Lead-generating content to grow your real estate business
Email newsletters are still the most effective marketing method you can employ to generate listings. Why? They are high leverage. You can contact thousands of people in a matter of minutes. Email newsletters are also low-cost, and super time efficient. You can find time to send an email newsletter even when your schedule fills up and your other prospecting activities fall by the wayside.
The challenge with email newsletters has always been, how do you come up with the content?
Agent Monday provides you with informative articles for buyers and sellers that are easy to digest (500 - 800 words) and designed to work in any market.
These are white-label articles. Which means you can take them and use them as your own.
Send them to your database and/or post them online to grow your position as THE go-to expert in your area, while also driving appraisal and listing enquiries.
