In May he'll be attending MidWest Real Estate Networking Summit where will share some of his real estate marketing ideas that can help you boost your property ad presence and keep up with the latest trends in this digital age. So, if you’re ready to take your business to the next level, Luther Ragsdale recommends that you explore some of his valuable insight, and use his tips and strategies to increase your property showings average.
  
  Nowadays there are so many available resources to choose from, such as webinars, ebooks and blog posts, which makes it easier than ever to learn and discover. Increasing traffic in a buyer's market is twice as important to other types of markets. In Ragsdale’s experience, not getting enough showings usually means that there is a lot of competition on the market, giving buyers too much to choose from. One of the most effective ways to increase traffic and promote your listing is through market exposure, and in today’s digital age, your website should be the foundation for most of your marketing efforts.
  
  Telling prospects what is unique about your property (maybe it is a multifamily property) is one of the key factors that makes a business advertised. Before you start attracting buyers, you should have a target audience. From the very start, it is important that you create a strong online presence. If you want to make a lasting impression, Ragsdale suggests that it’s of highest possible quality. That means your public presentation needs to be engaging, on target with the right target group, and even more important it needs to convey a compelling brand story. First impressions are vital, and there is no second chance for a first impression.  So, in addition to doing the usual spring cleaning and decluttering, you can step up your game by freshening up the exterior and thus enabling the potential buyer to see himself living there. Creating a good presentation can be an awesome way to show off your abilities to prospective clients.
  
  The way you sharing your listings on social media can eventually make or break a deal. As previously mentioned, having a strong online presence is a crucial factor, and luckily nowadays there are plenty of choices. For example, Ragsdale mentions photos as a great tool that can make your property stand out. You can always take thing further and make a bigger effort like creating your own video tour of the property. This can help you gain search engine traction because videos are indexed. Next, you can optimize the video by adding a title, description, and keyword-rich copy.
  
  When looking for a house or other type of property, you spend a lot of time outside. That’s why the real estate agent Ragsdale believes that getting a mobile site is equally important as getting a desktop site. This means the site needs to be optimized for mobile devices so you can reach and attract as many potential candidates as possible. Apart from that, you can also enhance your listing with additional information that will make the listing more worthy.
