Text Messaging in the Real Estate industry has really shown some great results. There are many different ways to use text message marketing, and it can be applied to nearly any industry out there. The reason text messaging does so well in real estate specifically, is because this industry is notoriously one of the more tech savvy ones. The real estate industry welcomes new technology and new forms of media when it comes to marketing. Making the sale is always important, but the competitive nature of realtors brings this technology to a whole new level. Text Messaging provides Real Estate professionals with the right tool to aid their business in marketing, selling, and tracking those numbers. SMS allows realtors to manage clients and potential buyers effectively.
The cell phone has really turned out to be a magical device. Allowing the user not only to communicate in multiple ways – but also to research, map, photograph or even purchase, right in the palm of their hand. The smartphone has completely changed the game for the real estate professional. They are able to build exposure and create a brand in just a few simple clicks. Connecting with prospective buyers and sellers is important – but building a relationship with these people will build their trust, and this is where the most effort needs to take place.
Consumers love their mobile phones for many reasons, but the one thing they love the most about it – is having the ability to text. Even those who don’t yet own a smartphone are capable of using this simple technology. This type of marketing doesn’t leave anyone behind in the dust, and that is what makes it so powerful. People love to have information instantly, and through the use of sign rider, realtors are able to give prospective buyers that instant gratification they seek. “Text 123MAIN to 96000 for more information.” The buyer can text-in, and view pictures, learn property details, asking price, and even take a virtual tour. There are great possibilities here. A few brief sentences can have quite an impact, plus this doesn’t mean that information is limited. Within the basic limit of 160 characters, the realtor can include links to images or video. This also provides the opportunity for the realtor to create a mobile business card, and include that as a link for the prospective buyer to click on. Mobile business cards are great. They can give the interested buyer more detailed information about you, the realtor. Maybe a personal touch – such as a little history about you – can be quite effective. Include a friendly photograph, and of course, your contact information. This can even be set up so that the person can add you to their contacts with just a simple tap.
