Admin VS Agent User Accounts

Agent Account Overview (associated user account) Each agent / agent team within the office, has an individual account allocated and personalised using their own contact details. Agent Account User - Profile Manager

Admin Account Overview The admin manager‟s account provides a complete overview of information available within all associated user accounts connected to the office admin account, as well as the database and campaign information relating to the office account. Admin Profile Manager The admin profile is designed to represent the office; not an individual user, therefore the account user capture box is laid out differently to that of the agent user account. Information captured is used to automatically personalise communication templates branded to the office, not an individual.

Admin Campaign Overview

The profile manager of each individual or agent team is compiled with the account user‟s personal contact information, as each agent is captured as a separate account user. The individual contact information is used to automatically personalise communication templates created by that account.

Agent Campaign Overview Each account user logged in to their own profile, will only be able to access and view client events and marketing campaign information relating to the database and mail marketing campaigns scheduled within their own account.

Client and User information displayed on the admin campaign overview will be detailed to identify the associated account from which the information is generated from, including that of the office.

Data Share Purpose

The administrator is able to view and edit associated user account information, access user‟s client database as well as compile, proof and schedule mail drops on behalf of associated agent users.

When an agent user cannot access their account and require urgent information, a mail drop to be sent or a scheduled mail drop to be disabled, the administrator will be able to assist by either accessing the agent‟s data through the admin account or logging in as that account user.

Open account information provides the administrator with a complete overview of client and marketing events pertaining to all associated user accounts within the office, in order to track and analyse marketing efforts, provide assistance to agent users within the office or for urgent access and quality control purposes.

When & How Using the E.M.M. Solution Database Management Electronic Marketing revolves around your database of existing, prospect and past clients to whom you should be sending marketing communication. E-Marketing success can only be achieved through maintaining a well rounded database of clients, segmented according to who they are, how and when you met them and what their needs are.

Targeted Communication Market all properties listed to targeted buyers using the pre designed communication templates offered through Targeted Communication. Be sure to copy the sellers on all marketing communication relevant to their property, reinforcing your marketing efforts as their listing agent.

Make your clients feel understood, acknowledged and respected. Knowing your clients enables you to trailer marketing material and corporate communication to their individual needs. Perform targeted mail marketing matching their preferences whilst automatically keeping in touch with your clients on special occasions.

       

Keep your database up to date through maintaining your client‟s contact details, individual preferences & marketing history.

Publish Listings

Update your database on the following occasions:    

After meeting a new client or prospect When a buyer advises of / or update their buying preferences When receiving a new mandate or amending any existing advertising When selling a property, sold either through yourself or the opposition

Marketing Campaign Manager When adding new clients to your database, immediately assign them to the individual automated marketing campaigns you wish them to receive:  Birthday‟s  Christmas (Seasons Greetings)  Valentine‟s Day  Easter  Mother‟s Day  Father‟s Day

Property For Sale Property Just Listed Property Just Sold Price Reduction Show House Invitations Urgent Sale Notifications View By Appointment Properties To Let (Rentals)

Real estate marketing matters that you can broadcast through your email marketing drop may include the following:  Newly acquired listings  Listings placed under contract  Deals recently closed with buyers and sellers

Open Houses You can utilise email marketing to announce show houses, dates and times to prospects and associates. Before Show Days Send show house Invitations to all prospect buyers using the detailed search to allocate targeted recipients. Copy all sellers to reinforce your marketing efforts. It is recommended to send Show house Invitations on Thursday mornings to achieve the highest impact.

14 | P a g e After Show Days Buyers Add newly introduced buyers and their buying preferences received at the show day to your account database. Once a new buyer is listed or an existing buyer updated, capture the property that buyer visited to automatically build up a record of all the properties that buyer has viewed (marketing history).

General Communication Use general communication to introduce and aid client relationship management strategies to your every day marketing methods:

Send relevant “Comparative Market Analysis” regularly

       

Another great help in real estate marketing is a Comparative Market Analysis sent monthly or quarterly to your contacts to help galvanize their interest. It is a great tool in prodding people to follow up on their plans to sell or buy properties.

Agent Introduction – Communication Template

Sellers When capturing the „properties viewed” by buyers, the history of all buyers and their comments will automatically be recorded under the Marketing History on each seller‟s contact screen. Every Monday (after your show day), send each seller a show house feedback report for each property you showed on their behalf containing the feedback received from buyers.

