expanded selection of personal promotion flyers that you can create with just a

buyers a snapshot of recently sold homes in an area, as well as other real
estate-related material in a very concise and professional printed informational
package.
Logo and Image Library – contains an abundance of photos and
logos available for you to use for market promotional pieces. The images include
imagery relating to diversity shots, along with architectural images within a
house or outside, yard signs, open house and listing presentation images, as

included in the library are many different ERA logos, program logos and
certification logos.
My Marketing Manager: Powered by ERA® – allows you to
build trust and awareness of the ERA brand in the area you serve and grow
your business by delivering a consistent message to potential customers via
traditional and online media.
Media – We have made an effort to ensure that our ads inform
as well as entertain, and project an engaging personality that makes them stand
out from the competition. Our success is proof that our commercials make a
positive impression on our customers, in addition to the industry recognition we
have garnered by winning two prestigious Telly Awards. *
Internet Advertising – Online advertising has become an
indispensable tool for the real estate industry, with NAR studies reporting that
nearly 80% of homebuyers start their search on the Web. Continuing a tradition
of technical innovation, ERA Real Estate® is pushing the boundaries of this
powerful medium by creating, rich media banner ads with content that draws
consumer interest, and by using technology that pinpoints a viewer's location.
Ad units are reinforced by eye catching banner ads that deliver consistent brand
messaging and feature a sleek new look and feel that will set the tone for all
ERA advertising and marketing efforts.
* Subject to change.
Effective Branding –
Brand Image: In neighborhoods all over this country and around the
globe, the bright red, white and blue ERA sign is recognized as the
symbol of the highest degree of real estate professionalism. Behind that sign is
our total dedication to more creative and effective marketing of homes. We are
successfully building the ERA global brand name through television and
other mass media. Whether on television, on the Internet, in local newspapers,
or in direct mail and brochures – the ERA marketing programs always
reflect our commitment to selling houses, and our equally strong commitment to
raising the ethics and standards of our industry.
Awareness vs. Activity: Our marketing programs utilize a two-fold
approach of national image and direct response television buying designed to not
only increase brand awareness and deliver frequency, but to also drive leads to
our member offices. In addition, we are constantly working at the local level to
create a steady flow of new buyers and sellers.
