Blue Modern Real Estate Newsletter

End of Summer Newsletter (mail or email)

Now’s a good time to send an end-of-summer newsletter to your database. Newsletter topics include market updates, seasonal advice, home maintenance, and local market conditions. Have a call to action, such as “Discover Your Dream Home Today!” and include a link to your latest listings. If your CRM software provides information on who opened and clicked on links in your electronic newsletter, consider sending a personalized follow-up email asking if they have any questions about the market.

A Look Ahead