Personalised help In real estate marketing, nothing will inspire trust more than offering somebody free info and help when they need it. You also get the chance to get to know your prospects a lot more closely and have a more personalized connection with them. Avoid being flagged as spam It is very easy for a real estate agent‟s email to be tagged as spam. You have to know which emails are considered acceptable and which are not. Traditional real estate marketing utilises a different style from the regular emails of the marketing world. This technique is called farming. Farming when done through email is already considered spam. Spam or junk email is when bulk emails are sent to many people who would not normally ask to receive them. As an universally unacceptable method of soliciting business, spam should be avoided at all costs.

Agent Introduction Marketing Feedback Report Show House Feedback Report Open Mandate Confirmation Sole Mandate Confirmation Offer to Purchase Press Release Newsletter

When coming into contact with a new client, capture the client into your database and start the conversation by introducing yourself. An agent introduction email template can contain the following information:  Who you are – Agent Profile to tell the client a little more about yourself; like: How long you have been in the industry, why you love property and why you are the perfect agent for them.  Advising what kind of information you will be sending the client.  Thanking the client for providing you with their contact information and choosing you to be their Real Estate Agent, whatever their property requirements.

Database Management – Explained

Automated Database Segmentation

Analysts, experts and others often moan that many marketers still follow the blast approach to email marketing: send the same email to everyone.

Clients Subscribed and Confirmed Client subscribed or manually added and imported.

The alternative is to get into the habit of targeting and segmentation. This is done by sending spesific information to targeted clients within your database. You segment your list (pick out parts of that list that share some common characteristic) and then target them with a specific email.

Clients Unsubscribed Clients unsubscribing themselves from your database via the unsubscribe link, or manually being unsubscribed.

Buyers

Sending unique messages to targeted recipients implies you're sending messages that are more appropriate and relevant to allocated recipients.

Buyers with individual buying preferences. Segmented between:

Duplicate Client Contact Prevention Only one original email address can be captured within the database. When importing or capturing duplicate clients, the system will notify the account user that the client has already been captured, and offer to amend the existing client‟s details. Note: An additional safety feature has been added, preventing a client from being allocated to a mail drop more than once, or allocated if unsubscribed.

When clients interact with your database, automated responses are sent from your user account, customised with your contact information and personalised to the individual client.

Manually capturing clients to your database Clients selecting the subscribe button Clients selecting the unsubscribe button Manually Unsubscribing clients

Never underestimate the unsubscribe link. Although it is what it is – in many cases a lost client – you can reinforce your way of thinking and make the most out of your unsubscribe. You need an unsubscribe link because:     

You want to be polite to your clients You want to comply with the CAN-SPAM act You want to remain in good terms with your past clients You want to keep your list clean mailing list You don‟t want more bad feedback from clients who have left your service

65 | P a g e Opt-In - Permission Email Marketing

Non-Permission Email's - Two Traps

Opt-in" is another name for permission email marketing, but even that has two levels:

1. When you send out email blasts to an opt-out audience, you are sending to email addresses that may no longer exist or block your messages.



"Single opt-in": The recipient gets added automatically to a list after completing a Web opt-in form, making personal contact, emailing a request, etc.



"Double opt-in" or "confirmed opt-in": The recipient requests a subscription, which generates an automated email message to which he must reply or click a link to confirm the subscription and be added to the list.

Evidence has shown that permission-based email lists deliver better results and generate fewer unsubscribe, spam complaints and blocks: Findings from IMT Strategies (2001) reveal the importance of permissionbased over unsolicited emails. Seventy-six percent of consumers will delete an unsolicited email without even reading it, compared to 2% for a permission email. Conversely, only 5% of consumers are eager or curious to read an unsolicited email as opposed to 61% with permission email.

Address churn on a typical email list is 20% to 30% a year on average. So, if a list is two years old, more than half of the addresses likely have gone bad. If you're not the one who collected the addresses, you have no connection with the address owners, and they have no motivation to keep you up to date. 2. Opt-out can get you blacklisted, when sending to undeliverable addresses. Spam-reporting services often create specific email addresses and add them to mailing lists just to see who grabs them up and spasm them. Then, they report those email senders to blacklists or file spam complaints.

What does this mean? As a marketer, it‟s your job to instill and uphold the trust of your audience. It could be through great content, but mostly it‟s through respect. Honor the expectations you set and always yield the option for someone to opt-out. This is the other side of the coin with permission marketing. With a respectful and clever follow-up sequence, you can slowly, but surely collect more details on your prospects and customers and deliver them more personalized and relevant content. With permission-based marketing where the message is specific and relevant to each person, you are able to increase conversions and do it proudly knowing that every person wants to receive your marketing.

