Once these are built, you&#8217;ll no longer need to worry about scheduling time to get back to each lead &#8211; and you&#8217;ll be building engagement with each email.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here are some examples of how to create the best email campaign ever,\u00a0so you can grow your engagement and connection with leads.<\/p>\n<h2>Something short, sweet and to the point<\/h2>\n<p>Truth is, we&#8217;re all glued to our iPhone&#8217;s and Androids.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s world, everyone is rushing to get things done and no one has a few minutes to spare. People are busy! Look how busy your life is, and how often you read through all of your emails from beginning to end.<\/p>\n<p>When do you read your emails? Do you read everything or file most of it away into the trash?<\/p>\n<p>Look at your email patterns, and put your mind into how a lead might be viewing your emails. Yes, it&#8217;s important information &#8211; but if it&#8217;s not the right length I assure you people will zoom right past it.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your initial email to your lead short and sweet. Give them the right amount of information to move the conversation forward, and always leave them with something bite-sized that requires them to contact you again. Take a look at our example below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3874\" src=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-15-at-2.54.24-PM1.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-11-15 at 2.54.24 PM\" width=\"560\" height=\"485\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Give your leads a little bit of information on who you are, your experience, and when you might be available to meet. Something short like this will give your lead the perfect amount of information &#8211; without having to read a huge long email&#8230;because trust me, they probably won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t just have one email scheduled<\/h2>\n<p>Once you build your automation, it&#8217;s important to include more than one email on the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of realtors create campaigns that have 3 or more emails that go out to their leads at different times. Since following up is key, having multiple emails scheduled for weeks down the road will up your chances of leads contacting you back.<\/p>\n<p>Gine Wade, a successful realtor in the Georgia area sends a follow-up letter 90 days after their initial request to ensure she&#8217;s touching base with them one more time.<\/p>\n<p>People get busy with work, family, and life! It&#8217;s important to remind people because sometimes life gets in the way and they need the reminder. The following is a recommended schedule for your email campaign:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Week one: Introduction\/touching base<\/li>\n<li>Week two: Market information<\/li>\n<li>Week three: Common home prices in their area<\/li>\n<li>Week four: Are you ready to sell?<\/li>\n<li>Week five: Setting up an appointment\/final bits of information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This five-week campaign will help you stay on track, and touch base with leads multiple times with the right information.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be a robot<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember there&#8217;s a fine line between being overly professional, and casual.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying you should message your <a title=\"facebook real estate leads\" href=\"http:\/\/streettext.com\">facebook leads<\/a> like you&#8217;re messaging your best friend &#8211; but I am telling you to remember to lighten up a little!<\/p>\n<p>After years of working in customer service, and online customer support I&#8217;ve learned that people often wonder if they&#8217;re talking to a real person or a robot or an automated service.<\/p>\n<p>People like to know they&#8217;re talking to a real person.\u00a0 Make your emails professional, but light in how they&#8217;re worded.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s okay to add some personality to your emails! Adding a personal touch, and personal voice lets people know what kind of Realtor you are. This will put you leagues above the rest, and ensure you&#8217;re creating engaging partnerships with your leads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All in all, building email campaigns will only benefit your business. Take some time to plan it out, and dive into better engagement and better communication with leads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1519\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/demo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Button-BookDemo.png\" alt=\"Book a Demo to See StreetText in Action - Lead Magnet\" width=\"260\" height=\"91\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book a Demo to See StreetText in Action &#8211; Lead Magnet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600; font-style: inherit;\">Other Interesting Blog Posts:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\"><a title=\"facebook real estate ads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/products\/realtor\/lead-magnet\/facebook-strategy\">Facebook Real Estate Ads<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Find buyers and sellers with Facebook ads<\/span><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"real estate leads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-capture-good-real-estate-leads-online\">Real Estate Leads Generator<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">How to capture real estate leads\u00a0online today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"facebook real estate leads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-generate-inquiries-facebook-farming-part-2\">Facebook Real Estate Leads<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">How to generate inquiries with Facebook farming<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a title=\"facebook real estate advertising\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-generate-inquiries-facebook-farming-part-3\">Facebook Real Estate Advertising<\/a><br \/>\n70% of all home buyers and sellers work with the first Realtor they meet<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"facebook real estate ads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/products\/realtor\/lead-magnet\/facebook-strategy\">Facebook Real Estate Ads<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">Generate Ongoing Facebook Leads<br \/>\nIntroducing you to the proven strategy that will grow your business<\/em><\/p>\n<p>StreetText<br \/>\n<a title=\"Facebook Ads\" href=\"http:\/\/streettext.com\">Facebook Ads<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With 2018 approaching, it&#8217;s a good time to start thinking about new systems and techniques to implement to your business.
