Seems like 99% of the “hot marketing tips” that are peddled to you as Realtors often involve EITHER:
A) a weirdly hefty financial investment (like a mastermind, or massive monthly spend on paid ads),
OR
B) a gazillion different steps to implement.
Let me do ya one better today.
There’s this email marketing tip I swear by, that I guarantee most (if not all) of you are not currently implementing in your real estate businesses. In my personal experience, it’s a game-changer for lead conversion (I’ve been implementing the step in my own marketing emails for months now, and keep tracking the results weekly because it’s still so impressive).
Let me share it with you, and give you some handy swipe copy files to get you rolling. Best part is — it’s free, and will likely take no more than 10 minutes for you to set in motion.
It’s all about → the power of the P.S. in your marketing emails to create conversion.
Here’s the thing to know first: numbers speak volumes. Only 16% of your email readers actually read your content word-by-word; others just scan it, trying to discern what’s in it for them, where the meat is.
Because they’re subconsciously consuming all that info, most readers skip to the final lines of your email, first (after reading the email subject line, of course).
Which is exactly why every marketing email you send should have a meaningful, brand-boosting “P.S.” attached.
In other words, in marketing emails, you should be pitching your CTA where your reader is giving you their best attention.
One way to do that is by crafting one strong, evergreen postscript for your marketing emails that always follows your signature, continually reinforcing your brand message + core service offerings in a casual yet targeted way.
By building this postscript into your strategy — where you include it at the bottom of every email you send, every time — you drastically increase the likelihood of your readers taking action over time.
I do exactly this in my own emails.
If you’re part of our email family already, then you know what shows in the postscript of every email I send — it’s the same one I include at the end of every blog post, if you scroll down to look. “What’s BLUEPRINT, again? …” Recognize that blurb?
No other area of my emails gets more clicks than this P.S. …I’m not kidding.
I’ve converted thousands of dollars of custom-service clients via this postscript, sold thousands of dollars in digital templates, and just as importantly, I’ve reinforced our studio personality + worth over and over again to the folks who matter most to my business.
All from a consistent, well-crafted little P.S.
The works because it not only creates curiosity when delivered with consistency, but it creates urgency as well. It’s a clean, more human-centric call for the reader to take action.
You wouldn’t even peg it as a psychological trick (kind of a way to always be selling, without that icky sales smell?), but it sure as heck is one, given that most people read postscripts just by force of habit.
Really, you can think of the P.S. of your marketing emails as your content “dessert.” Since it has a visual advantage — and is understood as “something you forgot to include” in the body of your email — you can write whatever the heck you want.
Why would you not implement this immediately?
This is your cue to craft a P.S. “template” for your real estate marketing emails that is consistent within every email, or may even shift seasonally, depending on your lead magnet or offer for the quarter.
Use the P.S. to link to your social media. Invite readers to schedule a consult with you. Share one of your beautiful lead magnets or Guides. Encourage readers to subscribe to your side-content (Realtor podcast, videos, “tip of the day,” etc.)
Here are three Realtor-specific P.S. templates from me to get you rolling.
