I like to think it is the variety of the types of marketing that work hand and hand. I can reduce cost and increase leads by simply writing a blog, promoting said blog and putting n sites like FB. It gets my name and what i do in front of consumers and those i already know, but need constant reminders what i do and that i am here for their real estate needs
