You often have to be a jack-of-all-trades to run a small business — and one of the best skills you can learn is marketing. Many appraisers struggle with the idea of marketing themselves, but if you think about it at a basic level, it's simply the act of establishing a relationship. You don't need to have your face on a billboard or take out ads in the paper. Something as simple as a friendly email message around the holidays to the folks on your contact list is enough to make you memorable — leading to repeat orders and year-round referrals from happy clients!
If you're not sure where to begin, consider starting with a single email campaign. XSellerate lets you send out pre-made sets of emails tailored for appraisers, with themes like Selling Your Home and 2018 Holidays. We call these Ready Made Campaigns, and we let you send them on a schedule of your choice to all of your contacts at once — or to a specific subset like Divorce Attorneys, Homeowners, or Agents, if you prefer. Watch the video below to learn more [1:15].
