Mortgage Marketing
W. Edwards Deming said "Marketing and innovation are the only
source of value in business, everything else is a cost". And he
was right.
The only thing that adds to your bottom line is demand for
your product. Demand is created by offering people products they
want (innovation) and effectively communicating the benefits they
will enjoy once they own your product (marketing).
As a mortgage broker you have very limited control over the
innovation part of your business because the loan products
available are offered by your lenders without your input. So that
leaves marketing as the only way for your to add value to your
business.
Once you understand this, it becomes a simple matter to
organize your business into a marketing driven brokerage. Start
by carefully evaluating your marketing and sales skills. Identify
your strengths and weaknesses. Take your time with this exercise.
Write notes. You will need this information later.
Next, identify your target market. Start small and narrow.
Specialize and you will be able to offer better service and
expertise than other brokers that will do any loan that comes to
them.
The easiest way to do this is to find a specific type of loan
program that you think will be profitable. Learn everything you
can about this market segment. Identify every loan provider in
this market. Search for the best deal for your clients and you
will have powerful ammunition when it comes time to market your
product.
Now use your strengths and your target market profile to
select three marketing strategies from the following list.
Friends and Family - Direct Mail - Flyers - Telemarketing -
Press Releases - Broadcast Advertising - Print Advertising -
Articles - Networking - Premiums - Seminars - Surveys - Ethnic
Communities - First-Time Home Buyers - For Sale By Owner -
Internet Marketing
These three strategies should form the basis of your marketing
efforts.
Develop a marketing project for each strategy. Carefully write
you advertisements, define where you will run them and set your
goals. Then develop a process for keeping track of your
expenditures and your results.
Once you have a clear definition of each marketing project you
should pick the most promising one and put it into action. Once
it's up and running move on to your next marketing project.
Once you get your three strategies up you should change your
mindset into one of gathering market data. Always evaluate the
performance of every ad. Make small changes and compare results.
The goal is a process that delivers constant, incremental
improvement of your advertisements.
Over time you will develop very effective ads and thereby
reduce you cost per prospect. Marketing is a slow and tedious
process when done correctly. You must have the patience and
perseverance to keep meticulous records.
But when you do, you slowly develop a huge repository of
customer behavior data. There is no more accurate predictor of
how a customer will act tomorrow than looking at what they did
yesterday.
