  • Should I have a Facebook Business Page?
    If you ask our Corporate Marketing Coordinator - the answer is yes! But of course, it all comes down to your unique business needs. A Facebook Business page allows you to be searchable online, easily opens a direct line of communication with consumers and, perhaps best of all, allows you to run Facebook Ads. Facebook is still the world’s most-used social platform (Hootsuite 2022), and most people who are present on other social media platforms are also active on Facebook.
  • Do I need to be on Instagram/Twitter/TikTok/YoutTube etc?
    It depends. Each platform has a slightly different user base, and you need to ask yourself: is my ideal client on this platform? Instagram has less users than Facebook, but they are more engaged and tend to be slightly younger. Tiktok is even younger, but it is growing fast. Twitter has only 2% of the user base of Facebook. Youtube has the second highest user base, but requires high quality video. If you are already on Facebook, Instagram is a natural next step since they use the same ad platform and allow cross-posting. As for other social media platforms, it comes down to A) If you have the time to commit to being active on the platform and B) If your ideal client is on the platform. It is only worth your time if it has the potential to grow your business, not just your social following.
  • What should I post on my business profiles on social media?
    Before you post on social media, ask yourself:is this on brand? Does this show that I am an authority in the industry? If the answer is yes, post away! We have lots of social media graphics you can share on Office-tools.ca, Realmarketing, Max Centre, and the brokerage social media profiles. You can share pre-made content and also your own original content. Don't forget to engage with other people's content as this will also help your own page. The key is balance - 80% of your posts should be informational and educational (i.e market stats, industry news, community events, even your personal life), and 20% should be direct call-to-actions (i.e home evaluations, private showings, lead generation etc.). You want your page to be a place that consumers want to visit and and a place they feel empowered by high-qualityreal estate knowledge. Online users are at all stages of their buying or selling journey, so you want your page to have content for every stage of that process. If you only post listings, your page may only be interesting to buyers looking to buy today. But you want to attract users who might be buying or selling today, one month from now, six months from now, one year, or even longer! Social media is a great place to nurture leads every step of the way.
