Is It Time To Club
your Clients while
Building Relationship Capital?
All of us here try to help you
differentiate your e-marketing. We want to inform you about an
exciting service called My Home Owners Club. The Club is a growing
community of homeowners who have access to relevant Homeownership
information and interactive services. The only way homeowners (your
clients and contacts) can get into the Club is to be sponsored by
you.
On a monthly basis My How Owners Club
provides three outgoing communications (you can add your own
content), two “e-Alerts”, and a powerful newsletter. All of
these are tied into customized portal with over 150 pages of
homeowner content. Your picture and branding are embedded
everywhere. All e-coms can be tracked to see who got what, when, and
what was clicked on. Also, a member in your Club can’t be
sponsored by a competitor.
Another defining feature of the Club
is based on the belief that most, if not all your contacts are
homeowners, thus there is no buying and selling information just
Homeownership tips, trends and issues. It is unassuming and offers
many ways for you to enroll “members” via postcards and your web
site. Now you have a reason to ask for the email address!
Stats:
1. According to the National
Association of Realtors, 85% of consumers claim to have been pleased
with their agent at the time of settlement, yet only 11% use the
agent again. (Communication, or lack of, could possibly be a strong
contributing cause).
2. According to The e-Mail Doctor
Survey, 78% of consumers prefer “permission based e-mail” as
their preferred way to be contacted by a real estate agent.
As a result of the above,
MyHomeOwersClub understands My Home does not replace an agent’s
entire traditional marketing client follow-up”, but can touch a
large portion, more efficiently and cost effectively than other
forms of communication.
Quick review…
* Three “e-touches” to an agents
network each month.
* Professionally written, relevant
“home related” content. (No stock information, no “curb appeal”
either). Goal…relationship building, long term.
* Local home sales, school
information, demographics, government offices…each presented each
month.
* Always personally delivered (looks
like coming from YOUR e-mail address)…individually
addressed to each.
* Capable of being geographic, home
style or owner/rental specific (most information is universal, but
My Home Owners Club did have “snow removal” content go out in
Virginia at the same time South Florida members received “hurricane
preparation” techniques).
* Trackable results- each agent can
see who opened, how often and even what their audience viewed. The
REAL VALUE, our editor views Club-wide and can make sure her staff
continues to write about information clients want to read…relevant
information. (In some cases, My Home Owners Club will re-send
something if they believe it’s “that important” but re-tool
the way it’s presented).

professionals who are using Advanced Access' Marketing Tips to their advantage:
"Dear
Kristina,
Justin,
and
the
wonderful
Support
Staff
at
Advanced
Access,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
everything!
This
letter
is
looong
overdue,
as
I
have
been
having
success
as
an
Advanced
Access
customer
since
2001.
I
started
with
a
basic
website,
and
not
only
has
that
been
a
success,
so
has
the
custom
company
website
that
I
built
with
Advanced
Access.
On
top
of
that,
my
agents’
sites
with
you
are
also
flourishing!
Thank
you,
thank
you,
thank
you
Advanced
Access
for
helping
myself,
helping
Metro
Realty,
and
helping
Metro
agents
achieve
website
success!
First
of
all,
Advanced
Access
helped
to
teach
me
how
to
run
and
maintain
a
good
website.
With
my
personal
site, I
would
spend
quite
a
bit
of
time
on
the
phone
with
your
customer
support
learning
the
basics
from
search
engines
to
the
Virtual
Office.
Your
customer
service
reps
were
always
helpful
and
willing
to
go
the
extra
mile
for
me.
This
is
what
made
me
think
of
Advanced
Access
when
it
was
time
to
do
the
company
website!
Building www.MetroEstates.com
was
my
next
project.
I
decided
to
go
for
the
Premium
website
so
that
we
could
make
the
Metro
name
stand
out
–
and
your
site
designer
did
just
that!
All
of
our
websites
together
average
over
50,000
unique
visitors
a
month,
and
I
must
give
thanks
to
Advanced
Access
for
helping
me
to
create
a
beautiful
and
effective
website.
Your
designers
even
created
an
“intranet”
where
Metro
agents
can
login,
get
information,
and
download
forms
that
they
need.
That
sure
saves
me
time
–
I
can
be
in
10
places
at
once.
I
could
not
have
done
it
without
your
great
support
team
and
innovative
Marketing
Tips!
The
thing
I
am
most
thankful
for
is
the
assistance
and
success
you
have
brought
to
our
agents.
As
you
know,
we
work
for
them!
Thank
you
for
creating
a
special
“Metro
template”
for
us,
and
showing
our
agents
how
to
use
it.
Without
your
support
department,
I
would
need
to
hire
one
of
my
own.
Being
able
to
set
up
a
website
for
an
agent
in
just
one
short
week
is
so
helpful
in
starting
them
off
on
the
right
track.
We
currently
have
over
10
Metro
templates,
and
we
just
bought
10
more.
Thanks
Advanced
Access
–
when
it
comes
to
a
Real
Estate
website
on
any
level
-
you’re
the
best!!
Thank
you,
Brad
Coleman
