EMAIL
MARKETING
- Monthly blast email to your sphere of influence – prospective buyers/sellers
- Monthly blast email to other agents, brokers, escrow and title company reps to showcase your listings. You may not have “open houses” or caravans but you can drive people digitally!!
- Quarterly blast email to past clients – thanking them for collaboration, solicit for referrals and reviews
SOCIAL MEDIA
- Daily/weekly social interaction on social media – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Slideshare – pick one that works for you!
- Instagram rocks – just a picture and a caption. Can have automatically go into your Facebook feed (with linking accounts – no additional work)
- Facebook fanpage – smart way to build a “list serve” of fans/supporters. Never know who shares!
- Facebook advertising by brokers to their communities targeting folks who Own, manage, run or work at a Restaurant. Money to play with may be a challenge except by those performing well.
LINKEDING MARKETING
- Encourage everyone to get more active on Linkedin and start “friending / connecting” with restaurant owners throughout the area (if the owner of a popular restaurant isn’t there, the manager – it opens up introductions and raises awareness). I’ve used Linkedin for prospecting for years, since it launched, and has been a helpful business-to-business tool.
- If more brokers follow our lead by posting articles with meaningful topics, more people will organically find them locally as well.
- Linkedin Profile Development – repackage if not launch your identity on Linkedin. Add role at Restaurant Realty Company and you’ll benefit from our Linkedin marketing (will show up more in searches).
- Consider writing POST (article) on Linkedin about recent sales. See Steve’s – https://www.linkedin.com/in/restaurantrealty/detail/recent-activity/posts/
- Searching Restaurant Owners groups on Linkedin – and JOIN and interact with groups
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/3214252/profile
ONLINE MARKETING
- Ambassador program
- Create recruitment campaign where upon you give commission to folks who refer you listings. Build your ambassador program. Incentivize people to promote you by rewarding them for leads. $15 Starbucks gift card for every lead or $5-10 iTunes egiftcard for younger folks.
- Outreach to agents for commissions
- Explore website landing page showcasing and expanding your Real Estate experience on RRC’s corporate website
DIRECT MAIL
Direct mail
- Postcards or flyer that you can mail out to defined list of restaurants, bars & clubs. Steve says include in an envelope to ensure delivered discreetly to owner; could back fire as well.
- Consider Greeting card to send out 2-3x a year. Mail personalized card to select people wishing them a (1) Happy New Year (January); (2) Enjoy Summer (late Spring cleaning) and Happy Holidays (November). All of which include your business card and a “the highest compliment I can receive is a referral to your friends and family! Thank you for your business!” cheesy message!
- Bottom line, SEND something! Once a quarter. Twice a year. Once a year. You’ll achieve something by doing it. 2-5% return on investment guaranteed! For every 100 pieces mailed 2-5 leads.
DOOR KNOCKING
- Door Knocking
- Postcards are a great leave behind.
- Develop business card or small postcard that acts like a flyer. Drop off at key locations
- Develop magnet and/or notepad that can be dropped off to key restaurants.
- Creating something useful that WILL NOT be thrown away is really key; that might be kept and hidden as reference near a phone!
- Creating a resource. Create a top CITY PHONE numbers roster or a CALENDAR of upcoming holidays for 2017-2018.
- Develop Free Market Evaluation with tear-off for restaurants that you drop by! Figure out the working hours of those restaurants you’re after and aim to show up BEFORE opening hours or near closing to try to get in front of OWNERS!
NETWORKING
- Networking
- Consider Provisors or other lead generation groups. As BUSINESS BROKERS we’ve got an edge over over abundance of realtors/lawyers. Must be distinguished on our business cards and postcards.
- Join CABB or other groups (while RRC is a member corporately, may be able to get discounted rate as AGENT/broker under company)
- Network with OTHER Commercial Brokers more heavily is also critical.
- What other local real estate / business broker conferences are taking place? What actual real estate groups should they be more locally invested in? For my LA friends, and if they are Jewish, getting involved in Moriah Society via American Jewish University is key, getting involved in the Jewish Federation Real Estate Group is key, etc. This is where mingling leads to referrals amongst our own.
- Target Accountants and Attorneys – establish relations with prominent top local folks who may have referral power
- Target Restaurants
- Via Google, research owners and managers of prominent restaurants in your area
- If you don’t know, call in and find out the name of the owner… usually waiters/front desk managers will give information after they ask “what is this regarding?” – my favorite answer “Can you let them know that Jeremy Broekman is on the phone?” (trick to get past gatekeepers).
