Real Estate Conversational Marketing

November 14th, 2007  |  Published in Social Marketing  |  1 Comment

write imageFor real estate professionals seeking to distinguish themselves amongst their competitive peers, the opportunity to engage in these conversation markets can prove to result in fruitful dividends. Due in part to the reach, social networking can allow realtors to pinpoint their relevant information for those custom tailored searches done by adept visitors. This will inform these visitors your own willingness to engage in these burgeoning approaches, while also improving your credibility amongst other search engines.
Social Networks like Facebook are about breaking down barriers to engage in conversations.

Conversational marketing is an integrated approach that seeks to engage groups of people through strategic initiatives that attempt to push messages, shape impressions, or align with markets through new social channels.It’s the difference between leveraging an opportunity because you can bring value to the discussion vs. selling an opportunity simply because you can capitalize on it. By experimenting with new forms of media, can actually change marketing from a business of bullying and deception, to a genuine form of respectable and valued sense of service and personalization.If there is one thing that we can learn about social/conversational media is that people and the markets they represent have rallied against one dimensional approaches and have demanded personalization, transparency, and sincerity.

Gone are the days of talking “to” people and controlling the message from company to influencer to audience. Now companies are forced to let go as “audiences” have given way to the very people we chose to leapfrog for the greater good of mass marketing.Brands have become democratized. Audiences have evolved into factions of people linked together by common interests. Control is lost and now is now firmly placed among, and cultivated by, the people. There is no audience in conversations. Nor is there an audience for any other form on social Media. Each venue comprises of groups of people and they each come to the table with a different recipe of experiences, preferences, dislikes, and prejudices all wrapped in a blanket of skepticism and hope.But whether companies agree or not, the fact is that conversations are taking place with or without them, no matter how many ads they run, key words they buy, or press releases they push out over the wires.

We’re witnessing the shift from B2B (business to business) or B2C (business to consumer) to P2P (peer to peer) marketing – or better described as conversations between people.Ultimately, the shifts within social/conversational marketing ultimately impact and benefit brand resonance, loyalty, and therefore, fuel the philosophy that markets are also conversations.

    I definitely think the breaking down of the barriers with P2P marketing is the big difference. It just feels more personal. I think we all know what it feels like to call up some business we work with and be put on hold. Or to cold call someone and get abruptly hung up on. I don’t particularly like either of those experiences.

    But with Social Networks there is a feeling we all belong. Both sides have a vested interest in helping each other. Maybe not in always securing deals, but at least in listening and maybe even in providing useful feedback. From my experience with social network marketing or contacting, at least I end up with a positive experience.

    Social Networks are a positive for me and as illustrated by their growing popularity, I think many others would agree!
