How can YOU help your homes stand out and get noticed?<br /><br />Here are five easy steps you can take to improve your listings' curb appeal. (Do these first two with your seller because it up to them to follow through to improve the look of their home).     <br /><br />   1. Stand across the street and take a good look at the house. Take a couple of photos and review them to see what pops out.  With your seller, answer these questions: <br /><br />  A. What do you notice first when you look at the house and yard?<br />Write down a list of both the positive and the negative features.<br /><br />  B. What can be done in order to enhance the positive features and minimize or improve the negative features? <br /><br />  2. Next, park where a potential buyer would and walk towards the front door.  Ask the same questions as above and add them to your list. <br /><br />This same process should be done again at night.  Don't forget that in today's market, buyers will take their time and revisit a house many times weighing the pluses and minuses of their favorite homes before buying.<br /><br />Although the sellers must invest the time, energy and money needed to upgrade their homes' curb appeal, don't overlook the things you can do with your marketing to make a strong first impression.<br /><br />  3. Before you place your sign out, ask yourself, "Does my sign compliment or detract from the homes' curb appeal? What image does my sign project?"<br /><br />We have all seen old, bent frames, empty brochure boxes and falling signs that just look awful.  Don't let this happen to you.  Take pride in your signs because they are your most visible selling tool.  If they look bad, so do you.  YOU and your listing need to make a strong first impression.  We designed our sign frames to help you easily upgrade your look, drawing more attention to your listing and to YOU. <br /><br />  4. Take your time when shooting photos for your listing. Think about the time of day, sun angle and framing. Take lots of photos so you can choose the best. Overcast days often are best because you don't have to worry about shadows. Remember that the first photo on your website will be the front of the home, so this needs to be your best.  If you need to come back at a different time of day to capture a better photo, do it. <br /><br />  5. As with all advertising, it is the open sentence that sets the tone. Make sure your headline description is inviting. Spend some time on the descriptive part for your listing.  Have another agent read over your write-up before you submit it.  A little extra effort can improve your outcome. <br /><br />There will be 5,000,000 homes sold this year and that means there are 5,000,000 buyers! How many of your listings are going to be on this list of SOLD homes?  Stop looking at things you can't control (i.e. will the bail-out help; will interest rates go lower; when will we hit bottom) and start looking at things you can control like your listings' curb appeal.  YOU ONLY GET ONE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION!<br /> <br /></font><div style="text-align: center;"><font size="4"><img height="437" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.35" width="520" alt="before and after frame" src="http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs072/1101906614626/img/35.jpg?a=1102405892990" /></font><br /></div><font size="4"> <br /><br /></font></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-image:url(http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/news_bustech_lcol1.gif);background-color:#067065;padding:0;" bgcolor="#067065" background="http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/news_bustech_lcol1.gif" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left"> <table style="width:180px;" border="0" width="180" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left"> <a name="LETTER.BLOCK3" /><table style="margin-bottom:10px;" border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK3"> <tr> <td style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;" styleclass="style_FeatureTitle" rowspan="1" align="center" colspan="1"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><font size="4">Our NEW <br />Elite Dual Post <br />Sign Frame<br /></font> </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="color:#567A26;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;" styleclass="style_MainText" rowspan="1" align="center" colspan="1"><font color="#567A26" size="2" face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color:#567A26;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><img height="200" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.36" width="131" alt="before and after frame" src="http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs072/1101906614626/img/36.jpg?a=1102405892990"><br /> <br /> </img></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="color:#7DC8BD;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;" styleclass="style_FeatureText" rowspan="1" align="center" colspan="1"><font color="#7DC8BD" size="2" face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color:#7DC8BD;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="4">Let us help YOU transform your sign into an eye-catching selling tool.

