Farm a Neighborhood for $5-$10 a month?
October 2nd, 2009 by Don EagleGood gravy. We heard this one from a REALTOR that looked over the Neighborhood Web Center. He saw it was something that his area of over 20,000 people would use on a regular basis. Merchants, schools, clubs, organizations, residents, buyers and sellers – all using the Neighborhood Web Center. And one REALTOR or a small group of REALTORS would be standing in front of people every day and be seen as one of the Neighborhood Real Estate Experts. And he said that would be worth $5-$10 a month. That is even worse than the ones that say they don’t spend anything.
In what business would you even imagine running and only spending $5-$10 a month to reach thousands or even hundreds of potential clients?
What could you do for $5 or $10 dollars? Shoot, that would only pay for 1/4 of a For sale sign. “Sorry sir, I can’t take your listing because I can’t afford a sign for your house.”
It wouldn’t pay for an ad to market it. It wouldn’t pay for flyers. It wouldn’t pay for postcards to even 20 homes. It wouldn’t pay for open house signs. You could buy a poster board, write on it in marker – HOME FOR SALE- and stand in front of the house every day- yea, that would work.
And what could you spend that $5.00 – $10.00 on to let people know you are in business? I can’t think of a thing.
And what could you spend $5.00-$10.00 on to give buyers and sellers a reason to choose you over the competition? !”
As Dr. Phil would say, “How’s that working for ya?” .
