American Touch Tag, Free Beer and Creative Marketing

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with The Silent Partner Marketing

American Touch Tag and Free BeerIn the world of real estate, there's a hell of a lot of noise.  

Real estate agents try desperately to cut through that noise on social media.  One of the most common ways of doing it?  Tying in with a charitable cause.

You see it all over the place "Keller Williams is proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and so on and so forth.

The challenge is that for all of the good intentions, it's easy for your message to get lost in the noise of everyone talking.

So how can you differentiate your company?  How do you cut through that noise on social media?

Well, free beer tends to help.  Free beer and, of course, some creative marketing.

Today is American Touch Tag day. Did you know that?  Yeah, neither did we.

So when we heard about it, we figured we'd launch a fun little promotion on Facebook.

Our post: 

"Today is "American Touch Tag" day....and to celebrate, The Silent Partner is giving away free beer. "Tag" a friend in the comments below and share this with your friends. We'll randomly select five people who "like" us and give them a six pack of delicious beer.

Not bad. Free marketing tips and tricks every day... and now some free beer...."

 

 

The trick is in the distribution.  So we're sharing that post with our friends.  And into our groups.  And putting a $20 highly targeted budget behind it.

Cut through the noise.  Have a little fun.  Come play.  Click here to join the game, tag some friends and maybe score a little beer.  The worst that comes out if it is a lesson in marketing.  :)

I want to hear from you.  What are YOU, dear rainers, doing to cut through the noise in this digital age?

Good morning Kyle. We are in an industry, I'm including real estate and mortgages, that needs all the positive PR that can be gotten and you're right, there it is also important to have a little fun.

People are surprised at my levity and fun approach in all I do. Why? Its our default mode. The serious mode is the intruder

I had to stop by and read your blog, not only because I enjoy what you write but I wanted to know what "American Touch Tag" was all about.  I thought there was a new hashtag out there that I didn't know about.  Wasn't even thinking about the good ole touch-tag football days.

Cheers~ Drinks some beer for me!!

Are you going to ship that six pack all the way to Arizona if I win? Of course I have a Total Wine 2 miles away from me so a gift card would suit me just fine.

This is a great promotion.  Simple and Fun!  Now how about converting that beer into Pina Colada's.

Kyle: Behind an opportunity for some free beer is smart marketing...I hope many Rainers realize that and understand how they can leverage something fun to generate interest and perhaps a larger following.

Kyle-I got your message but it was after the Touch Tag event. Just important to make sure the touching is appropriate.
