[CLASS] What the BLOG is Going On?

Ever wonder what the BLOG is going on?  Yeah, you're in good company with a lot of other real estate agents.  But it's not as scary, as difficult, or as confusing as you may think.  (And it's DEFINITELY not pointless like I hear some say it is!)

Luxury Real Estate Marketing: Where for art thou?

So today I was helping one of my real estate clients with their online marketing. He's a luxury market specialist in the Paradise Valley and Scottsdale areas. He's been a top producer in real estate since 1991, so this guy knows his way around the industry. For the past couple of decades, he's built a solid and rewarding business all based on referral. Now it's time to take it online.

I'm not going to go into all of the cool things we're setting up to get his marketing systems working together.  Nor will I tell you what platforms we're using, or any of my super secret real estate marketing tips that will make this agent shine online!

"Why not?" you're wondering.  You may have arrived at this post hoping for that exact knowledge!

Email Tips: What's in YOUR Signature?

Your signature line in your email is one of your most valuable marketing opportunities, and there are a lot of ways to convey the important business information that people need in order to connect with you.

Too often, I see professionals use .jpg images as their email signatures.  While they may look fantastic on your computer, they often don't translate well to cell phones and other mobile devices.

Here's the thing: 75% of people in the US use email on their smart phone. (Source: Nielsen's Mobile Consumer Report - Feb. 2013) So if you're email signature isn't translating to mobile, that's a HUGE miss!

We Love Old Town Scottsdale - Realtor Marketing Video

I'm always asked about video marketing for Real Estate.  What are the best tips and tricks?  How long should the video be?  Etc, etc, etc.
