Holiday Marketing For Realtors: 3 Simple Content Marketing Strategies

Real estate agents can take advantage of the holiday season by implementing a few strategies that will not only inspire current homeowners and encourage buyers through their home search, but also attract new clients. Add these unique real estate content holiday marketing strategies into your social media mix to finish off the year strong and start the new year even stronger.

• Offer up some inspiration for current homeowners. Help holiday shoppers make gift-giving decisions by providing ideas in a gift guide for the home. Gifts they can give, and gifts they can put on their own wish-list. The sky’s the limit, so get creative.
• Be the go-to resource for your customers on all the information they’re looking for on trending products. This time of year, people spend more time researching brands and comparing product features than any other time of year. Answer their questions before they have a chance to even ask them. Share informative industry-related articles and position yourself as the expert.
• Feature local services that have great reviews and partner with other nearby small businesses. Partnerships with other businesses will help spread awareness about your own brand to a new audience.
• Reflect the season and remind clients that you’re not just a business. Personalize your social posts with holiday themed virtual tours, optimize marketing materials to be reminiscent of the season and simply remind your audience that you’re a real person who really cares.

Looking Ahead into 2017

Realtors who manage their social media channels effectively and communicate with their target audience year-round have a much more successful impact on consumer behavior. Plus they can positively influence sales. Make a goal to stay consistent with communication efforts, to build a strong relationship with clients throughout the entire year.

So whether your clients are ready to make a move in January or in June, you’re sure to stay top-of-mind throughout their entire home buying journey.
