  • Communicate your expertise: Potential clients will get to know your brand and history before engaging directly with you.
  • Work fast: Time is money, especially in business. Correctly designed realtor marketing tools will help your brand be recognized quickly.

Must-Have Real Estate Marketing Materials

There are two types of marketing tools you can implement for real estate branding that win. They can be printed or digital. Both are effective and broadly used in contemporary real estate marketing.

Printed Real Estate Marketing Materials

In a digital world where millions of marketing campaigns are run on the web, old-school print materials are still necessary. They’re tangible and preferred by some customers who like to touch and save information. Here’s a list of the most popular print materials for real estate marketing.

Business Cards

Business cards are among the simplest ways to communicate your real estate business. This material is small and portable, making it easy for clients and customers to follow up. Business cards require a calm design and core business information. Showcase your brand name, contact information, and a QR code. The latter will lead your buyers to your website, where they can take a digital tour and uncover more details.

Real Estate Brochures

Brochures are another old-but-gold real estate marketing material that still attracts consumers. Here you can include imagery, narrative, maps, QR codes, and links. Customers love vibrant and wisely designed brochures. Pay attention to the hierarchy of the information you show in brochures. Accurately choose what you want your clients to see first, second, and third.

Real Estate Postcards

Do you need your business name to reach faraway distances? Postcards are what you need. Print your small real estate materials and send them to a targeted audience such as a specific neighborhood or sphere of influence. Make them presentable by advertising your property listings and services. Don’t forget to leave a QR code or a link to your website for people to take a more in-depth look at your listings.

Real Estate Flyers

Think of getting more concise real estate marketing materials in the form of flyers. As opposed to brochures, this marketing product is a single-page sheet with all the necessary information on it. It’s easier to read a flyer because it has less text and more blank space. Flyers are also cost-effective. They require less printing material than any other marketing products do.

Yard Signs

Promotional yard signs have always been a winner among real estate signs thanks to their refined design and correct placement. You can immediately pique interest in people who are just passing or driving by. Yard signs may work from a long distance if you choose sharp color contrasts and a strategic sequence of information. These are the keys to having a yard sign that truly works.

A-Frame Open House Signs

Do you want more real estate sign solutions? A-frame signs are at your disposal. Versatility is the calling card of this product. Realtor A-frame signs are portable, double-sided, and collapsible. Present your message on both sides of the frame and catch viewers from different angles. Place them wherever you want, with no effort needed. And finally, spread brand awareness with messages professionally written on A-frames.

Window Displays

Finally, window displays create wonderful real estate signs. They take up no space but can speak loudly about your listings. Print your message on window displays and showcase them on large windows. Attract the foot and car traffic to your property deals and win buyers from miles away.

Digital Real Estate Marketing Materials

Digital real estate marketing is what helps you convert hundreds of buyers over a large distance in no time. Digital real estate signs are more versatile than printed ones.

Professional Website

People start their shopping journey on professional websites to gather all they need. A website must include highly informative copy. Before scrambling to market the property listings, make sure you provide everything a customer needs to make a purchase. Use high-resolution photos and interactive elements for smooth website navigation.

Social Media Posts and Ads

Social media marketing targets customers who are familiar and unfamiliar with your work. Media posts and advertisements are the tools that invite new buyers to your website and help previous clients return. Flood Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok with your offerings. It’s where people spend most of their time online.

Email Newsletters

Email marketing is the best way to keep your old and new customers engaged. Email newsletters are less pushy than social media posts. They present new real estate deals, pricing updates, tips, and more. The key to newsletters is to be a bit silent, less nervy, but informative and useful.

High-Quality Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words; an idiom that rings true in life and marketing. Pay strict attention to high-quality imagery when it comes to real estate marketing. Make sure they’re clean, bright, well-arranged, less overwhelming, and informative. A single photo can sell your product faster than any text.

Marketing Videos

Videos are the best way to bring your real estate deals to life, both effectively and fast. Use short videos for social media marketing. Long videos are best when used on websites where people love to learn more about your property listings.

Don’t forget about YouTube. This channel is the best platform to promote educational, advertising, and sales videos.

Blog Posts

Blog posts are another effective way to win consumers’ attention. They can have diverse content, starting from real estate sales to storytelling and educational plots. Stick to simplicity when writing blog posts. People love to read short, clear, and useful texts. Keep the paragraphs short and season them with bright images that explain.

3D Tours

Real estate marketing is poor without 3D tours. A 3D tour is an experience that helps clients explore every angle of the property remotely, without missing a single detail. They’re useful for showing various properties like residential homes, commercial spaces, vacation properties, and more.

Final Thoughts

A successful real estate brand doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built through patience, hard and strategic work, and well-organized marketing. Don’t miss your chance to grab the best from this blog. Build your enterprise step by step, with pride and consistency.

Digital Marketing Tips to Create a Killer Open House

Run a Facebook Live Stream

Imagine a buyer across town sees your listing, loves the layout, the price and the location but can’t make it to your open house. She may flag it for later review or even email you, but, soon, she’s off to the next page view and your listing blurs in with the rest.

Now imagine that same buyer sees the same house on your Facebook Live video. She wants to know how big the master closets are, so you walk her through the master suite in real time on a virtual tour. She books an appointment to see the house in person. After the open house, you post your video on your site for additional engagement, and you get two more offers.

A virtual open house is a game-changer, especially when you factor in weather, compressed sale durations and picky sellers who may be averse to hosting a flood of strangers into their home.
