My first viral social media post - nearly 50,000 people reached!

By
Real Estate Agent with Progressive Realty (Boise Idaho) www.Progressive-Realty.info DB-17066

I was pleasantly shocked when I looked at the analytics of my Facebook Business page to see the results I have had this year already!

Compared to many Social Media masters, my numbers look pale in comparison, but I am amazed that I was able to reach 1,339 people in a week with no paid advertising or boosting!

I have not been focusing on building my social media as a business tool as much as should have.  I am obviously changing my marketing mix up this year and looking forward to an amazing year ahead!

Happy 2021 (regardless of what happens outside of our control)!

I ran a contest giving away a small Persian Rug to anyone that tags their favorite charity and agreed to donate time or money to that charity in 2021.

Headlines read:  Post Engagements up 47,000%!

However, the bar was too low to start with.

Good for you.  That is an impressive number, will they buy a home or list with you?  What do you think that number will be?  A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I will probably never be able to directly say that is the tipping point that makes someone list or buy with me, but I do consider it institutional advertising.


If it results in nothing more than gaining awareness for some some great charities, it is a WIN.
