Imagine getting referrals and repeat business from your database and no longer buying leads. It can be done if you remain connected with your database. Sending consistent monthly newsletters is a simple yet effective way to stay top-of-mind for your database.
However, it must be more than a generic, cookie-cutter (boring) email.
There are mass-produced newsletters provided by brokerages or newsletter services that send out the same newsletters to hundreds to thousands of real estate agents, making it impossible for your brand to stand out from the crowd—or worse, your clients receiving identical newsletters from multiple agents. Talk about embarrassing!
What makes a newsletter truly effective?
Personalized, locally relevant content tailored to your personality and audience. For example, I work with an agent in California whose niche is luxury golf course second homes for affluent retirees. Each month, I craft her newsletters with original articles specific to her market, incorporate MLS stats, highlight local events, and design the email from start to finish. Since switching to my custom approach, her open rate has soared from 20.3% to 43.3%!
Not only does she have a fantastic open rate for her newsletters and emails, but over the last several years, all her current and new business has come from her past business and contacts.
Imagine – never having to purchase leads and chase cold calls! It has been done, and you can start by deciding that you WILL send out monthly newsletters this year.
Coming up with ideas of what to have in your newsletter doesn’t have to be difficult.
