Your customers are spending at least three hours each day on social media. Given that half of consumers (54%) rely on it to find out more about a brand, product or service, what is your estate agency doing to reach them?
Maintaining a strong online presence across the major platforms is essential for any agent looking to capture new leads and influence purchasing decisions. Yet not everyone knows how to tackle tweets, posts and content.
Contrary to what you may think, there is no longer a generational gulf on social media.
What does this mean for estate and letting agents?
With younger consumers the most active online, and the older demographic quickly taking to it as well, you can reach a greater customer base – if you know what to say and when.
Sharing information that appeals to first-time buyers, second steppers or rental opportunities in your area will perform well with millennials. Whilst content that’s geared around re-mortgaging, your fully-managed lettings service and downsizing advice will position you as the go-to agent for your Gen X and Baby Boomer clients.