The basics to differentiating yourself are to be "different". <br /><br />Here are 5 easy steps to differentiating yourself:<br />1. Make sure you have a formal branding plan and stick with those elements in all of your advertising and marketing. You should have a set of colors, font type, tag line/slogan, photo/headshot that yo u use in all of your marketing. Consistency and repetition is critical to increasing your "name recognition" within your market.<br /><br />2. Focus on a niche within your market and become a specialist. Whether it is vacation homes, starter homes, retirement communities, uptown/downtown, luxury, or condos.... focus on that niche and make it part of your brand. This will also help with your referral business from other agents because you will be known as the specialist.  <br /><br />3. Include one of your "interests" into all of your marketing. This might be associated with your hobby (fishing, golfing, gardening) or other interest (art, music, food,) and it needs to be something you are passionate about because it is going to be part of your overall image.  Let's say you love golf, then maybe include a background of a putting green on your business card, letterhead, website, etc and come up with a creative tag line "Let Bob make your next purchase a hole in one". Or if you love gardening or food, include tips about either in all your correspondence (cooking tips, new restaurant reviews, etc.), on your website and on the back of your business cards. By including a personal element, you are differentiating yourself. <br /><br />4. Better utilize your most visible marketing tool more effectively. Don't ignore or "go cheap" when designing your signs. Since more people (both buyers and prospective sellers) see this marketing tool than any other form of your advertising, it is critically important for you to make a dramatic first and repetitive impression.  Use flags, custom riders and upscale Lincoln Lawn Frames to increase your signs' visibility. Incorporate your branding element in your main or rider signs. Make a strong impression with your signs because you often only have one opportunity to attract a buyer into your listing.  <br /><br />5. Look to gain exposure through volunteering within some organization (rotary club, school committee, country club committee, environmental club) or non-profit board (Big brothers/Big sisters, American Cancer Society). Not only is it good to volunteer but you will gain personal contacts and that's one of the most important parts of real estate.... building personal contacts.  <br /><br />So lets review how different you are...<br />* You are now an expert in a niche within your local market,<br />* You have included one of your passions into your business image, <br />* You have a set of branding elements you are utilizing in all of your marketing,<br />* You have joined some local organization where you are doing good and building personal relationships,<br />* You are upgrading the look of your signs to project a more personal and upscale image that clients will remember!<br /><br /><font style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);" size="5">Now go out and make an IMPACT!</font><br /></font><font style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" size="4"><br /></font><img style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.26" alt="frame with flag" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs072/1101906614626/img/26.jpg?a=1102216379547"><br /><br /><font size="4"><br /></font></img></font></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left"> <table style="margin-bottom:10px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK16"> <tr> <td style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" styleclass="style_MainText" rowspan="1" align="left" colspan="1"> <div><font size="4">Our growing success at Lincoln lawn Frames comes from leading agents and brokers who understand marketing and that making a dramatic first impression is critical to attract more buyers.<br /><br />As a business owner myself, I am only satisfied if our frames are helping YOUR bottom line.  It is nice to have an attractive, good looking sign but if it is not helping you SELL MORE HOMES, it is not worth the investment.

As proof, Realtor Magazine (8/1/07) stated that 63% of homeowners responding to a National Association of Realtors Survey said they used information from a lawn sign to help in their home search. This is a higher percentage than those who relied on print ads, open houses or home magazines when seeking homes. <br /><br />The entire point of your sign is to attract positive attention to the property you are listing. Your sign is also  critical for advertisi</font><font style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" size="4">ng your agency as well as your name (if you don't include your name on your sign, you are missing a key branding opportunity).<br /><br />Nike, Coke or Apple would pay millions to have the opportunity most agents take for granted. No other industry is able to publicly post its marketing message for free. Other businesses would pay up to $1,000 per sign for this chance. Why? Because better exposure equals greater sales.<br /><br /></font><img style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.26" alt="frame with flag" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs072/1101906614626/img/26.jpg?a=1102117881130"><br /><br /><font style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" size="4">In today's information-saturated marketpla</font><font style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" size="4">ce, successful marketers have learned</font><font style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);" size="4"> how </font><font size="4"><span style="color: rgb(6, 112, 101);">to stand out from the crowd, or risk losing market share.