"I want to talk to you about selling"

I love my newsletter, I get so much feedback, in fact here’s a text I got a couple of days ago, I’m going to do an appraisal this afternoon: “Hi Fiona, my name’s Dave. I get your newsletter. I’ve been looking around Papakura and decided I want to talk to you about selling my house.” It’s just so easy and keeps me on track.

"I need to sell my house"

Just did an appraisal for a guy who called and said, “I love reading your newsletter and I need to sell my house so I thought I'd better phone you...”

More time to do what we are good at - listing and selling real estate

We have been using Open Door Marketing now for 7 years and even after all this time we get excited when the end of the month comes around and our in-box receives a preview of the following month's Newsletter. Their content is always on-point and relevant to whatever is happening in the real estate world.

This is a great tool for us to keep in touch with our database of clients and the feedback we receive from these clients is always complimentary. Open Door Marketing are always happy for us to supplement their content with our own input to personalise. Their service is always very prompt and we find them extremely friendly and easy to deal with. Using their service is an easy option allowing us more time to do what we are good at, getting out and about listing and selling property. Thank you ODM we look forward to another 7 years.

Helped grow my real estate business

Shelley and her team have provided high standard services all the way through since I was a new real estate agent. With great content that touches on not only real estate matters but also skills and fun in our everyday living, their monthly newsletters have helped grow my business in the community and confidence in thinking and acting as a professional real estate agent. Really appreciated their hard work and support. Highly recommended.

Part of my success comes from their support to my business

I've been utilising Open Door Marketing and Shelley Pilkington for several years. Is it coincidental that I now feature regularly in the Top 100 Agents for NZ? I would say No!

My newsletter is a big part of my "Sales Tool Bag" when talking to home owners about selling their property. Being able to offer 1 document which can be posted and emailed to a database or hand delivered to an exclusive area is of great benefit from many perspectives, including quite rightly, being cost effective!

In addition to the extremely reasonable cost, the newsletter provides up to date REINZ sales data local to our area, helpful articles and handy hints for home owners relevant to the time of year or holiday/celebratory occasion, and puzzles and jokes as well - something for everyone! The newsletter is personalised for me - it is a vehicle for advertising my website, my various social media outlets, and recent awards and testimonials from clients, along with current listings and recent sales - and requires about 15 minutes of input from me each month in total!

The best thing about this newsletter is the creator and supplier - Shelley, along with her ever capable 2IC Rachel. Both are friendly, helpful and extremely efficient - they have consistently provided service above and beyond what is the norm; they are happy to revise, and change script and photos at the last minute on occasion when it's been needed, and have always been easy to work with and accommodating, without being pushy!

Part of my success comes from their support to my business - so in short - They rock!

Being someone’s trusted real estate agent before they need me

Open Door Marketing has provided me with a phenomenal newsletter, great content and excellent presentation that shows me in a great light to existing and potential customers. Lifts my profile (helps people to get to know me, like me, trust me and want to use me), keeps me in contact, fills a niche no one else is doing. Another point of contact along with DLEs and newspaper, being someone’s trusted real estate agent before they need me. Also allows me to concentrate on other pressing matters. Takes a weight off my shoulders! I love no one else can advertise the same newsletter in my area!!

Weight taken off my shoulders...gives me consistency

I’m really happy with the newsletter, was a weight taken off my shoulders and I like the variety of articles, market report, jokes, puzzles etc. I delivered these around my new farm area and a couple of people who had no junk mail on their mailboxes were requesting I drop one in every month. I’m liking the fact that I can get this out monthly which gives me more consistency plus DLE or appraisal letter in between each issue.

One of the best forms of advertising in 20 years in real estate

Open Door Marketing's real estate newsletter is so convenient, and all done for me, all I needed to do was update my database (which was to my advantage) and make up regular labels for my posted newsletters.

I have had good feedback from people, especially about how it is good to receive a real estate newsletter that is different and not all about the real estate agent or company. I have a large number of retired people on my database and they look forward to the newsletter, especially the joke and the general information.

