Whacky Real Estate Marketing Ideas
How about some bookmark love? ::
Some may call them scams, some may call the ploys, but here are some whacky, albeit creative Real Estate Marketing ideas.
A while ago, I admitted to some other agents in my office that I was toying with the idea of creating a jingle to encorporate into my Real Estate podcast. I have to say that I did catch flak over it, but I also expected that I would. Say what you will, but no one says that Real Estate marketing has to be boring. Just ask the agents who boldly used COLOR in their newspaper print advertising. Bold indeed.
Speaking of Bold, how about if you buy a Realtor's house for him?
Damion Flynn Offers to have you buy his house for him through donations of course. I only wished that I had thought of the idea first. I just need 3.8 million friendly citizens and fans of this website to contribute a dollar. Put another way, if everyone in Chicago simply contributed, I'd be happy to pay tribute for their effort and generoisity by moving right to the beach.
It is not like the internet rejects such marketing tactics, it is just that you may need to offer more entertainment coupled with less begging. An interesting example in (non-Real Estate) marketing is Weffriddles this is a site which is a collection of pages that each host a different riddle. When you guess the answer incorrectly, you suddenly see the designer's affiliate marketing campaign presented under the guise of a 404 error page. Say what you will, but riddles are sticky and they are entertaining.
Speaking of sticky, Magnets USA will put just about anything you want into magnet form.
Maybe my open houses should be more entertaining. I'm pretty sure that "the Price is Right" could somehow be adapted to Real Estate.
