While it seems like everything slows down during winter, our ideas dont have to and neither do our sales. What can we, as Realtors, do to keep things moving along?

Heating Up Your Real Estate Business During Winter

When youre inside, so is everyone else and that means its the perfect time to push your business to the next level of social media power. If you dont have a Facebook page or a Twitter account designed to help you sell homes, its a great time to start exploring your options. Dont forget to make sure your blog has plenty of fresh content, too.

The Power of the After-Holidays Card

After the holidays, when were all picking up stray pieces of tinsel and putting away the fine china for next year, what happens to all of the cards we got from well-wishers?

If youre like most people, you put yours in a box of keepsakes or into another box one with a bag in it beneath the kitchen sink.

When will you get such an influx of cards again? Probably next year, around this time. Any cards you receive between now and then will be a surprise and youre going to be more likely to pay close attention. That means once the holidays are over, sending cards to your past clients is a fantastic way to connect. Scrawl out a nice, personal note and tell them you hope they had a wonderful holiday. Drop your business card inside (preferably two of them) so that they know they can still get in touch with you.

Another great point: seeing a cheerful message from you in the middle of the stack of credit card bills is a wonderful way to make checking the mail a little less painful for your past clients.

Start a New Marketing Campaign

We all know that direct mail is so popular because it works, but spending big on such an iffy proposition gives us all the chills. Start thinking about how you can start a new direct mail campaign without making a huge dent in your budget.
