If your small business is anything like ours, chances are you had to pivot and adapt in a million different ways last year. 2020 was the year of Virtual meetings, turning your dining room into an office, and asking yourself "WTF just happened" over and over again! You might have caught yourself asking "How do I market myself and my business now??" and maybe you've even had to put yourself out there online more than you ever thought you would have to! You've done everything you can think of, and your social media efforts still... aren't... converting... Ugh! Although many of us continue to pivot and adapt towards the end 2021, it doesn't mean it's still easy or that we have it all figured out yet!

Here are our top 3 secrets to intentionally marketing your Real Estate business on Instagram:
SECRET #1: Defining Your Ideal Client
Who are they? What kind of Real Estate deal are they looking for? What do they like? What accounts or hashtags do they follow on Instagram? What inspires them? What do they post about online? Pull out your favorite journal and start writing about your ideal client, the more details the better! DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! It's so important that you are able to clearly define who you are marketing to online. We see so many small businesses posting inconsistent content and chances are it's because they haven't clearly defined who it is they are speaking to. Keep in mind, your target audience criteria should be your dream client - not necessarily the clients you're already working with on a regular basis (unless they are already your dream clients of course!).

SECRET #2: Setting Your End Goal
Setting goals is so important in business, and in life in general. One of our favorite quotes is "You can't hit a target you cannot see, and you cannot see a target you do not have" by Zig Ziglar, meaning if you don't know what you're aiming for, you will miss your mark every time. If you're reading this - chances are you've been an entrepreneur for a while now and you've probably sat down a time or two to set your business goals. However, have you taken the next step to break down your year-end goals? Are they broken down into tangible action items? Do you know how you can utilize an online marketing strategy to reach them faster? These are all great questions you should be asking when setting your goals for this upcoming year.
Let's say you have a goal to sell $100M in Real Estate this next year. The next step is to determine where your leads are coming in from and what percentage of your business they account for. If you have data from the previous year, we suggest analyzing it and honing in on the marketing strategies you used that had the highest conversion rate and/or the best quality of leads. If online marketing was not a part of your strategy for generating leads last year, you have an amazing opportunity to significantly grow your business! Did you know that 47% of real estate businesses note that social media results in the highest quality leads versus other sources according to SproutSocial.

SECRET #3: Curate content & Use CTAs (Call to actions)
A crucial part of intentional marketing online is curating content that your ideal client actually wants to see. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in online marketing is posting irrelevant content with no call to action. Take a moment to look at the last 3 posts you put up on your social media - is it obvious what you do or who you help based on your last 3 posts? Is the content you posted relevant to what your ideal client would likely want to interact with? Why or why not? Did you use a call-to-action? How did you ask for others to engage with you? Did you ask them to message you? Or maybe to comment on your post? If not one of the best things you can do for your online marketing is to start using call-to-actions which will increase your engagement drastically. And when you increase your engagement the chances of you converting your followers into leads also skyrockets!
