Hell no!  I've doubled it. Be very visible, be present, get involved in your database. The leaders will be out in front, the "soon to be unemployed" agents will hide and pull back. The Crash taught us much, time to lean in.

Time to beef up the online marketing efforts to prepare for the summer. Richie has the right idea. One has to plant seeds if you expect a harvest.

marketing is like seeding. Planting now for later is how it works. How can we reap if we do not sow? These changes & shifts are hard to build upon I know

Never let your foot off the pedal when it comes to marketing.  That said, current circumstances may call for some tweaking of content or intent at this time , IMO ...

Will,

VISIBILITY MATTERS REGARDLESS OF CONDITIONS.   However, think in terms of tasteful marketing, which means not boasting of how fantastic you are or sharing the kudos you have gleaned...A

NOOOOoooooooo!

Hit the accelerator. Obviously, announcing Open Houses may backfire, but agents of fabric have so much more to offer than market reports and open houses. They know what troubles the dreams of those in their neighborhood. Getting them 're-centered' and ready to write their next chapter is the magic in the hands of the skilled.

Without naming names or capitalizing events, sharing the spiritual and mental outcome of manipulation and how to cancel its affects, just may be a timely message to ones audience.

The marketing message is now definitely different.  It's more supportive, outside of real estate stuff.  As for marketing and trying to get new clients - that is on hold for me as we are in a stay at home mode here in WA.

This is the time to get out there.  There are some really good buys and I'm negotiating hard.  And not for May only but through the summer.  Visibility is everything now to buyers and sellers. Tuck in your tail now and you disappear.

Yes.  I've been isolating since March 1st and I plan to continue to isolate for a week or two after everything gets lifted.  Better safe than sorry.  Since my niche is different than most, stopping my marketing won't impact me like it might impact others.

 

Looking at some projection number for California today, I'm going to be isolating through all of April and maybe into June.

Will ~ Now is the time to stay the marketing course... or even increase it if the means are there.  Too many agents have dropped off the proverbial grid and once they decide to return, they will have fallen to the back of the line.
