Event Details
This one-day educational conference has been developed exclusively by Realtors®, for Realtors® who want to grow their business on-line. Mortgage Brokers, Lawyers, Accountants and other real estate professionals and service providers who also desire to better understand how on-line and social media marketing can be used to grow their business will benefit from this conference.
According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors® approximately 85% of home buyers and sellers now start their search on the internet looking for real estate agents and related services to help with the purchase and sale process. We all know firsthand by reading newspapers and magazines and listening to recent news that print advertising spend is trending downward, while on-line advertising is dramatically increasing. The growth of Google is proof. The recent filing by Canwest Communications, the owner of The National Post newspaper, for creditor protection is further proof the transition to on-line marketing is occurring. But, there is great news for the real estate industry. Marketing on-line offers many benefits including the ability to increase the audience who hears your message, while simultaneously deepening the message within a niche market you way wish to own, and all at a much lower cost structure. As an example, advertisements for this conference are a good example. A 1/3 page ad in a leading real estate trade magazine cost in the order of $1,000 while this website cost less than $20.
Knowing how to leverage on-line tools in an appropriate business results focused way is key. The Social Media Marketing Summit has been developed to specifically demonstrate that social media marketing is here to stay, how you can apply learnings to your business, and how and where to get started. This is much more than just a primer event. You will go away with concrete actionable steps you can start applying in your business the next day. As a participant in the event, you will also receive at no additional cost an e-book that is being offered for the first time on tips gathered from real estate experts who are using on-line and social media marketing today in their businesses. These are real people, doing this today. Don’t miss out.
