Text messages are direct and immediate, making them an effective way to keep in touch with your clients or prospective clients. Here are some engaging text ideas for staying connected:
Make it Specific
Personalization isn’t just including their name. Add details that show you know them. For example, “I remember you were looking for more space for your dog. This property with a large fenced-in yard and a dog park nearby made me think of you.”
Piggyback on Special Occasions
Looking to follow up or reconnect? Holidays, birthdays, and home purchase anniversaries are a great time to reach out with an invite to get together for coffee.
Help Your Clients Make Informed Decisions
Share a key stat about a specific ZIP code or neighborhood. Through MarketViewer, a market analytics tool available exclusively to Texas REALTORS®, you have access to data on vacancy rates, sales, inventory, and more.
Showcase Your Value
Do you have a recommendation for a reliable contractor? What about for staging, photography, or notary services? Remind your clients that you serve as a valuable resource beyond finding and selling a home.
Since texts count as calls, familiarize yourself with do-no-call rules to understand how the law applies when you text current, recent, or prospective clients.
