Washington, DC -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/14/2019 -- The holidays provide a singular environment of goodwill for reaching out to clients and prospects, but they also present a uniquely crowded marketing environment. Here are a few tips on getting the most from your holiday marketing campaign.

Connect with Your Local Community

Prospects tend to gravitate to those who share their values. Showing your passion and support for your community over the holidays is a must. Get into the core spirit of giving: Volunteer to help those in need with a community service project like a toy or food drive in partnership with a local shelter. Be transparent about who you are and that, in addition to showing that you care about people in your area, you're also looking to get your name out. There's nothing wrong with bringing real estate marketing materials with you to these events.

Create Holiday-Related Events Online and In Person

Holiday-related contests online can be a fun way to raise awareness. Photo contests and "caption this" and "share this" contests on social media can be great awareness-drivers. You can partner with local businesses to build giveaway gift baskets and cross-marketing opportunities. Tie all this in with in-person events like a combination holiday party and open house to add a festive and fun touch.

Don't Neglect the Traditional Holiday Card

Nothing adds a personal touch to holiday greetings quite like a personalized card. We still do this for friends and relatives, and there's no reason you can't do it for your clients and leads as well. It's a nice, natural and low-pressure reminder that you're there and thinking of them, and it makes them understand their importance and feel a little closer to you.

Washington, DC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/19/2019 -- It never hurts to go back to basics to make sure you're getting the most from your marketing materials. This is particularly true for branding, one of those subjects that almost every agent has heard about so extensively that you might think you have your brand game sewn up . . . even when you don't. One of the most common branding mistakes businesses continue to make to this day is a lack of visual consistency in their marketing.

The most important first step in developing a brand is locking in its look and feel. You can build a website, have profiles on third-party sites and create a presence on multiple social media platforms. But if your choices of font, color and design are different on all these outlets, you're missing out on brand awareness and the money that goes with it. Most people form their impressions of your brand from its visual impression in the first 10 seconds of contact.

You can build your brand's visual identity with a few key steps:

- Pick a signature color. Having a signature color boosts brand recognition by 80%. You can consult a design professional to help; there are even specific color consultants who specialize in color theory and trending.

- Develop adaptable design elements. A logo, a font choice or set of fonts and basic layouts for different types of ads are a must. Here, too, you'll want to work with a design professional if you don't have the necessary training yourself.

- Develop brand guidelines. You may not need a vast, comprehensive stylebook, but it doesn't hurt to develop basic guidelines for what gets used, when.

Once you've designed a visual approach to your brand, you'll be ready to review how you're doing with aspects of brand management like content marketing and targeted outreach. It all starts with the look.

Fairfax, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2019 -- As we enter what promises to be a complicated and challenging year for markets, having an up-to-date game plan for success is more important than ever before. The key is to set achievable goals, break them down into manageable steps and execute them — all without burning yourself out in the process. If that sounds easier said than done, the good news is that many of the major marketing trends in the coming year will ultimately save you time, energy and money.

1. Automate Your Processes

Automation is probably the single biggest labor-saving story that will unfold in real estate in the coming year. With text messaging campaign organizers, automated email drip campaigns that can target specific preferences and chatbots that can gather basic information on your web page and on social media, you can outsource basic marketing tasks in ways that free up time for high-level engagement and lead conversion. Marketing analytics tools can also help with the crucial step of tracking your marketing ROI.

2. Add Value With Your Content

Exposure is important, but adding value with content that authentically reflects your interests and your connections to the local community is the real key to effective marketing and lead generation. If you have "hyper-local" interests — particular bike paths, a picturesque walking tour, favorite small cafes you can cross-promote with — they can make for great website content or social media posts. You can showcase your overall knowledge with informative profiles of neighborhoods you work in. Or you can help prospective buyers and sellers navigate the network of local lenders and state- and municipality-specific regulations.

3. Use the Combination of Formats That Works Best for You

The last few years have seen widespread recognition of the power of video in marketing. Notwithstanding that some social media platforms have since been caught using faulty metrics to measure the usage of video on their platforms, there is still no denying the considerable connective power and immediacy of video. It's a popular choice of successive influencers and marketers for good reason.

That said, the "text versus video" debate is misleading in some ways and tends to downplay some genuine advantages of text for certain customers. There are inevitably some people who will prefer to learn about what you do in text format, for example, which offers them more choice about the pacing of their experience and the chance to easily reread and revisit content that particularly interests them. Video advertising also requires a specific investment of resources, a certain kind of creativity and a willingness to take the necessary steps to ensure your video gets exposure.

This means that when finding the best format for your marketing content, it's important to go beyond "use video for everything" and honestly assess what the most effective combination of text and video will be for your resources and capabilities. Good text is worth more than poorly executed video, and an optimal combination of both is likely to hold more value in the long term.

4. Use Social Media to Build Trust

Some social media platforms may be struggling with issues of public trust and confidence, but social media in general remains a supremely effective way of connecting with prospective leads in an era where most prospects begin their searches for information online. Used truthfully and carefully, social media can help you build a trusted brand by allowing you to regularly communicate your business process, give periodic insight into the quirks of your personality and the specific traits you bring to the table that customers will value, and allow you to provide regular, helpful and informative content that will keep prospective clients coming back for more. The more you build your social media presence, in concert with maintaining a strong website, the more reach and impact your marketing will have.

About Commission Express

Fairfax, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2018 -- One hallmark of a successful real estate agent is genuinely caring about and getting involved in their local community. Giving back and helping to support worthy causes is a great way to showcase the values that underlie your business and, most of all, to simply feel good about what you do.

There are several current causes well worth supporting and getting involved with:

- Giveback Homes (https://givebackhomes.com/) is a community of real estate pros who work with charity partners across the United States and elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere, helping to build or repair homes for families in need. Giveback is an effective and high-profile charity operation that generates concrete results and has a great deal of wisdom to offer on how to make philanthropy, humanitarian causes and social responsibility an integral part of your brand.

- Real Estate for Rehabilitation (http://realestateforrehabilitation.com/) confronts the critical issue of addiction in partnership with the Salvation Army, supporting no-cost live-in programs for people in recovery from a substance abuse disorder. The charity provides excellent media and promotion packs that include custom cards and brochures with a unified visual brand. The program is solidly supported by one of the oldest and most established charitable organizations in the world.

- Charitable Agents (https://www.charitableagents.com/) streamlines the donation process by allowing participating agents to donate 10 percent of their commissions to selected charities. The program supports over three dozen partner charities, including the United Way, Kiva, Planned Parenthood and more.

The above is just a selection of the many possibilities available, examples of why the holiday season is a great time to consider starting a charitable relationship that will boost your branding and community involvement year-round.
