Using Social Media to Grow Your Commercial Real Estate Business

 Posted on January 25, 2018 in Commercial Real Estate

Growing a commercial real estate business is no easy task, and the more saturated the market gets, the more difficult promoting your business becomes. To stay in the competition, real estate investors are encouraged to utilize today's more powerful marketing tool: social media. Learn more in the following sections, and discover how a commercial real estate attorney can help protect your business from the most commonly experienced issues in the market.

Why Use Social Media?

Social media use has grown exponentially over the last several years. It is where consumers connect with friends and family. It is also where they gain information regarding where they should spend and invest their money. On the one hand, this is a positive thing, as it gives consumers more choices, but it can also make it difficult for smaller, start-up businesses to attract the kind of attention they need to grow.

Social Media Strategies for Growing Your Business

While much of your social media strategy will be based on the clientele you are serving and the unique aspects of your business, one can turn to some of the most successful commercial real estate accounts to gain some insight on using social media in an effective way. For example, one New York agency uses a consistent theme; they focus on posting high-quality photos of businesses, people, and neighborhoods that are of interest to their consumers on Instagram. Theoretically (and most likely), this attracts new tenants to their buildings.

In other words, to develop a successful and tailored social media plan, you will want to first consider what may be most important to your clients. What are their needs, and how do you meet them? Then focus on using a strategy that pulls them in. Business owners are also discouraged from posting political views, rants, and other statuses that paint them in a negative light. It is also recommended that commercial real estate investors use memes, motivational quotes, and other content that is not related to their business sparingly.

How an Attorney Can Help You Grow Your Business

Social media can attract new clientele, but new clients are only a positive thing when you are adequately prepared.
