Lost in a sea of marketing

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Access

I am new to life as a full time realtor and wondering if anyone has any advice on finding good (and inexpensive) marketing material.  Is it better to design your own? Pay for mailing lists and services? Newsletter or postcard or magnets...???? I love working with my clients but so far they have all been referrals...I would love to grow my business....I'm just not real sure how to get started.  Just a little bit overwhelmed!  Thanks for any and all advice!

Hi Jeanna,

You raise a good question regarding marketing materials. I find I prefer to use the internet rather than producing paper products like flyers and other materials. I know it makes me feel better to tell my clients we are trying to help the environment and going green. They gain a new respect for me. On Behalf of Credit Restoration Consultants and the over 107,400 members of Active Rain I want to welcome you to the AR family. I hope you enjoy the experience. If you have any questions regarding credit, credit repair, or any credit related issues including  identity theft please feel free to call or e-mail me. Have fun and keep on blogging. It is a great way to let people get to know you.

Regards,

Lori Isaacson
