The Power of Consistent Marketing
In the competitive world of real estate, agents often find themselves making a common mistake known as “throwing spaghetti at the wall.” This approach involves trying various marketing techniques once or twice and hoping something will work. However, this haphazard strategy is not only time-consuming, expensive, and largely ineffective, but it can also be discouraging. To truly succeed in the real estate industry, agents need to adopt a different mindset—one that emphasizes the importance of consistency in their marketing efforts.
Why is consistency important?
Imagine two individuals aiming to achieve and maintain fitness. One sporadically visits the gym, experimenting with random exercises and machines. The other follows a structured training routine, faithfully attending the gym three days a week, every week. The latter is far more likely to achieve their fitness goals. Similarly, consistency is paramount when it comes to real estate marketing. By implementing reliable marketing systems that generate referrals and leads and maintaining their consistent execution, agents can create a sense of certainty in their marketing endeavours, even during downturns.
How do we establish a marketing program?
To build a solid, lead-generating business, you must develop a robust marketing program. Think of it as a well-designed blueprint that guides their marketing efforts. An effective marketing program combines different channels such as real estate direct mail, email marketing, and social media, all aimed at establishing regular contact with prospects and clients. By implementing this program, agents significantly increase their chances of consistently attracting leads and referrals. Furthermore, even during challenging times, they can maintain a steady flow of opportunities.
Merely attempting sporadic marketing techniques and hoping for the best is not the path to success in the real estate industry. Agents need to shift their focus towards implementing proven marketing programs that genuinely strengthen their business with greater certainty. Instead of relying on short-lived tactics, investing time and effort into developing and executing a well-thought-out marketing program will yield more sustainable results.
Bottom line folks, success relies on more than just luck. Today’s agents must recognize the importance of consistency in their marketing efforts.
Good luck!
