People are ignoring Estate and Letting Agents

People are ignoring your estate agency adverts and marketing

Why?

… because people ignore all adverts  

You ignore adverts, you ignore banner adverts on the internet, you  ignore TV ads, you ignore flyers that come through your door, you ignore the 80% of emails that come into your email inbox

And people are ignoring your estate and lettings agency adverts

You are wasting your money

That’s not your fault .. the world has changed

.. but there are no excuses from this point on, because there is a solution

Did you know Red Bull (worth £8.7 billion dollars) has built its marketing almost solely on this solution 

This workable marketing solution is called  ….. content marketing

The Definition of Content Marketing ..  “ a type of marketing that involves the creation and sharing of interesting, valuable, relevant, and consistent  content (such as written articles, videos, blogs, podcasts and social media posts) that is designed to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”
  • Interesting  … interesting to the reader - not you as an agent. So telling people how many offices you have or what you have sold or your knowledge of s8 vs s21 notices is not interesting to the general public
  • Valuable …  If you stopped producing it – would people miss it?
  • Relevant …   Relevant to reader – Telling people you have sold 25 houses this month is not relevant to a house seller
  • Consistent .. you have to drip drip drip this stuff .. it takes time to turn attention into engagement and even longer to turn engagement into trust (and people do business with people they trust
  • Clearly defined audience  .. homeowners and landlords in your town
  • Profitable customer action  .. that’s why you are in business
But will estate and lettings agents, stuck in their ways, muster the desired courage and develop the strategic know how to find out more about content marketing before its too late?

Why not spend a few hours over the Christmas break and find out for yourself and google “Content Marketing” .

I will get you started ...you might find these videos and resources of interest
Only content marketing has a proven approach to transform estate and lettings agency marketing and messages into something valued by real people, something that will attract attention and engagement, instead of generating loathing, something that will actually work for estate / letting agency brands across all media platforms.
If you would like some real-life examples of good content marketing approaches by UK estate and lettings agents just like you .. drop me a note using your preferred method
