Thank you Brivity CRM for your insight.  Love that image and YES it says 1,000 words!

We are all so inundated with information.  Now have to check each day who I sent an email to and did they respond otherwise I follow-up in a different way. We can't assume anymore that people are receiving or reading our e-mails. 

"Be prepared with your “elevator speech” to explain what you do to prospects and consider having printed material to leave as a reminder of your meeting."

Any thoughts on how to Brand ourselves?  Thanks AR!

I absolutely agree that email is not the best communication.  We are inundated with spam emails and such it's a bit overwhelming.  I have found that my best form of communication with a client is texting.  It's quick and efficient. Good Post!

I try not to waste my clients' or my time with junk emails. If they get something from me, it should be valuable to their current needs.

Hey and once in awhile you can send an old fashioned letter or thank you card! Talk about personalizing something!

I get so many emails I am guilty of not opening most of them!

I'd not thought to communicate twice - via e-mail AND via text.    Sounds effective!    Brivity CRM how do you personalize the subject line of an e-mail?

 Brivity CRM , good morning - are you in Canada?  I do a lot of thank you cards.

Needless to say the traditional channel of marketing is very much alive. Mailing, mailing, talk in person.

So much great advice here and I gave you a follow. Feel free to follow back and impart your wisdom

I really know this from experience and you can actually like the way

Good morning Brivity CRM ,

Good information on communicating. One form is not always enough..good to follow up and I've always liked the personal touch of a good old thank you note in the mail.

Making the email server glow red from traffic funneled to your real estate beehive. The phone ringing none stop and continuous. That's the sizzle in the rattle and hum of your real estate marketing. Videos do the show and tell, just tap tap and lean back, settle in and listen, watch, learn. Great post and emails are part of the REALTOR tool box must have working like a top in the day to day operation.

I agree about the eail campaigns, it's easy to work for 2-3 hours in your spare time and get paid a thousand bucks on your bank account every week at jobnews80.com

Having multiple channels is the ideal and a diversifies the different things you can do with your life so you're not bored. It's a win-win!

We diversify our communication channels, we diversify way to educate our minds. Good luck with everything.

Great advice for us all to diversify oir marketing and communications methods so we aren't stalemate or annoying

One of the questions we ask contacts is the best way to communicate with them. Text, email or phone? Give the client what they want, not what is convenient for you.

Brivity CRM - undoubtedly, texting is becoming more popular amongst all generation as a mode of communication. Not to abandon the email marketing, though.

It's why it's called search engine optimization because it comes from multiple angles. Good luck with everything and 2017 and very happy holidays to you!

Diversity IS the key to being effective.  The inundation of information these days IS overwhelming.  I ran a little poll on AR the other day and most said they delete 50% - 95% of their email without even looking at it.  If you're going to use email, it'd better be short and sweet... with a headline that's going to get opened.

Metrics are a key to success 

I communicate in the way my clients prefer. Most of them are not picking email, but rather texting.

I seriously don't know why anyone would cancel email. There are always things I find in there that are quality.

I can see that texting is an instant to whatever you need. You just have to set your boundaries you're not everybody's beckon call.

Diversity is great but email will always be the leader in communication due to limitations on other resources.

Texting and email are primary, but I do more and more posts to groups on Facebook... Big one for me is your point... if they open your email make sure it's readible on a mobile phone! So much of the time it is not...

Just just a quick little fuck a quick thought: These posts are going over pretty well and maybe you should put them in one little file folder and do them as a series that you can repeat.

For starters, what is this "cpp cpp" post nonsense?  

Regarding Brevity's post, I agree that having a personalized subject line is helpful, but it makes me crazy when an email marketer's subject line is something like "Hey, beautiful!"  I agree with Carol Williams regarding the number of emails that are unread each day. 

That's part of communication, finding out what channel your client prefers to communicate.

Great reminder to use all methods of communication to get results.

Thanks for the great info about communicating. I get over 100 emails a day, and I for one do erase 90%.
