When Facebook Goes Away

The main reasons for using social media are an expectation to have a presence on social media; help build and maintain relationships with existing clients; use it to promote new listings, and use it to find new prospects, according to a recent report by *NAR: See below:Real Estate in a Digital Age,” National Association of REALTORS® (September 2021). Is YOUR business on Social Media? What other marketing are you doing OTHER THAN Social Media? What is your 2022 plan for marketing your business? All great questions that need to be answered and addressed.

BOTTOM LINE: Your business needs more than Facebook!

What about these other categories – personal website, email marketing, online marketing – should they be ignored?

How will you continue to stay in touch with them?
