Boost your Marketing Power with Local Partners One of the features in your website is your Local Partners program. Local Partners allows you to create individual home pages for businesses in your area, or you can link to their personal web site. If the local business has its own website you can add an icon (a small photo that graphically represents who or what they are) along with a short description of the business, and then link straight to their web site. If the business does not have its own web site you can add an icon, a short description, and the program will link to a separate page describing the business and how they can benefit the consumer. The page should list their address, phone number, and will include a contact page that will send them an e-mail. If they do not have an e-mail address, the contact form will go directly to you. You can then pass along the message to the business you are recommending. Local Partners gives you a GREAT opportunity to start networking with the businesses in your neighborhood. Some examples of businesses to be included in your Local Partners page are:
If you are wondering, "Why should I put these local businesses on my web site?" Here's an example how to successfully work with your Local Partners and receive RESULTS - for you and your partner. The Scene: Jenny walks into her local Dry Cleaners.... You: "Hi there, I'm
Jenny, and I come here often to get my family's clothing cleaned. I
really love your shop - and you've always given me wonderful
service." The owner of the Dry Cleaners may not fly a banner over his shop with your personal domain name. But you can see where this is headed. The odds are pretty good that Mr. Store Owner will probably mention his new page to all his family members and tell them to check it out. You can also bet that he might mention it to the customers that walk into his store. Those customers might be looking to buy or sell a home in the near future. We're talking EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE - the name of the game in Internet Marketing. If you already have the Local Partners program on your web site, simply log in to your Virtual Office. Once you get into the program, all you need to do is type in the information Mr. Store Owner gave you. Do you have a scanner? Scan a picture from his brochure to put in his 'special' page. Have a digital camera? Go snap a picture with him waving in front of his store. The more excited you are about the fact Mr. Store Owner is going to have his personal page in your web site, the more he is going to brag about it to his family, friends and customers - people who may want to use YOUR real estate services. These are the special touches that will personalize your website. If you get excited about it, so will everyone else. Networking in this fashion will pay off in the long run with MORE exposure to your website, and MORE chances for advertising your real estate services to the public.

Read the following from real estate professionals who are using Advanced Access' Marketing Tips to their advantage: "I have had several good leads from my website.

Just last week I had another Realtor call me and say they saw my website and were wondering if they could ask me some questions about it as they were interested in getting one themselves. I told them how wonderful it was and what great service you give and before too long we got to talking and she had a customer that is relocating to Sarasota and she is going to refer them to me. I received the paperwork on Friday! Again I am very happy and have told a lot of Realtors in my area about it!" Thank you
