Step Your Real Estate Game Up With Snapchat
Are you a social-minded real estate agent looking for an easy way to stay in touch with your audience and build new relationships? Perhaps you've been working on your video content development skills, or looking for opportunities to expand your real estate marketing in new, engaging ways? Snapchat is an awesome tool for REALTORS®, because it allows you to build your social influence, share your real estate expertise, create compelling content, and earn new business. Our team is here to help you get started with a guide to Snapchat for real estate marketing.
How to Step Up Your Marketing with Snapchat
One of the most important things to remember about Snapchat is that success takes practice, and there's no better time to get started than today. You'll find that many of the tactics you use on other social sites also work well with Snapchat, and that the service is always adding new features to improve the user experience. Building a dedicated Snapchat following will take effort, but it's also a fun way to market your business once you nail down the basics.
- Practice Filming
Snapchat is a very visual medium, and you're going to be doing a lot of filming to communicate with your audience. The good news is that you don't need fancy equipment, but you will want to practice filming with your smart phone or other mobile device. One tip: Look into the camera, not your phone's screen, to give the appearance of eye contact with your audience. - Create Content
Snapchat users are an active, engaged bunch, so the best way to start building connections is to start producing content. You don't need perfect production values, but you will want to make sure that you offer something interesting and valuable to your audience. Providing an "insider" perspective of your real estate career is a great way to build your audience. - Be Educational
Some of the best Snapchat content comes in the form of educational videos, focused on tips for buying/selling homes, home improvement ideas, neighborhood guides, and anything else that allows you to show your expertise while offering value to your audience. Don't be afraid to experiment, or to ask your audience what they would like to see. - But Don't Forget to Have Fun
At first, it may feel like it's a bit difficult to stand out with your Snapchat presence, because so many other agents are trying to do the same. That's why authenticity—and a willingness to have some fun—are so important to Snapchat success. There is certainly nothing wrong with having a laugh, or showing your personality. - Learn from Others
Snapchat is a social community, so you can also learn quite a bit by connecting with other agents or with interesting accounts that are unrelated to the real estate world. Watch their videos, ask questions, and learn from what they have to offer. - Engagement Is Crucial
Even if you do everything else right, it still takes engagement to make real estate marketing work on Snapchat. Reach out, engage, ask questions, and encourage your audience to do the same. Make a habit of engaging every day, in addition to posting content on a regular schedule.
