The Ultimate Money and Time Saver for Agents

By
Real Estate Technology with Homesnap

 

 

Do you know how complicated it can be to run Facebook ads? For a simple print ad, all you need is a designer, and the publication takes care of the rest. But Facebook ads require so much more work. 

 

Think about it. You need to:

 

• Hire a designer

• Build or buy an optimized lead page

• Understand and use Facebook’s ad platform, including audience targeting

• Publish the ad yourself

• Refresh content weekly

 

All of those tasks come with a cost, whether it’s your money or your precious time. As a real estate agent, you need to be out selling homes, not putting together a puzzle just to advertise on Facebook.

 

We understand that the process is involved and complicated. That’s why we developed an end-to-end Facebook video ad solution. Ordering a Facebook video campaign takes less than five minutes, and then Homesnap handles everything else moving forward. You won’t need to do any of the bulleted items above!

 

Why video ads? To put you ahead of your competition. Video ads stand out in your audience’s Facebook News Feed, making your ad more engaging and more likely to result in conversions. While other realtors run only static ads, your mix of video ads along with photo ads will result in better variety, a greater reach and, ultimately, more leads.

This validates my suspicion that video ads and even some Facebook Live is the way to go in 2017!

Video is certainly the most engaging. Hope you have a successful year!

Not sure FB Live will get much audience in my Time Zone (Hawaii, 5 or 6 hours earlier than Eastern Time depending on Daily Savings). But a big YES to video being the thing to do in 2017.

FYI... I have been doing the video ads for 3 weeks and already have 3 leads. Not bad for $5/day. Amazing product you guys have. Also doing a static ad this month to see the differenct. Will continue to use and making a blog about it soon. Thanks!

This works for Staging as well. It's open or universal to a lot of different facets of life in that way

Videos are great.  However, regarding FB, I saw a metric that states the average post is visible for 3 minutes for your target audience.  So why put your video where it serves multiple platforms and embed a link in your FB post?

Thanks for the comment, Mick! Curious about the details of that stat - do you know where you read it? Facebook does serve the ad multiple times to some of the audience (reach vs impressions), so it's not a one & done buy.


Facebook doesn't treat links to 3rd party-hosted videos the same as those uploaded to their platform. They won't autoplay videos from 3rd parties, which is a pretty big deal when it comes to placement and standing out in a busy news feed. If you have a video you want to link to on multiple platforms, you're better off uploading it directly to Facebook and then also Vimeo or YouTube if you want to link to it elsewhere.
