Establishing An Email List Through Your Social Presence

by Audrey and Frank Serio, CRS

The economics of target marketing relevant information to the consumer is extremely effective and a benefit to any business or brand.  Through the advent and growth of social networks the consumer is already sharing information and engaging with the brands they trust and admire.  Being able to capture these consumers when they are interested and engaged becomes critical to the success of the marketing of the brand.  So, the challenge is, how do brands turn fans and followers into an email subscriber.

 

The answer here is to get the consumer's permission to have direct, targeted, relevant information sent directly to them.  Most consumers would confirm that the best way to get your brands message to them would be by email.  The brand then must maintain a level of engagement to keep the consumer interested.  A good way to think about this is to ask yourself, “If I received this email would I open it?”  A well thought out email campaign is critical to the ongoing relationship being established.

 

Facebook and Tweeter are ideal for converting fans and followers.  With Facebook create a call to action or widget with an opt-in form for the consumer to sign up to receive upcoming messages.  Create contests, give away coupons, free reports and any other information the consumer will find relevant.  Maybe have testimonials on the landing page of other consumers who are pleased with the information. 

 

This can also be accomplished through Twitter by using an abbreviated URL with a catchy description to get followers to click on the link and go to the brand’s landing page.  Tweet about contests, give-aways, exclusive offers, etc.  The consumers are following the brand for a reason and in most cases they will opt to receive what the brand is offering.

 

Very few brands do this and if your message is compelling enough your fans will request more information.  Do the same on your websites and blogs and you will find your email list growing pretty quickly with the most important consumers to your brand.

Bethany Real Estate; The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

by Audrey and Frank Serio, CRS

The Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes fell for the fifth straight month in January with the 10- and 20-city composites each dropping 0.8 percent from December, Standard & Poor’s, which compiles the indices, reported Tuesday morning. The 10-city index slid to its lowest level since May 2003 and the 20-city index dropped to its lowest level since December 2002.

 

Fenwick Island and Bethany real estate was down 4% in total units sold but on the good side the average sales price was up from $728,444 to $984,597 which could be attributed to several higher end homes that had settled.  The average list price of new listings was down 11% from 2010.

 

Across the country home prices fell in 16 of the 19 cities studied with Phoenix, Washington DC and Miami the only that showed improvement.  Since January of 2011 the 10 city S & P index fell 3.9% and the 20 city S & P index fell 3.8%.  Denver, Phoenix and Detroit saw and increase.

 

Real estate prices have also increased in Washington D.C. for seven of the last 10 months.  Hopefully, some of that momentum will help us here in Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island.

 

However, home prices have fallen month after month in Las Vegas for seven straight months and for 15 of the last 16 months. Real estate prices have also dropped for six straight months in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, and Atlanta.  San Francisco has seen the sharpest decline of 2.5% then followed by Atlanta at a 2.1% drop in real estate prices.

 

Atlanta had the overall greatest yearly drop in home prices where home prices were off 14.8% followed by Las Vegas which had a drop of 9% in real estate prices.

 

Since peaking in June 2006, the 10-city S & P index is down 49.1 percent and the 20-city index which peaked one month later is off 48.6 percent.  Bethany real estate did show improvement west of the canal which was up 3% but the average price fell 10% to $300,766.
