1. Become An Expert
Becoming an expert in your practice used to mean tireless networking events and paid promotions. Today you can increase visibility by becoming an expert on digital media.
Did you know that investing in content for your website could boost your inbound traffic by 3000 percent in a single year? Choosing pertinent topics for you and your colleagues to focus on and presenting this information to the community will pay big dividends.
Content creation is one of the most effective ways to market you and your practice. Leverage that to other sites like LinkedIn and social media and you will be a trusted resource for buyers and the industry alike.
Being a trusted resource means more referrals.
2. Build Referrals
One of the many reasons becoming an expert will help you is that it will build referrals. The more time you and your firm spends on public outreach through content and networking, the more trusted you will become in your industry niche as well as your community.
Referrals are by no means a new trend in real estate. We know they are the foundation for any successful practice. But combining the new abilities of social media with your referral strategy will grow things exponentially.
Over 90 percent of consumers prefer word of mouth to build trust for new goods and services. As a growing expert in your field, on the cutting edge of technology, you can bring in even more recognition.
You can also leverage social media for referrals and sales. Word of mouth buzz is seeded in social media for today’s consumers.
3. Use Social Media More Effectively
If you are a real estate professional with a social media strategy it needs to change every year, or even every quarter. There is no better vehicle to accelerate sales and get you more listings.
Want to become an expert and build your referral base? Social media may be the answer.
The Importance of Social Media in Real Estate
Instagram now has 700 million users. Facebook is the number one visited website in the world, more popular than Google.
Over $17 billion was spent on digital ads last year, a 20 percent increase over the year before. And the reason is simple:
You can target customers effectively and track return on investment. Unlike traditional marketing efforts, you can be pinpoint accurate on a Facebook ad campaign.
And as we all know, you can do much to boost your sales for free on social media as well. Using a balance between paid, targeted ads and consistent content on social media is a must.
