BROKER AND AGENT INTERNET MARKETING SEMINARS: PRESENTED BY LISTHUB

Wrist began utilizing ListHub last month to syndicate our listings to our national channel partners. ListHub provides a free account for each office. We encourage each office to register, as it is through this account that you can maximize your marketing effort, report listing discrepancies on the Internet and most importantly, the ability to acquire marketing reports about the online activity of your listings.

We conducted webinars last month and will be hosting ListHub seminars at the WRIST office in June. A session for brokers and office managers is scheduled for June 16, 2010 at 10:00 am. An additional session for agents will be offered the same day at 2:00 pm.

Please follow the instructions in the link provided below to register. Please note that most of the two agendas were reviewed during the webinars last month.

NEW FREE SLIDESHOWS

The WRIST Directors are pleased to announce that the implementation and soft rollout are now complete and all members of WRIST will now receive automated slideshows for free!

The process requires nothing more than for the member to upload three or more photos to each listing and is applied to any listing that has not yet made a virtual tour.

Since virtual tours are much more in demand from the public than just photos, the slideshows should not overwrite a tour and will be replaced if a tour is made at a later date. The slideshows will work with more than three photos but three photos are the minimum requirement for a slideshow. Once the slideshow is automatically produced it will be sent out to our online channel partners.

The WRIST directors believe this will be a beneficial tool to assist the membership with their online marketing and still provide a competitive advantage to the members who use virtual tours.

The slideshow offering is completely automated and a valuable benefit for all WRIST members.
