Record Video About Yourself

If you are looking to change the strategy and focus more on branding, it would be a great idea to build trust and rapport recording a short 30 sec – 1 min video in which you are talking about yourself, your experience, hobbies etc.

These types of videos help to build a closer relationship with a potential client. Moreover, monitor for any social engagement like comments or personal messages and make sure you reply back.

Use Video or Text Testimonials

For most of our clients, we suggest running remarketing campaigns on Facebook to stay on top of clients’ minds. Again, for different markets, there is different content that works best. In our experience, the client’s testimonials works like charm.

Not to mention, you could also record videos on different topics that might interest potential clients. Some of those topics are:

1. Professional “About Me” video highlighting your expertise and areas of focus
2. Tips for first time home buyers
3. Questions to ask before hiring a listing agent
4. Home inspections basics
5. Tips to increase the price of your home
6. The benefits of using a real estate agent to sell your home
7. Top 5 renovations that increase the value of your home
8. Latest home design trends
9. Local Market updates
10. “Just Sold” video

To sum up, Facebook ads is a great tool to generate quality leads, but to be successful, you will need spend hours A/B-testing and monitor the performance of your ads to make sure you “hit” potential clients with highly relevant ads.
