Until recently, we really couldn’t see the benefits of engaging online. We thought that our website, together with word-of-mouth was enough. I wouldn’t say we were completely wrong, let’s just say that in a relatively short space of time we’ve seen enough benefit to make it worth our while and we’re aware that we’ve barely scratched the surface.
We started with a fresh new website to help drive business, rather than our original static site. This attracted new clients almost immediately which made us think that perhaps we were missing a trick in the social media arena. We took the plunge just a few weeks ago and like the website, our efforts have already paid off with two really good editorial opportunities as a direct result from ‘tweeting’ and some tangible profile raising. Still at the novice stage we recognise we have a lot to learn, but most importantly we now understand that online marketing (with an emphasis on social media) can be incredibly powerful.
Think about it, can you really afford not to engage in some level of social media activity?
The Letting Centre is hosting a FREE social media workshop on Wednesday 7th December 2011, 8.45am – 11.45noon at East Point, Clarendon Business Centre, Littlemore, Oxford aimed at IFAs and Mortgage Advisors and we’d be delighted to see you there. To ensure that all our guests gain the maximum benefit from taking part we are offering just 10 places, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Further details will be issued by 11th November, for now we’d be grateful if you could advise by email claire@thelettingcentre.com if you’re able and would like to attend.
We feel confident that you’ll get a lot out of this workshop and really hope you can make it.
