Just like #PurpleBricks, #Yopa agents appearing on Twitter…

It is an impressive amount of regional agents that PurpleBricks boasts already, many follow us and just about most will have updates on a regular basis compared to many other estate agencies.

Certainly would agree that social media is the place to be if you want to start increasing your local brand awareness and the way PurpleBricks present themselves, especially on Twitter, looks very impressive and engaging (which is what millions of pounds of marketing bugets allows you do to I suppose)!
