How to Successfully Do Real Estate Email Marketing

Successful real estate email marketing is complex and can be tricky. There are many components of the process and it needs to be executed perfectly in order to gain success! Every subscriber in your database is important and unique, and they need to be made to feel important! So, what is involved in the process to be successful in email marketing?

Strategic Planning

Behind every marketing email there is a strategic plan, a lot of thought goes behind this before clicking the send button. Research is key, utilising and optimising current data on your customers, finding out as much as possible about them in order to segment them into groups to target each individual group for a more personalised experience. A strategic real estate email marketing plan involves tactically coming up with content, timings, wording, layout, design, and much more.

Design

The design process involves more than just colours, strategic thinking is paramount. Is your design eye catching and responsive with strong content? Does it reinforce your brand image? Does it make a lasting impression? Does the layout work? Is it personalised to its audience? Does it convey the message? These are just some of the key things you need to consider.

HTML Coding

HTML coding is an important part of the design process, emails need to display well on all the different types of email platforms your clients could potentially have, as well as adapt to phone screens and tablets. Think of all the different types of software tools for email, MailChimp, Google Mail, Outlook, Yahoo!, Hotmail, Apple Mail, the list goes on. It is therefore crucial to ensure that HTML coding is set up correctly to optimise the performance of your emails.

UTM Tracking

This is a crucial medium when marketing via email. Using advanced analytics, we can track rates for email opens, forwards, click-throughs and how long an email has been opened for. This provides data showing customers’ interest in your products and services and the success of your email campaign. This is necessary to determine the effectiveness of your email and influential to improving the performance of your future campaigns.

GDPR

In order to market via email, you are legally required to follow GDPR regulations. GDPR is the primary law regulating how companies protect EU Citizens’ personal data, ensuring a more guarded protection of data. Failure to comply could lead you facing very large penalties (4% of your company’s annual global turnover, to be precise).
