Jason Wright brilliantly executed the Name Your Price direct mail campaign.Â
‍
The results?
‍
5000 sends. 500+ QR code scans. 8+ listing appointments.
‍
And here's the thing—he only included a QR code. That's it. (see the example below)
‍
The QR code drove traffic to a custom landing page where the consumer answers 3 quick questions:
‍
1. The price they'd want to list for
2. Their property address
3. Their email and contact info
‍
(He did this via a typeform survey on the landing page that integrates into Follow Up Boss)
‍
Then he followed up immediately.
‍
Marketing—done like this—is magic. 🔥
‍
To create your own QR code, simply build your landing page, add the URL to the Canva template below, and download your design as PDF Print. Watch this video to see exactly how to do it. 👇
‍
If you have a qualified buyer, but nowhere for them to go, that's not a problem—it's an opportunity.
That's exactly what the 2024 Magic Buyer Letter is about.
It's an opportunity for you to go the extra mile for your buyer.
It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.
It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.
‍
As you adapt this campaign to fit your market, your buyer, and your brand, make sure you include:
1. Specific data points about who your buyer is and what they're looking for
2. Social proof to prove that you're great at your job
3. Your personal cell number
4. A direct response CTA in the p.s.
The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.
It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.
‍Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.
But here's the thing...Â
This email is just the beginning.
Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.
This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.
Here's the text. ⬇️
This is a 🔥 social media tactic.
‍
Leverage IG polls or a Facebook post to ask an engaging question, then DM people who respond.
‍
This is a rinse and repeat strategy that you can leverage each week to have more real estate related conversations with people who are connected with you on social media.
‍
Watch the magic unfold when you stop scrolling and start engaging.
S/O to Jason Cassity for executing a brilliant Coming Soon strategy specifically for new construction.
‍
Here's why this campaign works:
‍
1. An "Early Access" angle that provides information to the consumer that they won't find online.
2. He includes a map of where the homes are located in the email.
3. He ends with a casual CTA and offer to schedule a pre-market showing.
‍
Try it out. ⬇️
Vanessa Reilly shared with me an Instagram strategy she's using to start more conversations on social media.
‍
So far, she's engaged with 3 serious buyers from this one tactic.
‍
This should 100% be a go-to tactic for the buyer agents on your team.
‍
Here's how it works:
‍
1. Create an engaging poll question (I'll drop some ideas in the comments)
‍
2. Send a DM to anyone who engages with a soft easy to answer follow-up questions.
‍
That's it!
This is a great tactic by Will Draper.
‍
He asked a simple question on an IG poll—
‍
Who wants a list of all the available new construction homes in El Paso?
‍
Off of this campaign, he generated 41 inbound responses of people saying, "I'm interested in new construction properties."
‍
That's 41 leads they can DM and set an appointment with.
‍
And of those 41 leads, there likely is—at minimum—4-6 listing opportunities in there.
‍
This is how you use Instagram on buy side angles to generate sell side leads.
The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.
It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.‍
Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.
But here's the thing...Â
This email is just the beginning.
Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.
This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.
Here's the IG Poll. ⬇️
Here's how you can generate Instagram Seller Leads using the Zestimate. ⬇️
‍
Step 1: Always take a photo of the Zestimate before you put it in the MLS. This helps you avoid Zillow's fancy algorithm from taking credit for your pricing strategy.
‍
Step 2: When you sell the home above the Zestimate, promote it as an IG story.
‍
Step 3: Create a poll with the question: Is your Zestimate accurate?
‍
Step 4: DM every person who responds to the poll with a CMA offer: Hey [First Name], I noticed that you responded that our Zestimate was wrong. Would it be helpful if I put together a professional home equity for your home? It will be much more accurate than an online tool.
‍
Step 5: Schedule calls to review the results with your prospects.
‍
NOTABLY: If you don't have a good example of a Zestimate, skip step 1 and 2 and go right to step 3.
You’re going to love this strategy.Â
‍
We all know that unsolicited CMAs work.
‍
What you need to do next is take your most marketable CMAs and turn them into IG stories to generate seller leads every week.Â
‍
The process goes like this:
‍
1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.
‍
2. Highlight the most notable one.
‍
3. Create a story on IG.
‍
4. Add the poll. (see example below)Â
‍
5. DM everyone who opts in.
‍
This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.
We like to tell the consumers that selling is easy, fast and simple.Â
‍
This message gets reinforced through postcards that tout results like:Â
‍
“Sold in 3 days” or “Above Ask Price”
‍
This devalues our service.Â
‍
So what’s the alternative?Â
‍
Show the sweat.
‍
This is a postcard my team at Curaytor created for our client, Gretchen Coley.
‍
Here’s what I love about this postcard:Â
‍
- There’s a hook “Even our clients were shocked”Â
- We highlighted the pain the customer was experiencingÂ
- We broke down our strategy (showed the how)Â
- We provided a specific performance metric to help reinforce the story
- We ended with a clear call to action

One of the smartest ways you can use your email marketing tool is to cross-promote your social media posts.
‍
This is one of my favorite strategies implemented by Ray Ellen.
‍
Here's how it works:
‍
1. Find a notable listing in the MLS (or Off-Market).
‍
2. Write a brief post about it on social media with a CTA to DM you if they're interested.
‍
3. Send an email blast to your database LINKING to your social post.Â
‍
This is something you could do SEVERAL times a month to generate inbound opportunities.Â
‍
Ask Ray. It works.
When you have a Coming Soon listing and you hit the 24 hours before it goes live, send this email.
‍
Here's why it works so well:
‍
1. It creates urgency. The goal of the subject line, "Exclusivity ends in 24 hours" is to get as many people to open the email as possible.
‍
2. It piques curiosity. Share some info, but not all the info. Share one photo (the "money shot") but not all the photos.
‍
3. It has a strong CTA. Don't drive them to a website. Get them to call.
This is rarely talked about in the real estate marketing world but one of the best ways to attract high-quality seller leads is by doing high-quality marketing of your current listings.
‍
Prior to the home going on the market, this is the first email you should send.
‍
It's a simple way to add incredible value to both potential buyers and your seller. ⬇️
In his book Viral Loop, Adam L. Penenberg profiles the rise of Hotmail, and tells the story of how it happened.
‍
To help spread the word about Hotmail, they added this line...
‍
"p.s. I Love You. Get a free email at Hotmail.com"Â
‍
That small hook at the end of the message created a hockey stick growth for them.Â
‍
So here's the zen learning…
‍
The people in your database may not be buying today but they know someone who is.Â
‍
More importantly, they can introduce you to a new prospect with the right hook.Â
