….. All marketing tactics designed with one goal in mind—to make our agency more visible…. brand awareness for our estate agency – because the more people that know about us .. surely the more people will use us?
But the reason our marketing bombs and doesn’t work is that the potential house sellers and landlords, the ones we want to use our agency are not interested in our need to be seen or sell our agency’s services. Instead, my intuition tells me they are interested by their own need to be seen and understood.
Good news though … because one thing I have learnt over the last few years is it’s simpler to make stuff people want – than it is to make people want stuff.
Read that sentence again .. slowly –
“make stuff people want … than it is to … make people want stuff!”
You see, every agent in your town is trying to shout the loudest and tell people how wonderful they are … just noise …
Yet when you stop trying to shout even louder than everyone else to grab the attention of every man and his dog, something special happens …
….YOU have more time, you have more money and you can put more effort into telling your story by making stuff, writing stuff, creating stuff like videos FOR the people who are ready and willing to hear/read/watch it. (note I use the word FOR them- not you – for them)
So .. instead trying shout about you and your agency .. ask “What does every homeowner and landlord in your town want? … Want from someone who has the finger on the pulse of the local property market?
I know there is one thing local homeowners and local landlords are interested in .. what is happening in the local property market, what is selling, what isn’t, what’s happening to prices, are they going up or down, is it a sellers or buyers market? Are rents going up or down? What are the best properties to buy for buy to let? .. the list goes on.
If you are an agent and not doing this .. what the hell are you doing? This works – I guarantee it and if you dont know where to begin .. Message me (email
