Marketing a home has changed dramatically in just a few short years. It wasn’t that long ago that selling a property meant sticking a for-sale sign in the front lawn and taking out an ad in the local paper. Those days have changed!
Real estate marketing isn’t just print advertising anymore – or radio, or TV, or direct mail, or even online, social media, blogs or Twitter. It’s ALL of these marketing tools and more. And it’s critical if you’re thinking about selling your home to select a REALTOR® and a brokerage that understands how to market in the digital age.
When it comes to digital and social media marketing, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage leads the way.
We deploy a comprehensive, cutting edge marketing strategy that capitalizes on all the important new digital channels without forgetting the traditional marketing tools that still work well.
Why is digital marketing so important when it comes time to sell your home? Consider this:
•On an average day there are more than 400 million tweets, 500 million active LinkedIn and Google Plus accounts and 3.2 billion likes and comments on Facebook;
•More than one billion unique users visit YouTube each month;
•Over 6 billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube (that’s almost an hour for every person on Earth);
•Nine in 10 homebuyers today rely on the Internet as one of their primary research sources, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
As the leading brokerage in Northern California, we have been at the forefront of the revolution in real estate marketing, deploying a multi-pronged marketing strategy to reach consumers in the channels they use today – and that’s increasingly online, social media and mobile communications.
While some other real estate brokerages still rely primarily on traditional and limited marketing programs, we understand the vital role that social media and digital sources play in effectively selling a home to modern consumers.
At Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, we like to think about real estate marketing as spokes on a wheel. These various marketing tools, like spokes, may be pointing in all different directions. But they all work together, overlapping, reinforcing each other, and all pointing back to the center of the hub. That hub is our website, CaliforniaMoves.com, and by driving traffic to it, we are also increasing the visibility of your listing.
Earlier this year, we launched a comprehensive new digital marketing initiative which leverages Google advertising, local TV station websites, a wide variety of popular real estate sites, YouTube videos, Facebook, Twitter, and many of the other top-ranked social media sites -– in addition to major print publications.
It’s estimated that this new digital marketing program will attract an additional three million viewers every month and help drive more potential buyers to CaliforniaMoves.com, our Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage website, and again, ultimately to your listing.
Real estate marketing has indeed changed dramatically over the years. So it’s more important than ever to work with a REALTOR® that “gets it” and truly understands how to use a cutting-edge digital marketing program to sell your home.
