Casual Articles - Fundamentals of Real Estate Marketing
Your daily grind has lost its groove. Your career is just a job that provides a paycheck. You dream of making a living doing what you most love, yet your thoughts are swiftly put to rest with the reasons you can’t: you need more education, training or experience, you can’t afford to pursue your ideal career or it’s not the right time.Obstacles have as much p
Think of it this way. Best practices will put you ahead of 75% of your competition. Testing will help you surpass the other 25%.
Fundamentals of honesty
If you say “free,” it better be free — with no strings attached. If you say “number one real estate company on the east coast” ... you better be number one in some legitimate way.

Branding and marketing is a huge field with many devoted fans and as many reluctant participants. One thing for sure, in branding and marketing--things sure have changed. One of the things most dramatically altering the face of branding and marketing is blogging.A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. (Technorati) And, according
Fundamentals of research
Effective marketing demands thorough research, the more of it the better. In fact, I would rank research in the top-three factors of successful marketing.
Before you can write a brochure to inform your audience ... before you can write an advertisement to persuade your audience ... before you can write Web content to educate your audience ... you have to know everything about your audience.
You have to know what their days are like, how they define success, what they worry about. Everything. Only then can you begin to communicate to them effectively.
Fundamentals of focus
In marketing and communications, seduction lurks around every corner. New ideas emerge during a prolonged campaign. Distractions and side doors present themselves. “This is old,” you might think. “I need to shake things up a little.”
Focus and consistency bring benefits over the long haul, but it takes patience. An ad-testing program, for example, could take several months to start producing valuable insight. It takes steady measurement. It takes long-term vision. It takes focus.
Fundamentals of testing
Eugene Schwartz, author of Breakthrough Advertising, said it best: “There are no answers in direct mail except test answers. You don’t know whether something will work until you test it. And you cannot predict test results based on past experience.”
What he meant was, you can take an offer that has worked for somebody else in your industry, apply it to your audience, and have it flop.
Sure, there are “best practices” you can start with. And you can learn a lot from the successes and failures of other marketers. But to get the best possible ROI on your marketing investment, there is no substitute for testing.
Think of it this way. Best practices will put you ahead of 75% of your competition. Testing will help you surpass the other 25%.

I was recently reading a Harvard Business School case study on Starbucks. Being one of the few people who do not drink coffee, I am not the most frequent Starbucks customer. But, the wireless internet access and Chantico drinking chocolate have gotten me in there regularly. But I digress ...The study talked about many facets of the success of Starbucks. The

I can hear the jokes already and most of them are not politically correct. Let me throw out a word that we often don't attach to work and yet I think it is a word of redemption, of contribution, of achievement, of community, and ultimately, of legacy.Here it is: LOVE.Kahil Gibran proclaimed, "Work is love made visible". I would further clarify his posit

Many people truly love what they do. They’re living, loving, learning, growing and making a profit while doing it. There is so much excitement and joy that comes with that kind of success. Even the thought of casually making five and six-figure income through a labor-of-love, generates motivation and passion that I may not have felt otherwise.If I’m going to

So you put your cash, ego and pride on the line and started your dream business. You have the business strategy that will make you rich. All you need is the cash to take your business to the next level. Your plan is to look for funding from venture capital firms (VCs) or angel investor groups. Not so fast.VCs and angel groups are like the movie stars of the

Deceit and trickery only work the first time around.
Fundamentals of enthusiasm
Have you ever read an ad, article or website and found yourself thinking, “Boy, this writer doesn't even care.”?
If your designer, copywriter, webmaster — or anyone else involved with your marketing — lacks enthusiasm for a particular project, the project has already failed.
A wise marketing manager knows this and will take the necessary steps to inspire his or her team. All this being said, it always helps to have a superior or service. But that's another topic entirely.
