Newer & Effective ways of lead generation for Real Estate Business

1. Old Data Rechurning – The first thing you can do when you start a new campaign is look to the database you already have. The leads which have been generated earlier. They can be 6-8 months old. They might have failed due to various reasons earlier. This data bank when churned with help of cold calls, SMS, or mailers can help you generate leads. The current offer sent to these leads can activate them again. Your mail with the new offer and communication can be the trigger for their renewed interest. The gain for you in this channel is that you have no investment to generate leads but you have the chances of conversion. Hence, this database if maintained well can act like your store house of leads. It can act as your Zero or No Cost marketing.

They have shown interest in your product, they have visited your website or they have shown interest in buying but did not. You can retarget these customers through various platforms like Google or Facebook ads. Since they have already shown interest in your product before show them a different communication as compared to the people you are reaching out for the first time.
