Filed under: MLS, Photos, Technology/Business Products — dana @ 1:07 pm

Tis’ the season to update your listing photos!

With the possiblity that your listings may stay on the market longer, you make have to take a 2nd glace at your original photos. Why? Because after awhile listing photos tend to appear outdated, and most buyers like to look at photos that reflect the current look and feel of the property.

At MLSLI, we recommend your listing photos reflect the current season. It only takes a few mintures to snap fresh photos, and your sellers will truly appreciate the extra effort you put into selling their home.

And, if you want to put all those nice propery photos to another good use, try display them in a Digital Photo Frame! It’s a great way to bring your photos with you and display them at an open house, a listing presentaion, or the main lobby of your office. There are plenty of innovate ways to display your listing photos, it’s worth the effort.

Will Text Messaging Replace E-Mail?

Filed under: MLS, Technology/Business Products — dana @ 5:09 pm

I’m sure you’ve heard me say and write about this before, Gen Y is a massive segment of the poplutaion that will be your future buyers and sellers! They are tech-savvy, I’ll say it again…they are tech-savvy! Not only are they tech-savvy (I said it again), but, as their Realtor, they also expect you to be tech-savvy too. They use e-mail, but they like to text message as well!

Mobile Marketing is a convenient way to stay in touch with your prospects and clients through Text Messaging. You can “text” valuable information on a individual basis or mass scale. You can alert all your prospects about an open house, or you can send out a simple, “How are you?” to an indvidual client. Any which way you slice it, text messaging is cheap, easy, and works instantly - faster than e-mail! That’s what tech-savvy buyers, sellers, and successful Realtors want.

I think that mobile marketing is going to gain momentum and eventually compete with e-mail as a way to communicate with your future buyers and sellers. What do you think?

Want to Learn How Mobile Marketing Works?

Starting Jan, MLSLI will be conducting a Mobile Marketing Campaign! If you want to be a part of this NEW program, e-mail me at dnowick@mlsli.com. You must include your name, member #, and your cell phone number.

Through text messaging, we will send you valuable information, such as new product and service offers, tech seminar reminders, and technology updates. These messages will be short, sweet, and to the point, and will keep you up-to-date with information that you need to know. It’s also a great way to get familiar with mobile marketing so that you too can begin to utilitze this tool with your clients.

You can opt out at anytime. And, NO, we will not bombard you every day with text messages that contain information of no importance.
