KWKLY: The Newest Product From ActiveRain

KWKLY Text to lead service


What Is KWKLY?

KWKLY is a text-to-lead service where consumers can text a unique code like "homeprice" to a short number (59559) and immediately receive property information about any home in the area that is currently for sale. The service is integrated with the MLS, so you use the same code for every listing and we determine which property they want info on based on the consumers GPS location. 

For offices, KWKLY can determine who the listing agent is for each inquiry and route leads to the appropriate person so that an entire office can use the same KWKLY account, and each agent will receive inquiries on their own listings. 

 

How is KWKLY used?

As a marketing tool, KWKLY can be used in a variety of ways. Some of the ways current customers are using the tool include adding their text code to:

On site advertising (sign rider on listing signs)
Postcard Marketing
Newspaper Ads
Social Media posts
Radio and Television Ads
Open House Signs

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

As an example, instead of putting out 50 flyers in a flyer box and having no idea where they all went, KWKLY allows you to hang a sign rider, directing someone who wants information on the home to text a certain word (you pick your own word or phrase) to 59559. KWKLY then immediately sends them back information about the property they are standing in front of. It also allows them to text the address for any other property in the MLS to that same number and get info on those other properties as well. And the best part, now you know the phone number of the person making an inquiry on your property, essentially generating a prospect (or the more dirty version of the same word, "lead") for your business.

Or for your next 'Just Listed' postcard campaign, here's an idea. Instead of directing recipients of your postcard to a webpage as a call to action, where you might not know who visited, you can instead add your KWKLY text code and direct folks to text the code to 59559, allowing them to get complete property details and see all the photos. And, KWKLY let's you know who showed an interest in your newly listed property. Every person who reads your postcard has their phone within arm's reach and many have probably sent or received a text in the last ten minutes. 


A Few Of The Reasons We Are Excited About This Product

The Huge Growth of Mobile:
Everyone and their mom (and grandma) sends text messages now. It's surpassed phone calls as the thing people do most often with their phone. Just about every single person who drives by your listing has their mobile phone within arm's reach. It makes sense to give them a way to make an inquiry on your listing with that mobile phone.

Real Time MLS Data:
KWKLY pulls a feed from your local MLS. That means that consumers are getting the most up to date information about the property, and you don't have to do anything but hang the sign rider on your listing sign. We pull in the property data from the MLS direct and the system runs without you having do anything but get more listing signs up.

Extremely Low Cost Per Lead:
Leads can be expensive. Based on what some of our current customers are paying and how many inquiries they are generating on a monthly basis, these are some of the most cost effective leads in the industry today. One brokerage located in Oklahoma City generated 585 inquiries in the month of July  for the $249/month rate for their one office. Generating prospects at less than $.50 per lead is almost unheard of! 

Bottom of the Funnel Prospects:
You're not getting an inquiry from someone who is 8 months away from buying and looking at houses online in their pajamas before bed. You're connecting with someone that is literally standing (or more likely sitting in their car) right in front of your listing. I spoke to one gentleman this week from Virginia who uses the service and he told me that he never has a better conversation with prospects than when he catches them still sitting in front of the house.

Don't know your first name (sorry) so the things I like: KWKLY, those are terrific letters to spell out what you're trying to do. Secondly, I like that your imagination is the only limit. Sadly, we don't have cell service out here, so no texting. Back to the ole flyer method for me!
