Happy New Year!

It is 2010 and every year, people make resolutions to improve themselves or something in their life. Whether it is losing weight, reading books, or quitting smoking, New Year’s resolutions help people re-evaluate their life and goals. The same can be said when it comes to your website. Many agents know one or two major features of the PropertyMinder AccelerAgent™ website, but might not be aware of all the other tools available.
Here is a list of the many offerings that come with our websites and how you can maximize each feature to start your 2010 off right.

• Custom IDX – Add MLS content pages to your website dedicated to certain areas, price ranges, or listings types. For example, you can have a page dedicated to all the “San Jose CA REOs” or “Washington DC Foreclosures”. This is a great tool for buyer’s agents, agents with no listings, or new agents.
• Email Marketing Campaigns – Let our drip email marketing system keep you in front of your contacts and sphere of influence. Easily setup automatic birthday reminders, anniversary sale date reminders, holiday messages, or even assign first time buyer email campaigns.
• AccelerAd – Easily post your listings into Craigslist! In a few clicks, your listing will be in Craigslist to not only get more exposure for the property but to drive local home buyers online back to your PropertyMinder website.
• Lead Capture Forms – Specify a page where a visitor can leave their information. You can have a person fill out this form to register for a newsletter, have this page up before seeing the Custom IDX page, or make it as an event registration form.
• Pay Per Click – Get guaranteed traffic and visitors from Google and Yahoo! search engines. We design effective ads tailored to your specific territory and area and optimize the ads for you for a reasonable fee.
• Training – Learn how to use the website and how to market it. We give an initial one on one “How To” training and then multiple webinar trainings as well. Also, our advanced Tech Mar training is available for an additional fee.

These are just some of the ways to boost your website presence and its functionality.

Reading your slogan, mission statement, and business philosophy require concentration and mental effort. For most of us, multitasking becomes virtually impossible when we try to absorb the words while reading. Your website visitors may redirect their attention to bright images, flash designs or animations before they even finish reading your slogan. As a result, many do not see your unique value proposition on the spot.

AccelerAgentTM Websites’ new audio feature helps convey your message to visually distracted readers.

Being virtually bombarded with advertising, we become immune to commercials and we only look at ads for about two to five seconds on average. We see the words with our eyes, engage with the layout of the text, and we subconsciously acknowledge the paragraph breaks and emphasis on certain words. This is one of the reasons why the best ads, unique marketing statements, headlines and slogans are limited to just a few words.

AccelerAgentTM Websites now feature the latest Text to Speech (TTS) Technology. It can convert unlimited text and dynamically generated content to audio in seconds. Only PropertyMinder Websites can play content that is not pre-recorded. Text-to-speech is a process through which text is rendered as digital audio and then “spoken”. Agents may select the voice and gender of the speaker that will deliver their marketing messages to buyers and sellers.

In Web 2.0 reality, enabling audio on your website can help communicate your value to your target audience and deliver your marketing message in a short period of time.

Research has shown that when read aloud and simultaneously shown, text is better absorbed by the reader. This is also why services like Podcast* became a popular marketing media for businesses.

PropertyMinder AccelerAgentTM Websites may sometimes be referred to as “Talking Websites”. They simply communicate with great impact.

Imagine a Sales Representative that speaks to each of your website visitors, giving detailed information on the service you provide. Speaking websites will increase your number of buyers.

AccelerAgentTM Websites make your guest’s experience more interactive. Go beyond flat text and communicate your value with impact. Stand out from the crowd.

Since 1999, PropertyMinder has helped thousands of Real Estate agents and brokers adjust quickly to post-Internet revolution and take advantage of tremendous Internet Marketing opportunities to secure their success in Real Estate.

SB-133, is a landmark legislation that will allow California to lead the country in Title Insurance Marketing reform by creating the first registration program for Title Marketing Representatives in the nation.
With the new law, title companies are no longer allowed to provide much support and services to agents as they did in the past.
As a result, many California agents turned to PropertyMinder for help in hosting their property disclosures on their AccelerAgentTMWebsites.
Agents with PropertyMinder AcelerAgentTM websites can upload the information they intend to disclose and then limit the access to selected users only. The system tracks who downloads the information.
“I believe a feature like this allows PropertyMinder clients who are using our reliable and fully loaded AccelerAgentTM Websites to easily adapt the best practices in confidential information,” said Aric Kazarnovsky, Executive Vice President, PropertyMinder Inc.
The agents who take these steps are not only doing their job with care, but are representing the sellers to the fullest, taking advantage of technology to save time and money, most especially to reduce paperwork.
“When I heard that my title company would no longer be able to host my property disclosure documents, I contacted PropertyMinder to see if they could provide this service, since they have done a great job hosting my personal website. PropertyMinder immediately responded, and in response to my request launched a “Hosting of Disclosure Packages” project with high priority, from which other colleagues may now also take advantage! The fact that they are not charging extra for existing PropertyMinder agents shows how much they value our loyalty as their clients. Now buyers will be able to easily download any documents needed from our listings. PropertyMinder is truly our one stop shop for Internet Marketing needs!” said Gwen Luce, a Coldwell Banker Realtor®.
PropertyMinder’s iMARKETING System successfully blends truly encompassing and highly reliable technology with innovative Internet Marketing.
Since 1999, PropertyMinder has helped more than 30,000 Real Estate agents and brokers adjust to the post Internet reality and take advantage of tremendous opportunities to secure their success in Real Estate.

TECH-MAR Clinics will be taking this Fridays Tech-Mar Clinic #5.  From Clinic #1 through Clinic #3 we had primarily worked on search engine optimization, business listings, social listings and finally in class #4 we worked on funnel advertising.  Part of good search engine placement is in your amount of traffic.  Funnel ads and the marketing concept behind them help to traffic high volumes of people to your site from very targeted free ads.  I was assisting one attendee with a technical question on her ad.  She reported that within an hour of placing the ad she already had one new visitor to her site who had started a property search.  This is what the Tech-mar clinics are all about.  More traffic to your website and from that, more leads.  If your website is suffering from “can’t be found”, then take a look at the Tech-Mar clinics and turn it around in five hour long sessions that will give you the technical edge to quickly understand and utilize the free resources of the internet to boost your sales numbers.
