Social media is a great way to market your business, but it can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Here are some of our top tips for using Social Media for estate agents.
Blog regularly
Blogging is a great way to engage with your audience and build trust, relationships and authority in your industry. By consistently sharing valuable content on your blog, you can establish yourself as an expert in the field.
It’s essential that you don’t just post once every few weeks or months but rather publish regular updates (at least once per week) so that people are aware of what’s happening with your business or agency.
Focus on one or two platforms
When it comes to Digital Marketing for estate agents it’s tempting to spread yourself too thin, but don’t. You won’t be able to do everything well and probably end up wasting time on platforms that aren’t really for your business.
Instead of trying to be everywhere at once, focus on the platforms where you can make an impact and set up a strategy for each platform. For example, if you want to get involved in Instagram but don’t have much time then use automation software like Hootsuite or Buffer which will schedule posts for you so they go out when they’re most likely to have the biggest impact (like when people are most active online).
Use hashtags
If you want to increase the visibility of your posts and engage with the community, hashtags are a great way to do it.
- Increase visibility: The more people see what you post, the more likely it is that someone will click through to your website or contact page. Hashtags help make sure that those who don’t follow you personally can still find out about your business.
- Engage with the community: If you use hashtags in a relevant manner, then other users may feel inclined to respond and engage with your content. For example, if an estate agent posted about their new sales office opening up on Twitter using #estateagent #newoffice #openingday in their tweet, this could be seen by anyone interested in estate agents or property management companies. This would give them an opportunity to interact directly with potential clients via social media which no longer relies upon cold calling or cold emailing which can often be ignored due to being perceived as spammy by recipients who are constantly bombarded by marketing messages every day anyway!
- Increase engagement: Sharing links containing relevant information related to real estate such as property prices increase engagement within groups because members may want answers about certain properties before investing their time searching for themselves rather than waiting until later when they have time available after work hours.
Keep an eye on your competitors
Social media is a great way to market your business, but it’s also an opportunity to learn from your competitors.
There are two things you can do here:
- Monitor their social media activity and see what they are posting, and what they’re not posting. Are there any themes that appear over and over again? Could you use the same content for your own page?
- When you find something that works well on another agent’s page, consider sharing it with your own followers as long as it doesn’t seem too staged or promotional-looking (for example, don’t just retweet something from one of their posts unless it’s something relevant to you).
Engage with existing customers and followers
To engage with your existing customers and followers, you need to make sure that you are responding to comments and questions. This will help build trust with your audience. You should also use social media to share relevant content that relates to your business or the industry in general. When posting this kind of content, it’s a good idea to give people an incentive (for instance, offering a discount code) so they’ll want to engage with it. By doing this, they’ll be more likely to follow you on social media and become loyal customers who are interested in your services.
In addition, when engaging with new followers or customers through social media platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn, make sure that their questions get answered promptly! Don’t forget: any interaction could lead someone down the path toward purchasing a home – so don’t leave them hanging!
On a final note
If you’re looking to better engage with your audience on social media, these tips should be able to help get you started. Remember that every business is different and there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to using social media for business purposes. Take what works for you and leave the rest behind!
