How To Send Your New Listings in an Email

Imagine if you could send out an email with all of the new listings you worked so hard to get in the last month. Now imagine if you could track who was clicking on each listing in real time. 

You can! Just use the Listing template in the template library!

What method are you using to get your new listings out there? Our Listing template is a great way to feature listings and tell your contacts about the available listings in the area. Use the email reporting feature to not only check who is opening your emails, but to see who is clicking on each specific listing. Those people just became your hottest leads for the day. Get on the phone and start making those showing appointments! Follow the steps below for instructions on how to send emails with your new listings in them.

Marketing Tip: Marketing is about targeting a specific audience. Make a new list of your contacts who are in the market to purchase a new home. 

Marketing Tip: Make sure to send out a new listing email at least once a month. Changing the title to "New Listings for March 2014" would be a good title.
