Good Design Gives Realtors The Upper Hand in Selling Houses
Despite our current economy condition and housing market, the real estate industry is still an extremely competitive businesses in today’s world. One reason is the freedom to be your own boss, and the ability control your own destiny. Other reasons include the high return on selling a piece of property. Another reason is that you can work at selling real estate as a part time job, or as your main income source. Many retired people decide to sell real estate just because it can be fun and often rewarding. But because of the number of hungry realtors in the market, having a well designed website and promotional material will make you stand out from the competition, and quite often the key to ones success.
People and potential customers tend to be attracted to certain images or designs. Although in reality a company’s design or image does not make it a better product, or service. It does make it more recognizable, and it may make it seem more successful simply because of a clever and well designed business card, advertisement, image or logo.
Clever or catchy logo’s, slogans, tag lines, colors, and even the kind of paper your material is printed on make your piece stand out, and may make people remember a business easier. This is true in all aspects of business. Almost everyone associated the golden arches as a McDonald’s restaurant. The same holds true in the real estate market. How ’bout that red, white and blue hot-air balloon? Designing a corporate logo that people can associate your company with the real estate industry could be the deciding reason a person chooses you over a competitor.
Below is one of my favorite examples. On the left is a box of business cards collected at a trade show. One cards stands above the rest (no pun intended). Clever!
