Great first post Chris. It’s refreshing to see someone thinking outside the square about real estate marketing.
There are far too many agents who look at what their competitors are doing & make marketing decisions based on what their competitor does. In any marketplace I’d rather be known as the innovator rather than the imitator.
Whilst being the innovator can be a harder road to take initially, once momentum builds around an effective marketing strategy, the competition will almost find it impossible to catch up & the innovator ends up with a significant USP (Unique Selling Proposition) which means that they can demand a higher fee for their services.
Whereas, the imitators often try to copy the innovators concept & end up trying to provide a similar concept at a cheaper price to compete. But the problem is that the imitators are normally 3 or 4 steps behind the innovator, who is forging ahead with a better, more effective strategy or USP.
In today’s world it’s no longer the big that beats the small, it’s the fast that beats the slow.
Note: Agents you don’t need a big marketing budget like Obama to have a big impact. You just need to think differently about your marketing & how you can use marketing strategies that work more effectively.
