Greetings for your During the holiday season it's more important than ever to keep in touch with your clients and prospects. Have you begun your holiday marketing campaign? Get a jump on your competition when sending out holiday cards to your farm area and sphere of influence. Whether you are sending your greetings via snail mail or e-mail, it's nice to acknowledge the season with a colorful holiday greeting (and a GREAT opportunity to market yourself.) If you haven't yet started, be sure to capture the attention of prospective clients by planning and sending your campaigns very soon. Be sure to that YOUR holiday greeting cards stand out from the crowd! The more unique your message is, the more likely it will be opened by your clients and prospects. Attract their attention with bright colors and flashy designs. Your greeting cards can be much more effective if they offer more than just salutations. When sending a postcard, be sure to include action items for prospects to visit your website for free reports, community info, and the latest updated property listings. If it applies in your state, why not offer a contest or drawing pertaining to something in your local area. Don't just greet... offer something of value! This might also be a good time to remind prospective Sellers that there are some unique advantages to selling their home during the holidays. During the holiday season they can show their home at its very best, with greenery, twinkling lights and seasonal charm. If you were already planning to send out a seasonal card, remember there are many other opportunities to send out greetings during the other holidays throughout the year. December may be the "primary" season; however, other occasions during the year are a good time to remind customers of your existence and to give them a helpful real estate market update. Here is a very important question: is your website ready for the holiday season? Does your voicemail greeting say 'Happy Holidays'? (When checking your voicemail message, be sure your website is mentioned as a GREAT source for local information, listings and more!) Now is the time to make a list, and check it twice. All of us at Advanced Access wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season. Drive safely. =)

Read the following from real estate professionals who are using Advanced Access' Marketing Tips to their advantage: "Although I have had a Realtor.com site for some time now, no one knows who I am, nor do they care. Since obtaining my site with Advanced Access, I have a "name brand." Without this website, I think my name branding would not be a successful as it is. I have incorporated many advertising medians to make sure I "stand out" and above the rest. My mailings, business cards, and vehicle are only a few. I incorporate TV and radio advertising as well. However, all of this is simply another name. With the website, people recognize who I am and visit my site often. They like the content and information available. Most importantly, they like the fact that my listing are available to preview on-line. I have gotten great leads from my site in only the short time I have been on-line. Many other Agents are asking about my site and are being referred to Advanced Access. I'm very fortunate and happy with the success of my site and look forward to the months and years ahead." Sincerely, Patti Emmerling a.k.a. Fire Girl "Since having my website with Advance Access our response has been more then I could have imagine.
