3 Ways to Enhance Your Brand as a REALTOR®
LOUISIANA REALTORS • April 18, 2017
Just do it. I’m loving it. What’s in your wallet? Nike, McDonald’s, and Capital One have this branding thing down. Whether you need new shoes, lunch, or a credit card, these major brands have created a way to stay at the top of your mind whether you are in the market for them or not. As a REALTOR® you can do the same thing; and in today’s technology driven and social media focused world, it’s never been more important.
Now you don’t necessarily need a clever slogan or catchy jingle to brand yourself; however, you do need to have the ability to be found. Roughly 75% of a REALTOR’S® business comes from referrals or word-of-mouth. When you make it easier for existing clients to share your information, and you make it easier for potential clients to contact you, you’ve enhanced your brand. Here are 3 tips to achieve exactly that.
1.) Embrace mobile:
Mobile is becoming a major part of everyone’s life. Access to communication and information is literally at anyone’s fingertips. This means that any and all of your digital efforts need to reflect this trend. Responsive websites, mobile optimized emails, and of course staying available for clients as you are out and about.
2.) Use content to become a thought leader:
3.) Be Social:
