vflyer listing syndication1 Are you using vFlyer to its full potential?

Everyone (or at least I think everyone) knows the power of listing syndication using Postlets and vFlyer.  By using listing syndication, you are “shot gunning” your properties to real estate websites all over the internet gaining maximum exposure to market your listings at no or minimal cost.

But did you know that with your upgraded account with vFlyer you have the ability to create widgets that can be added to your ActiveRain profile, website and blog to feature your listings?

Are you using these widgets on your online profiles? If you need assistance integrating the vFlyer widgets, let us know. Below are a few samples of the widgets that are available.

Why I Think Postlets R-O-C-K-S!

February 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

postlets listing syndication for real estate Why I Think Postlets R O C K S!I  have used Postlets.com for clients for years – I wonder sometimes if I was one of their first users of their amazing real estate listing syndication product.

The ability for agents to syndicate to their listings to other sites, create a single website and use the other functions available, FOR FREE!, can’t be dismissed.

Postlets is a tool that YOU need in YOUR business today. If you don’t have listings – BORROW THEM! (Seriously, there is someone in your office who would love to sell a property or two….just ask!)

Your social media sites are a click away (but be careful with this feature depending how you have your social media / networking accounts set up).

When you set up your Postlets account, be sure to include Google Analytics code. If you are a stats geek like me you will spend 1/2 the day analyzing your traffic sources.

If you are looking for an effective marketing tool for your real estate business, look no further. It’s easy to use (and did I mention FREE unless you feel the need to upgrade your account).

Postlets vs vFlyer…Which to Use for Your Real Estate Listings?

January 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Real estate agents are always asking me which to use…vFlyer or Postlets. I say BOTH!

Postlets is free and vFlyer has a subscription fee. So for a small fee each month (plus your time to enter your listings into each system) you can get your real estate listings “shot gunned” (syndication) to lots of other real estate sites.

When your broker syndicates to real estate sites, as soon they are in “contingent” or “pending” status, the feed updates the status and your listing will no longer be marketed. If you do  your own syndication, your listing will stay on the internet a little longer and you will be able to generate more leads. (Plus, if you are a Trulia Pro member, you can brand the listing syndication properties long after the broker syndication feed has been removed.)

Both create .html code which can be used to post your listing to Craigslist and Backpage. Unfortunately, a lot of my clients are telling me that their ads using this code are being flagged when their “ugly ads” are not. So, if you are posting and this happens to you – this might be why and you may need to find alternatives for your ads.

Lock up your local market! Introducing Trulia Local Ads

January 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

ARTICLE FROM TRULIA BLOG:


Today we’re excited to announce our new hyper-local advertising platform, Trulia Local Ads. Local Ads completely open up the ad market on Trulia, making it affordable for real estate professionals and businesses of all sizes to own a slice of their local market. What does a slice of your local market look like? It’s an easy way of directly targeting audiences at the city or even ZIP code level, reaching the local customers who matter to you most.

We understand that your local market may be a crowded space. Local Ads make it simple to outshine the competition by grabbing the attention of local buyers and sellers. In each city and ZIP code, there is a limited amount of advertising inventory, so when you lock up a large share of ad space, you lock out your competition. It’s a snap to activate your Local Ads campaigns. Just select a few locations and use sliders to purchase the slice of your local market that meets your budget. Ads targeted by ZIP code will show up on listings pages, while ads targeted by city show up in search results.

We’ve spent a lot of time making Trulia Local Ads campaigns fast and easy to create. When you build your Local Ads campaign, you can select from default ad templates that dynamically update using your Trulia listing data or profile information. These ads are generously larger than competing services and perform 5 times better than the industry average for banner ads. If you’ve previously built your own advertising creative for campaigns elsewhere online, Local Ads allows you to simply upload your own custom image.
