How Does Adwerx Help Me Grow My Business?
Listings advertising is one of the most powerful ways agents can communicate their expertise. They demonstrate their localized geographic knowledge, success as an agent, and savvy as a marketer.
Advertising your listings with Adwerx is like having a magical yard sign. Magic because instead of requiring people to live near the listing or drive by the sign to see it, it pops up in front of potential buyers as soon as they start their home search. With all listings automatically advertised, agents maximize their exposure to people important to their business. The ads serve as a powerful digital complement to traditional marketing. That’s why Adwerx is already automating listing advertising for over 25% of the Swanepoel Mega 1000 brokerages.
Adwerx also serves as a powerful differentiator in listing presentations. In 2020, sellers expect that their agents will understand how to advertise their listing online. With Adwerx, agents can confidently tell sellers that they’ll marketing their home on the web and social media using behavioral and geographical targeting. On top of that they can provide them updates on performance. Most agents are aware that a large part of marketing is done to satisfy sellers.
Impact of Entering the Seller’s Email Address Into Your Adwerx Ad Campaign:
After seeing the positive results of automated listing advertising in their study, T3 Sixty dove deeper into their data to better understand how the Adwerx platform contributed to agents’ improved productivity. They discovered that engagement with the Adwerx platform was a significant factor. Comparing agents who received Adwerx Automated Listing Ads, those who entered their sellers’ email addresses in their campaigns had an improved listing count to those who didn’t.
It all comes down to seller satisfaction and referrals. According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2019 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, “client referrals and repeat business were the predominant ways sellers found their real estate agent”. When the email is entered in an agent’s listing ad campaign, the seller then receives performance reports on their ads and are included into the campaign so they see their own home advertised online – a phenomenon Adwerx refers to as “the magic moment”. Seeing the results of their agent’s marketing, boosts confidence in their agent’s efforts and ability, which can lead to increased seller satisfaction and higher rate of referrals.
