  1. Product Positioning “Rezora is the perfect email solution for sophisticated real estate brokerages. It's a winning combination that's making a quantifiable difference on the bottom line at our firm.” Brad Nelson, VP Marketing, SIR Affiliate brokerage

  2. What’s so special about email marketing? • nurturing relationships • brand recognition across digital media channels • last-minute communications • instant feedback • active “push” to all digital media channels (eg your Website) • targeted messaging

  3. And, the experts chime in…. Direct mail represents largest share of marketing budgets, although email may slightly surpass direct mail in the next 12 months. “For companies who sell to B2C customers, e-mail is and will remain the number one channel.” from Direct Marketing Association Study, 2012 90 percent of home buyers searched online during their home buying process. Real Estate-related searches on Google.com grew 253 percent over the past 4 years. Buyers use online tools during different phases of the home search process. Video (YouTube) satisfy buyers’ research needs. Google and National Association of Realtors Collaborative Study, 2012

  4. Drawing a few conclusions…. • Email marketing is a significant channel to support brand recognition and nurturing potential clients. • Popular digital marketing channels such as videos, blogs, social media can all be promoted actively by email, not to mention the all-important website. • So, in other words, not engaging in email marketing is not cool…if you want to remain competitive.

  5. What’s the Situation With E-mail Marketing in Real Estate? Marketing and technology learning curve high among real estate agents resulting in greater demand on marketing resources (typically limited). With marketing department doing most of the work, agents not tied directly to results of digital marketing, limiting results or rendering the work ineffective. This also leads to lost opportunities for agents to nurture potential clients on a consistent basis in the competitive digital world. For agents working on their own, branding and messaging can be diluted or misrepresented, which translates to lost opportunities for clear brand awareness by brokerage.

  6. The “Implied Needs” of Email Marketing by Industry Streamlining email design and “send” processes to decrease marketing department work loads. Increase brokerage brand awareness through a platform that allows for one email send across multiple end-user accounts. Protect branding design and messaging and enable agents to “create” emails that engage users with relevant content. Encourage agents to engage in more email marketing by providing design, relevant content and a less cumbersome end-user experience.
