Less talking and more text messages is the way of the world:
Texting isn't going away, and it's spreading across all of the age groups. There are very few people out there who don't have a text plan, with the majority paying for unlimited texting. It's a fact that every car driving by your listings has at least one cell phone in it with text messaging capability. And, they'll use it to get more info on your listing ... if you let them.
Start with the sign rider and the property number:
When you've set up to use the Home2Cell service, you order sign riders or lawn signs with a number to text into, and a number to identify the specific property. The buyer prospect is sitting in front of the home, texts in the property ID, and they get back a fast text of the property basic details, such as bedrooms, baths and features.
A link to a property listing page on the web is included:
The text they receive also includes a URL link to a web page with your complete listing details, a video, map, and multiple images, as well as your contact information. That is also in the text message. So, they can call you right then if there's interest. Or, if they have a web-enabled phone, they can take the link and view the details and images. All this while they're in front of the home.
You also get a text with their information:
When the prospect texts for the property information, you get a text with their cell phone number and the property address they're texting about. You're in a position to give them a call while they're in front of the home and their interest level is highest.
This service also syndicates your listing to other portals and networks:
Part of the service is syndication of your listing information to multiple real estate sites and networks. It's a bonus, as the real value is in the information exchange at the listing site.
An affordable service that won't break the bank:
There are a number of plans with decreasing monthly pricing based on the number of listings. However, if you have six of them, you'd pay about $1.66/month each. There is also a 3 month free trial. Sign riders are under $6 each, so your investment in a six month listing is about $16.
Ignoring technology will only cut your lead generation:
We're all looking at our marketing budgets, trying to spend our money where it will do the most good. And, there's definitely not enough to do everything we'd like. Between websites, blogs, SEO gurus, PPC costs and our phones and computers, our technology expenses are right near or at the top of the expense list.
So, it's nice to find a solution now and then that isn't priced to break the bank. I've profiled other listing text solutions, and don't remember any this affordable. Give Home2Cell a look to see if it's what you need for your listings.
