Automate Your Email Marketing Using Drip Campaigns

A “drip campaign” is an automated email series that go to prospects and/or existing borrowers. It will keep your name in front of prospects and clients alike, while educating and engaging them. Ready to get started?

  • Prepare your email database by sorting it into two or more groups, then adding more recipients. Begin by separating prospects from established borrowers, then separating borrowers by type. Your groups may include first-time homebuyers, repeat clients, real estate investors, and future retirees.
  • Compose and send tailored content to each group. Tell them how you can assist them with achieving their plans. A drip campaign to repeat clients might contain solutions to inventory shortages, while a first-time buyer campaign can advise how to prepare for homeownership.
  • Manage the campaigns with an email tool like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or Constant Contact. These enable you to schedule each drip email’s launch in advance. Another big plus: they will automatically begin sending emails to new contacts when you add them to a group.3

Agents can position themselves as experts on the site for a small monthly membership fee, and build trust by crafting thoughtful replies to real estate-related questions, like “How much will I pay in commission if I sell my house?” and “What closing costs should I expect to pay?” 4

Three Strategies for Achieving Work-Life Balance in Real Estate

  • Know how many clients you can handle at onceTaking on too many clients leads to stress and overwork. Pre-determine how many clients you can serve at one time and keep a “waiting list” when you hit your maximum.
  • Set boundaries on your timeIt’s easy to let the line between work hours and personal hours blur. Use time blocks to schedule your day, including time for replying to emails and returning texts and phone calls.
  • Hire an assistantAn assistant can take administrative tasks off your plate, giving you time to put back in your day so you can focus on what’s truly important.5
