Neighbourhood Marketing Boost

We’ve been hearing from agents that farming a neighbourhood takes a lot of time and resources and the results aren’t instant. This is true. You’re starting to build a relationship with complete strangers therefore it’s going to take a while.

Remember to have a call to action on all elements and direct prospects from one element to another to build your success. For example, the mailed piece mentions the website, the website links to the e-newsletter, the e-newsletter asks if they’ve found your bus bench, the bench asks them to call you…
