Virtual Marketing for the Real Estate Agent:

The number ONE reason why a real estate agent should break into virtual marketing is because prospects are researching for real estate agents and properties more and more on-line. While it’s still important to post your listings in local papers, few people are using newspapers to search for their first, second or third home. Just look at the subscription and newspaper revenue across the country.

For a real estate agent to stay a step ahead of their competitors, it’s important to look at new ways to build your brand, your referrals and you revenue.

Here is a list of services that Independent Projects provides to Real Estate agents and other professionals who are looking to branch into the Virtual world for their business:

Flyers, Postcards, Brochures:   Design and mail to your prospects or clients.

Business Cards:    We can design and print.

Website Design/SEO:    Get a custom website for YOU.  Even if you are with a real estate firm, it’s still important to get your own website, if your company allows.

Send Out Cards:   Software program you can purchase to send out referral, thank you and holiday cards. We can manage this software program for you.

Client Management Systems:   EzData & Sales Force. Keep track of your client database a little easier.

Custom Twitter accounts and management:   With the ability to link Twitter with Facebook and LinkedIn, updating your status just became a bit easier. Managing your updates is still time consuming, however.

LinkedIn:   Great tool if used properly. Creating a LinkedIn account doesn’t stop there. Join groups with similarities to your profession. Post news links, real estate trends and listings. Join in on some discussions within the groups you belong to.

Active Rain:   Stay on top of what’s going on with other Real Estate agents.

Facebook Fanpages/Groups:   Create a separate facebook page for YOUR business. You don’t want business contacts accessing your personal photos/status updates. We assist with creating fanpages or groups and managing your updates with backlinks to your blog posts/website.

Email stationary/Newsletters/Ezines:   With companies like Mail Chimp, Aweber and Constant Contact, we can have your newsletters and emails going out with a fresh design, customized to your specifications. Using Drip Mail Campaigns with one of these companies, you can keep track of who opens, who spams and keep all of your contacts in one convenient place.
