RE/MAX Dominates Television In 2009
By Deborah Ball, RE/MAX Times Associate Editor
While some competitors are limiting - or even discontinuing - national television advertising, RE/MAX has a campaign that's alive and well. In fact, three new RE/MAX TV ads reflecting the opportunities consumers have in today's market will debut in February, says David Rea, RE/MAX International Executive Creative Director.
Realogy Corp. subsidiary Century 21 announced this week that it will stop running its national television spots amid current economical woes, according to Inman News. Century 21 says it is shifting focus from TV to online advertising due to changing consumer patterns, but acknowledges that the company's shrinking budget as a result of the housing downturn played a role in the decision.
For its part, RE/MAX plans to continue promoting the brand and the Associates behind it." The economy has led a lot of our competitors to cut back on services to their franchisees and agents, but RE/MAX believes its Affiliates need all the support they can get in times like these," Rea says.
"That's why we'll continue our industry-leading TV and radio advertising, as well as our ever-growing presence on the Internet. "RE/MAX agents don't have to choose between media; they'll continue to get both. The president of C21 says it himself: 'The main benefit of TV advertising is name recognition.' As RE/MAX TV advertising has increased, so has our name recognition - and we've become the undisputed leader."
RE/MAX has led in national TV share of voice for the past seven years, Rea adds. He also notes that the television campaign helps drive traffic to remax.com, which drives more leads to RE/MAX agents and offices through LeadStreet. "We get more hits to the web site when we're running TV commercials," Rea says. "Consumers spend more time watching TV (followed by radio and the Internet) than any other medium. Our media mix reflects consumer consumption. RE/MAX out-delivers other top brands on a regional basis, too, with more locally placed media than any of our competitors." |

We now have 3 full file drawers of development information for neighborhoods throughout the area. These include maps of the development/lots, info about amenities, and tons of floor plans. They are sorted by town and then by development name. Debbie can show you where they are. Just make a copy of any you need. Showing up with a copy of the floor plan is a great aid in closing a listing agreement.
Thank you Debbie for organizing and indexing them and thank you Brian & Nena McCaughey for donating them to us!

Be aware that they are each 20 pages long, so you might want to view them instead of print them. We will be adding developer name and other info to them when we have a chance, so check back later. |
