Without a strong digital marketing strategy, you could miss potential leads. Even a few minor real estate marketing mistakes can have a major impact on your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five mistakes to avoid when developing your marketing plan. Applying these tips can help you boost sales without stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create an effective marketing strategy with these tips today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Not Setting Brand Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating brand guidelines can help you develop a cohesive online experience as people begin finding your real estate business online. Your brand guidelines include your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Mission statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vision statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo styles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Color palette<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Font styles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Values<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintain a consistent brand across all marketing channels. In time, homebuyers will start recognizing your real estate firm online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, your business could fade into the background. There are over&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes419022.htm\">175,900 real estate agents<\/a>&nbsp;in the US. Without an eye-catching,&nbsp;<em>distinct<\/em>&nbsp;brand, your business won&#8217;t stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Neglecting Social Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media marketing is an effective way to engage potential clients in real time. However, many real estate agents&nbsp;<em>avoid<\/em>&nbsp;social media marketing. If it feels daunting, start slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research your target audience and determine which platforms they use most. Start with one before expanding to other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save time, you can reformat your website blog posts for social media. Try engaging your audience with live Q&amp;A sessions or walkthrough tours. Virtual tours can help you attract more clients to your listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to invest in professional&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ignitecreativeco.com\/services\/photography-videography\/real-estate-photography\/\">real estate photography<\/a>&nbsp;as part of your social media marketing strategy. Professional photos will help your listings stand out on any platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Never Updating Your Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An outdated website could cost you leads. Update your website to make sure it&#8217;s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile-optimized<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User-friendly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An engaging real estate website can help you show off your listings. Don&#8217;t forget to feature your real estate photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your website fresh by sharing new listings and blog posts throughout the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Avoiding SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engine optimization (SEO) will help your real estate website content rank higher on search engines. As people search for nearby listings, your website could appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimizing your blog posts can help you generate more website traffic and leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop an effective real estate SEO strategy, consider working with an agency this year. They can help you apply all four types of SEO: on-page, off-page, local, and technical. As part of your local SEO strategy, make sure to claim and optimize your Google Business listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Not Hiring an Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing your marketing plan alone could cause you to make additional mistakes. Instead, consider partnering with an experienced digital marketing agency this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With help, you can develop an omnichannel marketing strategy, allowing you to expand your reach online!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Mistakes: Use Effective Real Estate Marketing Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid these real estate marketing mistakes if you want to grow your business.
