The end of summer is already here as streets are cluttered with school buses. This is a good time to look at marketing!  This is also my entry into Lauren Selinksy's - End of Summer going into FALL Market ME Contest.

 

1 - Twitter and Instagram- I've been using Twitter and start recently using Instagram regularly.  I post photos of the house I have listings.  My goal is to post on them regularly and consistently on each of my listings.  Every week, it's a different photo of the house.

2 - Newsletter- Rather mailing out reports painfully put together I put it on my website. I get occassionary a click or two.

3. Farming-  I farm in Silicon Valley concentrates in above-average turn over neighborhoods. They seem to get more bang for the buck. Those claiming 2% or higher success rate will not work here. There are a lot more Realtors in this area than all Realtors combined in some states. Right now in a seller's market, I find that Just Sold postcards are useful. Here is a postcard I mailed out a few weeks ago on a listing I closed.

Furthermore, after 15 months of consistent blogging often toiling long hours burning mid night oil, I recently fulfilled my free ride requirements for 500,000 AR points (500,000 AR Points ). Without encouragement from many AR friends I do not think I had the will power go through this boot camp to maintain a good blog discipline.

For the Instagram it is more a challenge. One uses his iPhone to upload his photos and images. One can link to other social media like Twitter, business sites sharing information and images.

Have your social media accounts log in and all pw ready.  You need to enter from your smart phone (fat finger syndrome was my problem)......

Great entry and congrats on the 1/2 million 'mile' mark!!  I also do market reports more often than monthly on my site - then link to them in my newsletters.  I alway see a surge the day/week that my newsletter goes out, which is part of my mission!  Like you, the just-sold postcards are getting the best response in our incredibly strong sellers' market.  Have a great weekend, Sam!
