COMPREHENSIVE MARKETING A comprehensive marketing strategy begins with determining the most likely Buyer for your home.

What features of your home stand out and would draw a specific buyer? Has your home been well maintained? Has your home been remodeled and attractively updated? Is it important for buyers to be near area amenities and recreational opportunities? Is proximity to business centers important? What is the shopping like in the area?

Using Multiple Approaches This may seem like a lot of questions, however, the more we market each of these items and interests, as they relate to your home, the more likely we are to find the right buyer for you.

Buying a home is also an emotional purchase, especially for those of us who choose to retire full time in Florida and leave behind our lifelong homes, family, and friends. Using multifaceted marketing methods reaches people by the topics they value most. A prospective buyer may be willing to select an option they never would have imagined, as long as they are comfortable in the immediate neighborhood and the surrounding community.

The primary goal of using multiple marketing tools and approaches is to reach a broad audience of prospects, and attract your Buyer.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETING - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE Home listing websites are great for advertising homes for sale. For the the home shopper who is specifically searching for "homes for sale", these websites are beneficial. However, this type of prospective buyer already has in mind specific home features and the general city, or zip code, they are searching for.

Home listing websites are, basically, static "facts only" about the home, and limit the ability to provide prospective buyers comprehensive marketing of the community and lifestyle attractions that are most likely to engage home buyers.

These websites are an integral part of the home sales marketing plan.

Social Media sites are where the real marketing advantages are found for selling your home.

FLORIDA MOBILE HOME TOUR VIDEOS AVERAGE 200-500 VIEWS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF POSTING

Social Media sites, such as, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest, allow us to showcase multiple aspects and features of your home, and create a more targeted approach that appeals to the home buyers' personal lifestyle interests.

While most of us think of Social Media as a fun way to keep up with friends and family, these Social Media sites are actually POWERFUL INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES. Florida Mobile Home tour videos on YouTube are currently averaging over 50 views in the first 8 hours of posting, and many are averaging 200-500 views in the first week of posting. This is phenomenal!

SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETING - USING MULTIPLE TOOLS -

SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETING - DOING IT CORRECTLY Each Social Media posting of a home requires information and details that people actually search for.

Home listing posts require: Accurate Descriptions # of Bedrooms # of Baths Overall square footage Spiced with local interests and hobbies Lifestyle, Community Interests and Hobbies posts require: Points of interest Outdoor and Water activities Entertainment Venues Dining options Spiced with home listings So many home sales brokers and sales associates take a "One and Done" approach to their online marketing, meaning a property gets one post on their respective social media sites and it's usually goes something like this: "I just listed this home at 123 Street" with a photo (often not a flattering one), and possibly a link to the listing page for the home.

That's it. That home is lost in a sea of exact same posts on the brokers page. Home listing posts, like this, aren't as effective as they could be.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETING - STANDING OUT By focusing on the unique qualities of each platform and the types of information the respective audiences desire to consume, the greater the opportunity to attract the right home buyers to your home.

The #2 Search Engine - requires quality, edited videos. YouTube is best suited for Community and Local Interests information. Video Home tours should be intermixed with local interests.

The market leader of Social Media.

68% of adults use Facebook.

Facebook is well suited for a mix of video and written posts designed to interest, inform, and educate viewers. Like, Instagram, Facebook is great for highlighting the many features of a home with individually focused post images

With over 1 Billion active users, Instagram is the most visual platform. Instagram audiences tend to enjoy Creative and Inspiring post images.

Pinterest has over 250 million monthly active users, The beauty of Pinterest is the ability to create Home Listing Boards, where not only the home features are highlighted, but the Board includes area points of interest that surround the home.

MARKETING

- BEYOND THE INTERNET -

Ultimately, the BEST method of selling your home will be in person by showing appointments and Open House events.

TIPS FOR SHOWING YOUR HOME Your home should be looking its best when potential buyers view it.

Here are some tips for making sure your home is ready for a showing.

Turn on all the lights, including the outside entrance.

Turn off the TV. Take your pets with you or ask a friend to watch the pets.

Put out fresh flowers, your best towels and a nice tablecloth, if suitable to your decor.

Do not use scented sprays and remember: There’s no substitute for clean.

Empty your kitchen trash, even if it is stored under the kitchen sink.

Keep the beds made in all bedrooms.

Open all draperies and curtains to let in as much natural light as possible.

Pick up stray items – newspapers, empty glasses, etc.

Keep floors swept, mopped and vacuumed.

Dust daily.

It’s best to leave when your sales associate brings a buyer to your home.

This allows the buyer to take his or her time and feel more comfortable asking questions. If you must remain, let your sales associate handle the questions unless you are asked directly.
