| TIP # 1
What Makes A Successful Website?
|
A deep,
consumer-oriented Web site must be your #1 marketing tool today. Why?
Because 84% of today's consumers go first to the Web to look for
properties to buy or agents to sell their home.
Yet only about 10% of today's agents have a site that makes them money!
We spend an
entire module on effective Web sites during the CRS 206 class, but for now
remember the 5 top characteristics of a money-making Web site:
- Effective,
uncluttered design and easy to navigate
- Complete consumer information
-
Your
listings are showcased effectively (virtual or video tours,area tours, "click for more information" link, in-depth property descriptions, map link for each listing, downloadable property documents, etc.)
- At least 8 to 20 "contact me for more information" links throughout your site
- Extensive area information: remember...people buy an area first, then a house?
Most agents fall
short on all of these crucial elements.
Take a moment to look at your site from the standpoint of the consumer
and see how it stands up. Again, we will
go in-depth during the CRS 206 course.... nothing to sell, just on-target, objective
information complete with examples from some of the most profitable agent sites
in real estate today.
The above tech
tip comes from Allen F. Hainge, CRS, instructor for our upcoming CRS 206
course beginning on Thursday, February 26. The CRS 206 covers all aspects of marketing with today's technology so
that you can build your business, no matter what the market. No "techie talk," no selling, just concrete
information, strategies and examples on how to use today's technology to reach
today's consumer.
