Marketing Goal: Win the MINDSHARE of the MARKETPLACE
Worst phrase to hear in real estate (IMO): “Oh, I forgot you were an agent. (Next time for sure!)
It’s dangerous to assume people are just going to think of you w/o prompting when the time arises to buy, sell, invest, or refer. And, candidly, the math downright doesn’t support it. Fact is, there are more than 2M licensed real estate agents in United States alone, serving approximately 120 - 130M households. And so, consequently, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd.
My advice is to put your brand EVERYWHERE: organic/paid social media, videos, blog posts, optimized online profiles (e.g. Google My Business), newsletters, email marketing, postcards, radio/billboard ads, and so forth. Pick your channels, craft your message, and get the word out!
Case in point, I was chatting w/ a coaching client this morning who said that everywhere she goes, friends, contacts, and acquaintances make comments about seeing her videos on social or her ads as they surf the web. “𝗪𝗼𝘄, 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁. 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚!” That’s what they all say, again-and-again! And, time-after-time, it leads to new business.

P.S. I’d love your feedback on this post. What’s the best approach to building a thriving agent-brand?
