During one year Our office put the time and the effort to analyse, what a full investment campaign in each sector of the marketing was most succesful, envoiromental friendly cost effective per call and closing transaction.

The results that I will expose to all of you may be a confirmation of you feeling or a surprise.

1-Referal from Freinds family or cologues.

2- Sign

3-Web site

4-Email Blast/Spam

5-BNI- Trade meetings

6-Direct mailling

The TV, radio, magazines could be helpfull for a well implemented marketing campaign but to costly, time consuming and very frustating dealing with the people in these trades.

If your target young, retirees,first time buyers, wealthy, investors etc.

I do not have any doubts that each one of us like one way to market over others that the other ones and the resolt may change from one market to other very unique.

My conclusion is the old fashion way of the sign in the front of the property and referals are the best with the new tech web/ internet being in a small company allows me to compete with large comanies in the same level.

Thanks, Joe, for sharing that information, which I know took precious time to decipher. Before my company was a franchise, we were just a local company, dealing mainly with our friends, relatives and their referrals. I don't know what took me in the direction of all of the advertising that I wasted my money on in the last 4 years, but now that I am not doing it any longer, I see that referrals, sign calls and the internet are MOST of the business.
I, for one, am going to spend some time developing the hundreds of buyers and sellers we have worked with in the past 4 years. We were so busy at times, that we blew off a lot of people who we should have paid more attention to.
Is anyone out there having success with 'opt-in' drip emails? I am going to give www.CityTwist.Com a try. (Albert Michaels is who I worked with) They have 'opt-in' email lists all over the country. I just purchased a 10,000 email campaign to Gilbert, Arizona, where I am based. It will be fun to see if it brings any business. I think this is something you have to do pretty regularly to work well. If people DO go to your website and you can capture their email, then you have a new customer to develop over time. With 'virus' campaigns that they will forward to THEIR friends and relatives, it could mushroom nicely.
Again, Joe, thanks for the info.

Our Company did a research last year about the origin of the leads and cost effective .

Great statistics. Overwhelming, for us, the best source of business is past customer and clients, as we all know takes time. We've had the time. Over 30 years. Now it's 60-70% past business, 26-27% internet generated, the rest very spread apart.

Our consensus, do it right, with the golden rule, and it comes back to be a very positive situation.

My best,

I no longer advertise in the Real Estate section of the paper.  My ads are in the Front or Business sections.  Response to those ads has been huge!  I only advertise on OPEN HOUSE weekends.