The benefits are that my name is out there regularly, without any hard work on my behalf. It gives me an excuse to talk to people, asking if they received newsletter etc. It makes me feel good about doing regular advertising - which helps my confidence, and reduces my guilt.

One person phoned to say they were the new people living in a house that the newsletter was being posted to, but asked if my database could be altered to include their name so they could continue receiving the newsletter, which they enjoy.

I am too greedy to recommend the newsletter to local agents - I want this outstanding advertising opportunity all to myself. But to agents out of area who want to look professional and are prepared to spend the money marketing, I would say it is one of the best forms of advertising that I have found in my 20 years of being in real estate.

Cares about their clients’ success

I have tried to make up newsletters in the past and having now used Open Door Marketing, would never suggest anyone takes that time out of their business when it can be done professionally, quickly and with a company that truly seems to care about their clients’ success.

People can't wait for the next newsletter

With a mixture of exciting subjects, the newsletter has given us a lot to talk about in the community. People can't wait for the next one to come out! One lady in particular hops in the car every month to just pick up the newsletter! It is very professional and just a great goody people love and come back for; makes it easy to stay in touch with the public. The team is downright brilliant. Highly recommended!

Nearly everybody recognises my name

I hate cold calling but have found it easy because I have been able to introduce myself and check they are receiving my newsletter and if they are enjoying it... Well, response has been overwhelming - nearly everybody recognises my name and most read the newsletter. They all enjoy it and ask that I continue sending it (have been able to get several more email addresses for my database). The biggest comments were how much they enjoy the jokes and how informative and friendly the newsletter is, without it being a boring real estate newsletter.
CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you are getting new business (enough new business that I can suddenly get free newsletters - ha ha ha).

Highly recommend Open Door Marketing

I've been working with Shelley and her wonderful team for over 3 years now and I have found them to be very approachable and extremely accommodating. I'm one of those people that complains when I get poor service, but their service is second to none, so I have nothing but praise for them. The quality of the newsletters and other articles I have asked for is always consistent and I have had many comments from recipients of my newsletter as to how good they are. Everyone loves the jokes! I can highly recommend Open Door Marketing to anyone that is need of the services offered by them.

Top-of-mind for referrals & repeat sales

I get great feedback from my newsletter. People regularly comment on how much they enjoy receiving it and say “thanks for staying in touch”. Having my monthly newsletter done for me makes it simple and easy to stay in touch with my past clients and people thinking about selling. If you’re in real estate, I recommend you use Open Door Marketing’s newsletter because it’s a simple and easy way to stay in touch with your database to ensure you’re top-of-mind so people can refer you or call you when it’s time to buy or sell again.

Worth its weight in gold...creates listing opportunities

The newsletter is worth its weight in gold. It has created new listing opportunities for us. It helps us to stay in touch and top of mind so when people are thinking of selling, we’re the first person they call.
If you want to stand out from all your competitors and be positioned as your local area specialist, I recommend using their newsletter. It’s an effective prospecting system that just goes out every month, consistently keeping your name out there without you having to think about what to write and send each month.
It’s a simple and easy way to stay in touch with your database to ensure you’re top-of-mind so people can refer you or call you when it’s time to buy or sell again. It’s also easy to email to your database

People remember to call me when they're thinking of selling

Keeping in touch with past and present clients is so important in real estate. The easy reading Open Door Marketing newsletter appeals to a wide audience and is a perfect way to do this. It’s informative, sometimes funny, and definitely a non-invasive way to be "top of mind" when people are thinking about real estate. When a previous client emails to thank me for my newsletter every month - then I know it’s working! The newsletter is definitely an added bonus to my business. Regular contact means people remember to call me when they, or someone they know, are thinking of selling.

I know I get listing leads from it

My newsletter saves me a lot of time and is less stress as I don’t have to come up with all the ideas anymore. When I talk to people about the newsletter they are always complimentary about it and I know I do get listing leads from it which is what it is all about. The feedback from my clients is positive and I’m getting more feedback than I used to. I’ve already recommended the Open Door Marketing to a colleague and will continue to recommend them to others.
