2. Categorize your list. In order to hit your goal, you need to define your target. To get the best results of your email campaign, personalization and segmentation is crucial. No one wants to receive a message that has nothing to do with them. If you are a buyer, you wouldn’t appreciate receiving emails that are intended for sellers. Categorize your list and your email will be more than appreciated.

3. Add value to your email campaign. Before sending emails, ask yourself first, if you are the one receiving the email, would you read it or immediately delete it? You should send an email that your recipient is expecting and wanted. Give them what they want and expect from you.

4. Create Interesting Subject and Add Call to Action. Your subject should define what’s inside the email. It will tell what value they would be getting and how you can help them. In your email, add a call to action at the footer and link it to your sales page. If they are interested in the subject, they will definitely get excited to get to the sales page.

5. Analyze your campaigns. Mailchimp has performance tracker. Take advantage of it and use it to the fullest. Check your campaigns if they are doing well. Check the rates of the email opened and analyze which topic they like the most. Analyzing your campaign will help you test and tweak it until you’ve discovered the perfect campaign for your real estate business.

Always bear in mind that the newsletter is more about building a relationship with your prospects, previous clients and future clients. Always be helpful and add value to their lives and they will surely love receiving your emails and be more than willing to engage.
