Real Estate Agent Marketing: Engaging your clients and building your customer base through branded content.

Your clients are online and you should be talking to them. A social media presence is a requirement in today’s competitive real estate landscape.

The key to a successful online presence is frequently sharing content with your clients that provides them value. The more you keep yourself on the forefront of your clients’ minds, the more likely you are going to connect with them when they are ready for your services or have someone they can refer to you. Make sure you don't fall into the following traps when executing your social media marketing.

Common mistakes made by today's real estate agent in their social media marketing

• They don’t share frequently enoughHow often should you post to your followers? According to Louise Myers it depends on the platform. For Facebook she recommends a target of 3 posts a week at minimum to one post a day being optimal. For Twitter that number increases as your posts have a short shelf life and can be easily missed. Repetition is key to keeping the conversation going.
• They are not sharing the right content Agents need to be posting more than just open house or listing information. While valuable, that type of information is only relevant to a smaller segment of their followers at any given time. HubSpot’s 2015 Social Media Benchmarks Report shows that as a group, Real Estate Agent's have low engagement numbers on their social media posts. This is attributed to missing the mark on posting the type of content their clients want to engage with.
• They don't close the loopHaving your own blog and writing your own content is time consuming so many Agents look for content that they can share from other sites. When a Real Estate agent shares content from another site, they are sending that site traffic without getting anything in return.
