It is most certainly true that the inflated values, the HELOC irresponsibility from the banks down to consumer have played the largest role in the market normalizing... I cannot help but to wonder how much 'over-analysis' of the web as a marketing tool played in this mess... I just brings me back to the last point about print being a medium that is really in the pole position. All this over speculation in the web has left the door right open for the agents who need, and or want to brand themselves through a nicely printed marketing piece.

(I've promoted my professional blog differently since it's not intended for a specific neighborhood). The postcards worked great and I'm sure the flyer method would too. Thanks for the great ideas!

There are a few places I hadn't thought of advertising. Lydia, as far as tracking ROI, its often hard. I always ask clients how and where they found me. Thanks for the tips.

On the front was a screen-shot of my blog with the words "Visit my blog" at the top in bold and the blog address at the bottom in bold. On the back was a screen-shot of one of my posts. It worked well initially, I met a few local contacts... But yes I could have followed up on it better. I posted the fliers at the more local coffee houses and distributed them at the local caravans (this was a hit). Oh and Robeks is pretty cool because they have that community bulletin board. I won a free office party :-) Here's a sample of the flier I created for Bridget Armstrong in Eugene Oregon. She put it this little piece together for her local morning bagel shop (she writes some GREAT community posts). http://flickr.com/photos/25250804@N03/2438448832/ When I was in Pasadena I put together some fliers (front & back) on 8.5×11 sheets of paper.

I hope some of you give it a try and let me know if it helped you in any way. Give Larry a call--- I'm sure he could offer some suggestions based on his experience. If we all help each other and share ideas that work maybe we can reduce the statistic Mike Farmer mentioned in jest. Thanks all.

I use Moo cards that I include in mailings and note cards, and I leave those in different places. I do really like this brochure idea - I'll have to tinker around with that and see what I can come up with. Love it! I like this brochure idea to promote my blog.
