The first lesson to learn when you are turning to social media to help market your properties, the first thing you need to know is that LinkedIn is not Instagram. There is a whole different audience on LinkedIn.
That audience requires many different methods to attract members to your account and view your profile, etc. While you still need many of the same pieces of content, great writing, and great photos, you are writing to a more professional audience than a recreational one.
With that in mind, think about how the following information will help boost your visibility and bring more sales through this giant social media outlet.
Many LinkedIn members are looking for strong real estate investments. The members are part of the higher class in society, and they are not generally looking for residential homes to live in. They have them already.
What they want is something that they can invest in a good building that will bring them a good return on their investment. Commercial real estate is one of those few investments that can do just that.
To develop a strong commercial real estate post, you should be aware that many property developers (8 out of 10) use LinkedIn as their social media source of information.
That fact should help you develop a great marketing strategy to reach those investors and developers. When you know your target audience, it is easier to develop a strategy that will attract their attention and make them check out your services.
This all starts at square one and by your choosing the right personal photo. Many LinkedIn members are professionals, and first impressions will influence their decision to work with you or not.
Here are some more tips to get a better profile on LinkedIn:
LinkedIn is more for professionals, so you should have a very professional profile as well as great content that exhibits your thorough knowledge of real estate in the UK.
You are not just addressing regular home buyers but people who want to live in luxurious homes or make sound investments in different properties throughout the country.
Once you know your audience, then you can market your profile better.
Keep searching for new ways to connect with professionals. Follow top journalists and industry experts and more than build that relationship till you are a part of their inner circle.
The more contacts you get, the more referrals can come your way.
Keep the sales pitch to a minimum and focus on good content, posting beautiful pictures, and so on. Be educational and informative but not salesy. You want content and photos that grab people’s interest, not drive them away.
The time for the sales pitch will come if you are patient enough. Also, direct that content to be relevant to your audience. You do not want to mention a high-rise apartment to a property developer.
And you do not want to bring bare land to the attention of someone looking for a commercial property to buy as an investment. Make sure your content is for your audience.
This can be done if your profile and LinkedIn page are done just right. You do not want to spend a lot of time with those people who are merely time wasters. Make sure that your profile is marketed to the right people who know what they want and have the money to get it.
This will provide you with direction and helps you monitor your marketing success or progress. Then if things are not working out, you can do a little investigating and see what needs to be tweaked or changed.