</span><br /></font></img></font></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#014745;" bgcolor="#014745" valign="top" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="2" align="left"> <table style="background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK14"> <tr> <td style="color:#067065;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:8pt;" styleclass="style_FinePrintText" rowspan="1" align="center" colspan="1"><font color="#067065" size="1" face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color:#067065;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <font size="4">Your signs give you the opportunity to communicate directly to your target market. Yet most agents ignore this gold mine and even worse, allow their signs to fall down and look crooked, rusty, and unprofessional. Is that the best representation of your name? By upgrading something already available to you, which has a proven pull, you could be delivering better results for a fraction of the money.  <br /><br />So how to start? <br /><br />1) Begin by treating your sign as a valuable and critical part of your <br />marketing efforts. This means making sure your sign is installed with care and that you or your staff periodically checks to make sure all your signs look professional.</font><font size="4">2) Brand yourself.  Each one of your signs represents an opportunity to gain additional listings. Prominently display your name along with your agency name and logo.</font><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font size="4">3) As an extension of your professional, successful image, be sure your signs are clean, unbroken and chip-free. Don't buy the cheapest sign available. It's certain to be the first to fall into disrepair. Upgrade the version or material. Include more colors as another affordable way to make your sign stand out. By projecting a more upscale, professional appearance and customizing your look, you can turn your standard lawn sign into a targeted marketing tool that delivers a clear message to your key market.</font><br /></div><font size="4"><br /></font><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><font size="4">4) If you include a brochure box, make sure your client has extra flyers to "refill" that box when empty, avoiding missed opportunities.</font><br /><br /><font size="4">5) Include specific listing information.  Add custom rider signs noting valuable details and unique features, such as "pool, one-acre lot, excellent school district, walk to train." This is an opportunity to increase interest in each of your properties. At the very least, you should include your web address so that passersby can view more about the listing online, along with additional information about you as the listing agent. This is an economical service that shows your client you are committed to selling their home. <br /><br /></font><font size="4">6) Now that your sign looks good and includes more information, consider adding a Lincoln Lawn Frames which quickly upgrades the look as well as increase the visibility of your sign.  Our Frames will help attract more Buyer as well as satisfy more Sellers.  These outer frames also allow for additional riders, helping to maximize each listing and brand yourself.<br /><br /></font><font size="4">7) When you hold an open house, add flags or balloons to your sign a couple of days ahead to generate more traffic.</font><br /><br /><font size="4">8) Maybe add lighting onto your sign? This is a great way to draw more attention to your listing, especially during the fall and winter months when it turns dark earlier. (Lincoln Lawn Frames now offers add-on Listing Lights that simply attach to the top of our frames).</font><br /><br /><font size="4">Your lawn sign is the ultimate tool for delivering a highly coveted form of advertising. Be proud of your signs-- treat them with the respect and value they deserve. You can stand above your competition simply by upgrading the look of your existing signs and revamping your image.</font><br /><br /><font size="4">                                               ###</font><br /></div><font size="4"><font size="5"><a track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=kjrqvncab.0.0.clgbmhcab.0&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lincolnlawnframes.com%2F&id=preview" linktype="undefined" target="_blank">LincolnLawnFrames.com</a></font></font> </font></td> </tr> </table><table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK15"> <tr> <td style="color:#067065;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:8pt;" styleclass="style_FinePrintText" rowspan="1" align="center" colspan="1"><font color="#067065" size="1" face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color:#067065;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"> <span><img border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.13" alt="3 combo" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs072/1101906614626/img/13.jpg?a=1102117881130"><br /></img></span> </font></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div align="center" style="background-color:#ffffff;padding-top:10px;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <div style="font-weight:bold;font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;padding-bottom:10px;"><font style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;" color="#000000" size="1" face="verdana,arial"><a href="http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?m=1101906614626&ea=jeff@lincolnlawnframes.com&a=1102117881130&id=preview&id=preview" target="_blank">Forward email</a></font></div> <table style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;width:600;background-color:#ffffff;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><font style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;" color="#000000" size="1" face="verdana,arial"> <a shape="rect" href="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?p=un&v=001oO3WPVQi2L0f3DMD73WmkUE-O_gnq9qIGGkQhEffXiilA-S3URfA6y1DtjGQkkeeghD2Xxy6Oj3bCc2SFdlMkrL_SQ6A6MAIiWANAv9y8uz23cEXvNpHD1C6ble_jrCJ&id=preview.1101906614626&id=preview" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Safe