Mobile Messaging for Estate Agents
Keep clients updated – Confirm appointments – Promote properties
SMS is a great communication and marketing tool for Estate Agents. The house selling and buying process is undoubtedly one of the most stressful and unnerving of life events … Good communications throughout the process go a long way to help relieve the strain.
Sending clients and vendors a text update is an easy, simple and cost effective way of keeping in touch and it will be much appreciated by anxious buyers and vendors. SMS is also a great way to send appointment reminders and you could even send a url in the text, which links to a photo of the property, ensuring that viewers feel confident they have found the right house when they get there. If anything changes, either party can send a quick text notification.
123-txt makes all this very simple, you can even choose to send and receive text messages in your familiar email client, the integration is seamless. And once you’ve got a contact in your database, you can market to them for as long as they subscribe.
Short Codes make marketing easy
An SMS short code is a 5/6 digit number that makes sending texts and remembering numbers much easier.
- Display your short code in the agency window, on leaflets, your website and on social media. Use it in combination with set keywords for your customers to request information – ‘Text 3BED to 12345 to receive a list of 3 bedroom properties for sale in the area’, for example.
- Put a short code on your property ‘For Sale’ signs – ‘Text Property25 to 12345’ – When people drive by, they can instantly text and get an automated response with property details and your contact information.
