Myths about real estate digital marketing:

1. Digital Marketing is expensive

   Firstly, in digital marketing, you have to get yourself listed as a broker or a firm on all digital or online platforms. Your website must be listed on Google, and you must have your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles updated.

   The only expense that one might incur at this stage will be for hosting a website. These charges may vary depending upon service providers and starts around INR 999 a year.

    

   So, having a digital presence does not cost you a single penny; only promotions do. Now, if one chooses to promote their brand through Google search ads, Facebook ads, and other social and digital platforms, your expenses are somewhere around INR 5000 a month for around 100 odd leads.

2. You will need a big marketing team

   Again a BIG No! With a lot of free tools available in the market starting form web-designing to social posting and creative designing online, one can create and post ads by himself. All these tools are user-friendly and can be easily managed by a single person.

3. Marketing is technical

   Marketing certainly has significant use of technology; however, this is not so technical that it cannot be managed. Marketing through digital channels came into the picture so that the entire marketing process becomes both cost effective and easy to execute. With the amount of data these channels provide, one can quickly gauge profoundly insightful and indicative buyer trends.
