of your luxury listings is like eye candy. It leads to more sales and can also help you gain more market share because it demonstrates your marketing savvy.

 

Selecting an attention-getting lead image for your blog posts can also help you develop more readership because it compels them to follow you.  A recent study by Shift, a marketing firm, confirmed that adding a picture to a tweet increases the likelihood that readers will click on an embedded link, by five times.

 

New technology is surfacing that analyzes which images grab the most attention.  This will be a boon to advertisers who seek a bigger piece of the $1.6 Trillion e-commerce market.

 

If you want to be a leader in your luxury real estate market, you may not need this technology.  You just need to find a photographer who can work at the level of Architectural Digest. Think of your primary listing photo being good enough to make it on this magazine cover. Eye candy attracts more attention and leads to more sales.

That first impression is so important.  The first picture in MLS is the eye candy for all potential buyers.

Ron and Alexandra- when I see professional quality listing photographs I see an agent who is in tune with the market and takes pride in what they do.

Alexandra-You first have to capture their attention and then keep them with being the best like you and Ron. When we think luxury real estate consultants we think of both of you. Love that graphic.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel that is the purpose of any advertisement. More attention and sells. The questions is which one does it best for the product we are trying to get sold. And eventually more sells. Thanks for sharing.

Alexandra, Top notch photos for any listing are a requirement in my mind. I hire out to a professional for all listing photos. Blog photos are mine but I think I might start taking some online clasees. As post said you have to grab readers attention.

Hi Ron & Alexandra - You're right - high quality graphics add a critical element to making an effective presentation, whether it's a marketing piece for property or a business. Your recent website design is an excellent example of how it is used best.

Humans are visual creatures. If an image is pleasing to the eye then your chances increase greatly that the consumer will be interested in what it is you're writing, posting, and selling.

Good morning A & R. Fortunately,  business that is referred on a regular basis and my blogging efforts, I get a steady stream of potential clients to my website. I would say I'm going to keep doing more of the same.
