That's what one letting agent
told me the other day. The value of marketing focused on tenants is zero.... completely useless.
You can market your lettings agency by telling or you can market it by showing. There's no doubt that interactive
marketing, marketing where you actually deliver something of value, is far far
more powerful than telling. Telling is just bragging. Telling is ignored.
Showing, on the other hand, is about me. me, me, me! It's about providing an
interactive experience that touches me.
What a great opportunity to do just that. I might be crazy, but
my guess is that people who are tenants are
also people who might be landlords (or even more importantly, know landlords).
And my guess is that giving someone, a tenant, an extraordinary experience (by
simply caring and not treating them like a piece of dirt on your shoe like many
agencies do) when they are a tenant is the best way in the world to turn that
person into an advocate, a flag bearer for your lettings company, to recommend you
others even if they will never be a landlord themselves.
