Active Community: Email Marketing is Back

August 6, 2010

At Inman Real Estate Connect SF, one of the sessions touched on the importance of email marketing for your business. While many see this as an outdated form of communication – there is actually a lot of value that can be derived from an email campaign. With technology evolving constantly, what is popular today might be old news tomorrow. However, email marketing is a constant in this ever-changing landscape. Apart from all other activities on the web, the most used by all is still email.

So we need to use this to our advantage. Buying or selling a home does not happen overnight. Many of our customers will spend several months researching and looking at homes before they’re willing to make a commitment, while other customers may not quite be ready to buy a home, but know within the next year they will be. Communicating with our customers on a regular basis lets them know we’re here when they’re ready to begin the process.

Replace the word “relationship” with “business” and the statement remains true.
