Successful real estate marketing and advertising is the result of doing three things right:
- Creating ads that grab your target prospects’ attention.
- Saying the right things to generate interest, prompt responses and move the prospect closer to the buying decision.
- Placing your ads in publications that reach your target prospects.
The Power of a Great Headline
Great real estate marketing materials start with great headlines. Whether you’re creating a print ad, a property flyer, a Web page, or a brochure, the headline that sits above your copy will make or break your communication effort, and here’s why:
- Four out of five people read nothing but the headline.
- Only the most compelling and provocative headlines tempt readers to learn more by reading further down into your ad copy.
- You can write amazing ad copy, but if your headline is weak, 80% of the people will pass right over your ad.
Here are a few examples of powerful headlines:
