Tips for Using Instagram Custom Audiences for Your Real Estate Business
Here are some tips on how to use Instagram Custom Audiences strategically for your real estate business:
1. Use Instagram Custom Audiences to remind people about your brand
If you have a client who wants to buy or sell a home in the future, it’s a great idea to remind them of what they liked about your service so far. If they liked the way you handled their last transaction, send them a message saying “I hope we get the chance to work together again soon!” This will help increase their interest in working with you again and give them an incentive to contact you when they are ready to move forward with another transaction.
You can also target messages at clients who have recently viewed listings on your website or missed out on one of your last few open houses by asking them if there is anything else we can do for them today!
2. Reach out to people who have viewed your listings and didn’t buy from you
If someone has viewed one of your listings and didn’t buy it from you, use custom audiences to reach out to them. This way, they’ll know that other properties are available if they are still interested in buying real estate from you!
3. Reach out to prospects who haven’t engaged yet
If someone hasn’t contacted you yet about buying or selling a home but is interested in learning more about you, use the Custom Audiences feature to reach them. You can target people who have viewed your profile but not messaged you. This way, you can get their attention and let them know that you’re available for any questions they may have about your services.
