Episode notes
Use Candy Dishes To Win Realtors As Repeat Clients
- Do old-school direct marketing: buy dollar-store candy dishes, put business cards around them, and drop them at every real estate office to stand out.
- Realtors who take the card self-select as interested and then refer you to listings and colleagues.
How Constraints Drove Creative Low Cost Marketing
- Constraints fueled creativity: being broke forced Matt and Joni to use low-cost, high-touch marketing that built organic reach.
- Their limited budget led to personal outreach, Facebook friend-building, and relentless local hustling.
Combine Local Facebook Posts Signs And In-Person Outreach
- Do multiple local tactics: post daily in local Facebook groups, sign busy intersections, visit storage facilities, and introduce yourself to movers and maid services to build referral networks.
- Treat business cards like candy and constantly friend local realtors on social to stay top of mind.
