HELPFUL HINTS

Advertise Your Website, Optimize Your Results!

Your newly designed website needs exposure, and lots of it. Here are some tips on how to promote your site:
  • Ensure your new website address (URL) is included on all your promotional and advertising materials such as: business cards, brochures, feature sheets, signage, letters, drip emails, greeting cards, newspaper/magazine, outdoor and direct mail ads.
  • Email your past, present and prospective clients with a link to your new Real Estate website, so they can take a look at current Real Estate information and have access to your new contact information.
  • Use your website's built-in email marketing system to contact clients. Create drip marketing campaigns to establish or maintain contact with clients. Try sending articles, newsletters and important information updates.
  • Include your website address on your voice mail greetings and email signatures. Include a short introduction such as: "To see the latest Real Estate information and properties for sale in the GTA, visit my website at www.yourwebsite.com."
  • Consider InCom Real Estate's search engine optimization services to further expose your website online.
  • Use social networking platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter to expand your network, expose your brand and showcase your listings.