Special Communication Template Creation

Let Triway design the template for you You can send us any corporate or graphic design that you would like to use as a communication template, specifying desired customisation, if needed.

Special Communication templates are not designed by the Triway mail builder; they are custom designed templates that are uploaded.

We will then take the design sent by you, resize and edit to fit the required sizes for electronic communication.

Special communication is designed to send your offline marketing material like flyers and brochures to your database electronically – professionally, or create your own “unique‟ communication types like weekly motivations.

As part of the custom designed artwork templates created for your company, a footer design is also created to fit your corporate ID, as used for Automated Communication.

This communication type cannot be predefined as it will be customised to your individual needs, therefore custom designed as and when you require it. However, the special communication‟s mail builder has the facility to apply optional personalisation.

Template Creation Options Design your own You can design a template through your own marketing department using the sizes specified, and then upload it via the Mail Settings Artwork panel under special communication. When designing your own templates you would need to insert the mail message on the template along with your contact details, or leave the space required to apply auto -personalisation through the special communication‟s mail builder. Auto Personalisation Auto personalisation is also applied using the contact information available within the profile manager, for the type and amount of account users captured. The personalisation will always be applied in the bottom right corner, therefore you are required to provide the space for the personalisation to be applied, if you do not personalise the template yourself.

Triway will then apply this footer containing your logo, onto the edited design and upload it to your account mail settings – mail artwork panel. You are then simply able to select the uploaded template when creating your communication drop, and apply the auto personalisation to personalise your design. Allocate your recipient, approve and schedule to send.

Targeted Recipient Allocation - Overview Large amounts of email marketing deemed irrelevant by recipients A new study has shown that many recipients of email marketing consider the messages sent to them from marketing organisations to be irrelevant and uninformative.

Targeted & Relevant Recipient Allocation Detailed Search

According to a study of 2,000 UK consumers conducted by GI Insight, some 53 per cent of email marketing messages are discarded for not being directly relevant to the recipients. The research revealed that 55 per cent of male respondents believed that email messages were commonly off-target, while 50 per cent of the women surveyed said such campaigns were missing the mark. For email to work as an effective medium for both the consumer and organisation, drilling down into customer data and using that obtained insight to become more accurately targeted is crucial. Email marketing which is badly targeted can actually be counterproductive, as it can damage a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x;s reputation and potentially lead to many lost customers. When a consumer receives an email from a brand they have entrusted with their email address, they clearly expect something more than a carpetbomb approach. They don't expect messages that are totally irrelevant to them or redundant. Marketing professionals will now need to ensure they are not sending unwanted messages to recipients, or risk being prosecuted under ANTI SPAM regulations.

Targeted Recipient Allocation - Explained How to search for Targeted Recipients? Allocate targeted recipients by searching for specific clients matching the advertising or communication purpose of the mail being sent. It is crucial to only allocate recipients that will find value in the communication being sent; otherwise you are likely to annoy the client by sending irrelevant content which may cause the client to unsubscribe from the account database.

Detailed Search â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Database Segmentation The detailed search panel is used to search and allocate recipients to all mail drops created and sent through the system. The detailed search has been specially designed to search through your segmented database in order to identify a detailed, targeted group of recipients to match the content of the mail drop created. The detailed search panel is made up by the following search panels, aligned with the client information that should be captured within your database:

Advanced Search

Contact Details Search and allocate specific individuals by searching for the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x;s personal information or contact details. Marketing Details Search for client types via their marketing statuses, by selecting active or past clients along with the client category they are assigned to, or in combination to identify a targeted group of recipients.

The advanced search is specifically designed to drill down to the finer details of the information captured along with client contacts. The advanced search is used to be as specific or as general as required, or in combination with other client details. Using the advanced search panel, search for .specific client preferences and marketing details. Note: When sending out a Show House Invitation Drop, be sure to only search and allocate potential buyers specifically looking to purchase property, matching the criteria being advertised within the mail drop.

Auto Communication Recipients Search for clients by their automated marketing subscriptions, or in combination with other specifications.

Example: Buyers searching within the same area and price range of the property being advertised. Do NOT just assign your entire database to receive the mail, as chances are over 80% of the allocated recipients will find the message irrelevant.
