This plan is for the lead and administrative team, as well as collaborators who may need to understand specific aspects (for example, the expectations of how a blog is written).

Description

Purpose of the Marketing Plan

To grow my business into a team so that I have dependable, scalable income and increased leisure time.

Objectives - What am I measuring?

Background - What have I been doing?

• Previously, marketing was a mix of marketing/service and sales

• Too many “random acts of marketing” were occurring without a holistic plan

• I was losing weaker leads as they are not being nurtured and converted

• I have a clear brand (“people first”) that I can build upon.

Competition - Who is my competition?

My competition comes in a few archetypes:

• “Rob”

  • Has an established neighbourhood presence

  • Skilled and experienced

  • I have to beat this archetype based upon my preparedness and clear system.

• “Tulip Team”

  • Huge marketing budget

  • I have to win on personal service, focus on client, education

  • Will win on systems and level of attention

• “Reyes Group”

  • Young and fun

  • Has some systems

  • Will beat him on organization

Not my Competition

• FSBO’s - (purplebricks, grapevine, comfree)

• Investor Agents (not the same clients as mine)

• Gimmicky agents

Strategies - How do I reach my clients?

I have three main types of clients. Because listings can be leveraged to generate business, my focus should be on Sellers.

• First-time homebuyers

• Move-up buyers

• Sellers

I have several sources where leads tend to come from directly.

• Past Clients

• Repeat Clients

• Sphere of Influence (mine, and those of my team)

• Reddit

• Sign Calls

• Ad-generated clients directly to our team

• Ad-generated clients vetted via ISA

• Past Clients, Repeat Clients and Sphere of Influence

  • Along with Sellers, this is the type of client where I should be expending 75% of my marketing effort. Past clients and SOI are my most valuable connections and create the best quality opportunities at the lowest cost. My SOI is ranked by priority in my CRM. I reach them by:

    • Pop-bys and events

    • Personal Notes

    • Calls

    • Socializing

    • Print Newsletter

    • eNewsletter

• Sellers

  • Sellers are the second-most valuable type of client to market to. A seller with a listing allows me to generate buyer and seller leads and demonstrate credibility by doing (social proof). I reach them by:

    • Social funnel to web

    • Strong conversion plan and sales plan

    • utilize the life cycle of the sale to create many touch points and opportunities for marketing.

• Buyers

  • Buyers are some of the least expensive leads to generate, but often take the most time to convert. I reach them by:

    • Social funnel to web

    • Byproducts of other marketing

    • Open Houses

Strategies - What principles am I basing my strategies on?

• Marketing can build a brand, drive leads or nurture leads.

• I use a hub and spoke model with my website as the hub.

  • This is a weatherproof strategy. I control the site and can adapt to new channels for the spokes as the social landscape changes.

  • By focusing on my blog/video blog at the hub, I can create a unified look for each marketing effort.

• My strategy is multi-channel and video-first.

  • Facebook Profile

  • Facebook Professional Page

  • Facebook Group

  • Twitter

  • Instagram

  • Instagram Stories

  • LinkedIn

  • Email Lists
