Hello Everyone, I’m always looking for new ways to get the phone ringing. I was wondering if anybody’s had any luck with putting ads on Craigslist? Is this a good way to get leads, or not?
Also, does anybody know of any good sites for bandit signs?
You could get some leads from Craigslist, it being free makes it a good option. Your investment is your time and patience, but if you had something better to do with your time then you may consider it.
I see nicer potential using it to network with realtors as well as contacting for sale by owner, and for rent by owner. I was contemplating this idea over the weekend and came up with an automated concept but have not tested it yet. Marketing is all about testing afterall
This is the first real estate forum I have found that is active and current. :biggrin
I use Craig’s list all the time and depending on the season (we rent and sell in a second home comm., very seasonal), it can work very well. We have found the key is to keep up with it and post often.
I am always looking for free marketing ideas, I would love to hear any others suggestions.
Go to postlets.com and create a flyer. When you are done you can copy the HTML code and place it into the craigslist ad. It will show up as an image. Plus postlets will post at several sites.
Go back to craigslist and post your regular classified ad.
Double post that way. Change headline. Leave your address off the address bar at the bottom of the ad. You can always throw a link to the property.
