Ray White is a marketing machine at its very essence. We don’t build houses, we market them. We know it works. We are essentially playing a contact sport and need to get in contact with as many buyers as we can quickly to secure you a sale at the best possible price. Creation competition is our end game. Our agents ability to create competition for your property is what will ultimately drive the premium price. As listing numbers rise, so too does competition and marketing matters as it can elevate your property above others. Each of our sales and marketing professionals will tailor a marketing campaign to suit your property. There are a wide variety of platforms available for you to ensure every buyer has a chance of seeing your property, they include: • Signboards - your 24 hour a day sales agent. Designed to capture the attention of locals who may be considering their next purchase or may know someone who is looking to buy into the area. • Database marketing is an essential element to ensure that your agent can market your property to all buyers who have previously made contact with their agency. • Online property marketing portals - REA’s realestate.com.au and domain.com.au dominate the online property space and you should consider being on both platforms. • Social media - ask your agent to post across their personal and office accounts. • Paid social media - Be Seen is a targeted Facebook marketing tactic that has been developed for Ray White which allows for a cost effective way of targeting buyers currently in the real estate cycle. • Print media - advertising in your local paper is still a great way to get in front of your local community. Your buyer is probably already living in your neighbourhood and actively in buying-mode by looking at the paper. • DLs and letterbox drops are designed to capture your local buyer or a neighbour who may know someone who is looking to purchase in the area. • Professional photography, floor plan and videos are a must in 2020. Genuine buyers will start their emotional connection to a property from their first impressions. • Possibly use a PR strategy as you can’t put a price on the power of this media coverage for your sale. So effective is this publicity in generating buyer interest. It’s so credible. 15
