5 Reasons to Take M-commerce Seriously

M-commerce, or commerce via mobile devices, is the future of business in America, and a new eMarketer survey hammers home that fact.

M-commerce, short hand for shopping via mobile devices, used to be a fledgling component of the American economy, but a new study from eMarketer has drawn some startling projections on how m-commerce will grow in the coming years.

Already 15 percent of the online retail marketplace (up from just 7 percent in 2011), m-commerce is expected to grow to 25 percent of the online market by 2017 and total more than $108 billion.

As we’ve written before, that is huge news for a business as dependent on marketing and clientele as residential real estate. Marketing/advertising are consistently among the largest expenses for real estate agents, but in order to be effective, agents must devote their resources to whatever platforms attract the most consumers – and though everyone and their dog knows that mobile platforms are the way of the future, eMarketer’s research finds that tablets, among all m-commerce platforms, are the key ingredient to focus on, whether you’re taking advantage of mobile apps, such as Trulia or Realtor.com, buying advertising for the mobile version of a popular website or consulting mobile-ready designs for your own personal website, the message in the back of your mind should be one thing: tablets, tablets, tablets.

  5. Every real estate agent has used some form of real estate postcard marketing over the span of their career. Yet many of these agents waste thousands of dollars a year because they don't make smart decisions about who to send their real estate mailings to and what the mailings should contain. As an agent for the past decade, I have made a fantastic living by using real estate mailings to generate expired real estate listings. This article will explain how I do it and how you can use real estate postcard marketing to beat your competition and dominate your local market. The best part is, if you use these steps, you'll save thousands of dollars every year on your mailings and sell more houses than you ever have! fha loan las vegas

  6. Everyone knows that the latest economic bubble to burst had a lot to do with the real estate industry. And as a result, the entire real estate industry has taken a huge hit in terms of value, investor confidence, as well as in many other ways. This is bad news for those who are now underwater on their mortgages (they owe more on their mortgage than their home is actually worth), and it may seem like bad news for real estate professionals as well. But this is not necessarily the case for those that are able to generate enough real estate leads. best mortgage lenders las vegas