Unsubscribe" src="http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/safe_unsubscribe_logo.gif" /></a> <div>This email was sent to jeff@lincolnlawnframes.com, by <a style="color:#0000ff;" shape="rect" href="mailto:jeff@lincolnlawnframes.com" target="_blank">jeff@lincolnlawnframes.com</a></div> <div><a style="color:#0000ff;" shape="rect" href="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?p=oo&v=001oO3WPVQi2L0f3DMD73WmkUE-O_gnq9qIGGkQhEffXiilA-S3URfA6y1DtjGQkkeeghD2Xxy6Oj3bCc2SFdlMkrL_SQ6A6MAIiWANAv9y8uz23cEXvNpHD1C6ble_jrCJ&id=preview.1101906614626&id=preview" target="_blank">Update Profile/Email Address</a> | Instant removal with <a style="color:#0000ff;" shape="rect" href="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?p=un&v=001oO3WPVQi2L0f3DMD73WmkUE-O_gnq9qIGGkQhEffXiilA-S3URfA6y1DtjGQkkeeghD2Xxy6Oj3bCc2SFdlMkrL_SQ6A6MAIiWANAv9y8uz23cEXvNpHD1C6ble_jrCJ&id=preview.1101906614626&id=preview" target="_blank">SafeUnsubscribe</a>™ | <a style="color:#0000ff;" shape="rect" href="http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp?id=preview&id=preview" target="_blank">Privacy Policy</a>.</div> </font></td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><font style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;" color="#000000" size="1" face="verdana,arial"> <div style="word-wrap:normal;color:#666666;padding-bottom:5px;"><a style="text-decoration:none;color:#666666;" shape="rect" href="http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=TEM_News_202&id=preview" target="_blank">Email Marketing</a> by</div><a shape="rect" href="http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=TEM_News_202&id=preview" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/cc-logo-color-sm.gif" /></a> </font></td> </tr> </table> <div style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;padding-top: 20px;" align="left" id="LETTER.PHYSICALADDRESS"><font style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;" color="#000000" size="1" face="verdana,arial">lincoln lawn frames | 1950 Old Cuthbert Road, Suite I | Cherry Hill | NJ | 08034</font></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div>

Real estate marketing slogans can work equally well online and offline, but they must be good enough to appeal to mass, targeted audiences.<img src="http://www.lincolnlawnframes.com/images/welcome.jpg" width="237" height="160" align="left" /></p> <p>Consequently, agents work hard and long for the right words to coin the right phrases, for the perfect slogans. After all, their slogans may be powerful or aspiring enough to define their careers.</p> <p>Realtor Alert! Real estate marketing slogans don't have to be over intellectualized to create huge "brand names." Catchy and clever works every time.</p> <p>For example, Century 21, ERA, & Coldwell Banker are national and/or regional real estate companies whose corporate names serve as their "real estate marketing slogans". Examples of some gigantic, nonreal estate companies are Xerox, IBM, Pepsi and Coke.</p> <p>Successful Realtors know the importance of using real estate marketing slogans to create "name<img src="http://www.lincolnlawnframes.com/images/image_is_everything.jpg" width="300" height="216" align="right" /> brands", but when conjuring up a slogan for yourself why not something as simple as your name.</p> <p>If Mike, Bill and Hillary can pull it off you can, too. Of Course you know who I mean, which epitomizes the power of a name.</p> <h3>Creating A Slogan!</h3> <p>Now, I can go to the yellow pages, write down a bunch of real estate marketing slogans and throw a bunch of them at you to jump start your creative juices, but you can do that yourself.</p> <p>A more constructive approach in creating your own slogan is to make a list of 10 slogans that reflect who you are, what niche real estate market you want to be known for, and your interests and personality in general.</p> <p><img src="http://www.lincolnlawnframes.com/images/center_image.jpg" width="777" height="90" /></p> <p>Use the yellow Real Estate Agents section of your local yellow pages to get ideas, then strive for phrases that uniquely characterize you.</p> <p>Imagine being the Madonna, or "leave the driving to us" of the real estate industry.</p> <p>Is it possible? Absolutely, but you'll have to create a slogan first! Then you'll need to use and publicize it every opportunity you get; in your ads, on your business cards, letter head, website, vanity car tag, etc.</p> <p>Don't expect instant success right out of the gate. It'll take a while, but you'll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a year or so. And if you have a real estate marketing system that reaches a minimum of 10 prospects a day the numbers can quickly add up in your favor.</p> <img src="http://www.lincolnlawnframes.com/images/news_side.jpg" width="201" height="497" align="right" /> <p>10 contacts a day x 20 days a month = 200 contacts a month</p> <p>200 contacts a month x 12 months a year = 2,400 contacts a year</p> <p>Without too much effort you can passively market your slogan to a minimum of 2,400 prospects a year.</p> <p>I wonder what impact having your marketing slogan on your car would have?</p> <p>No matter where you live, or what market you're in you're missing out on massive amounts of free marketing if you don't have a car tag of some kind advertising the fact that you're a Realtor.</p> <h2>ï¿½You never get a second chance to make a first impressionï¿½</h2> <p>And what about advertising your slogan through the penny, nickel and dime publications? Think cheap advertising, high visibility, and lots of readers of your slogan to drive business opportunities your way.</p> <p>So, create your own unique, real estate marketing slogan; then publicize it heavily; freely and/or inexpensively, but heavily.</p> <p>Can you see the impact that this might have on your real estate marketing results? I can!</p> <p>Lanard Perry is the author of "Farming Expired Listings." Learn how to average 1 or more listings a week.
