Real Estate Marketing - Symbols That Generate Leads

By Peter Vice


An individual logo's primary job is to stimulate your client's memory so that with simply a glance, your identity is strengthened in your prospect's mind. When done correctly a brand gives you a powerful subconscious advantage in the mind of the customers. It'll make a good marketing program better and make your clients feel more relaxed calling you.

The query is,"How do you know what a great private brand looks like? Most agents struggle with the answer because they get puzzled about who they are attempting to please. Yes, My opinion is that in the end, it's what the purchaser feels about your logo that matters. However , the actuality is that what customers think and feel about a logo is basically shaped over a period of time by how to use your symbol to communicate your message to them.

The Check Mark That Modified Advertising

Think about the Nike Swoosh. When it first appeared, it was mocked by many that it was simply a check mark. But over the course of time Nike has turned into one of the most powerful emblems in the world. In latest study in the Book of Brand Management, when a grouping of buyers were shown the swoosh and asked what image it brought to mind, they made an image of athletics,success, independence, winning, quality and many other positive adjectives. It's still a check mark but the meaning and price are created by how you utilise a logo not in the brand itself.

So first and foremost when referring to a brand, you need to understand that art is totally subjective. What you see and what I see and what your prospects see are all very different. So the very first thing to search for in making your personal brand is something that resonates with you. The best private logos are truly a reflection of who somebody is, not what they do.

If you are a warm and caring person, you wish to use earth tone colours and utilise a flowing font style and graphics. If you're more analytical, you will go with blues and more formal fonts and complex ordered lines. It's also necessary to remember that simplicity is power. Do not have too much happening in your brand. A single graphic component is virtually always the most effective way to go.

Go With Your Tum

The genuine key when evaluating your own trademark is not to consider what it suggests, but to get in touch with how you feel when you look at it. Thinking too much will only make the method unpleasant and exasperating. One of my best logo artists latterly let me know all about a customer who continuously asked what was her sense behind this or that part of the symbol that she was at work on for them. When she told him it was because she got a feeling that it represented his personality, he virtually became unglued trying to work out the theory behind it. The secret is to acknowledge that it's simply a feeling.

That said, there are a couple of things you need to avoid in a symbol, even though they feel right to you. First, keep clear of the overused pictures, like homes, doors, windows and sold signs. They've been so overused that they'll never distinguish you from your competitors and are never actually a mirrored image of who you are as an individual. Also , do not use your company colors in your logo or you will become absolutely invisible when used anywhere near your company's symbol.

The nastiest of all is using your picture in your logo. Photo emblems were designed as a cheap method of creating a symbol that doesn't require any real creativity or consideration, simply placing a picture next to a name. It has no more differentiating ability than an agent's picture alone. Remember, your logo is a long-term identifier that should build value goodwill and saleability over a period. Your picture will be superseded in one or two years and then you'll have to restart with a new symbol.

Photograph emblems are very good for the companies selling them because you have got to keep purchasing another one every few years. But whenever you change your logo, it's like you are always starting over. Additionally , if you utilize your logo in little sizes, which you will do, a photo trademark does not reduce well, especially in full body shots, making your face unrecognizable. When you have advertisements with a great graphic part to draw the reader's attention, a picture trademark competes for attention and ends up making the ad look disordered - especially if the brand is sufficiently big to make the agent's picture look great - thereby reducing the overall effectiveness of the ad.

Do It Right, Do It Once

Since your private real estate logo is a long term identifier you're going to use for next 20 years or more, begin by contracting a private trademark artist that does them for a living. Not a graphic hobbyist who. Just loves to be creative. 2nd, trust your gut. Go with the brand that you feel best about even though you cannot logically say why. Don't show your choices to other agents in your office, as they will completely confuse you, battering you with masses of statements about what your brand means to them.

The key to remember is that when any person, including your customers, sees your trademark for the 1st time, it has no meaning. Over time , thru the consistent use of your private brand, it will come to encapsulate the sum total of your image.
