In this episode of the Unstoppable Real Estate Agents Podcast, Kim shares invaluable insights on how to overcome this hurdle by creating a VIP group on Facebook to nurture past clients and ensure lasting engagement. Be sure to listen to the full episode to discover Kim’s strategies for transforming groups into real estate referral goldmines and take your client relationships to the next level.
Facebook groups have been around for years and are a powerful tool, even for the younger generation that might prefer Instagram. The key is to make your group stand out by first setting it up correctly. Start by giving your group a name and create a custom domain for it. Design a beautiful cover image and consider adding valuable resources like seasonal checklists for homeowners.
Once your group is set up, engage your members with polls to understand their needs and interests. Plan out your activities on a monthly or quarterly basis to ensure consistency. Share relevant content such as upcoming events, local organizations’ activities, and community news. Encourage interaction by asking members about their plans for the weekend or seeking recommendations for local attractions.
In addition to providing valuable content, consider hosting monthly giveaways to keep your members engaged. You can also leverage your VIP group to generate a secondary income through affiliate marketing. By promoting products or services within the group, you can earn commissions while providing value to your members.
Remember to invite past clients, active clients, and referrals to join your VIP group. Send personalized invitations via email, text, or direct message, and follow up with those who haven’t responded. Keep the group exclusive to maintain its value and encourage word-of-mouth referrals.
Creating a VIP group on Facebook is a powerful way to build relationships with your clients and establish yourself as a trusted authority in your market. By providing valuable content, fostering engagement, and exploring monetization opportunities, you can create a thriving community that benefits both you and your members.
