A study by HubSpot found that 63% of marketers consider email marketing campaigns their go-to solution for long-term deals.

This can relate to realtor commercial agents. They have deals that take a long time, from a month or more, for them to be closed, so keeping consistent communication is essential.

However, to get the best result, realtors need a working strategy. For this, they need to be professional and know how and when to pitch in their deals and proposals; it is not just one way to be heard but one way to sell.

Here is a list of strategies that can be used to close these deals using email marketing.

Why Email Marketing is a Must for Commercial Property Agents

Real estate agents in the commercial property industry understand well who they are dealing with and why they choose that. Sometimes, they have to work with panels of investors, businesses, and entities with longer sales cycles and paperwork round-ups. This comes with its own set of challenges, unlike the residential property industry. For this, personal meetings and phone calls are not really feasible. Agents need to have a means of communication that is solid and guarantees closing the deal. Email marketing proves to be the best. Some of the reasons included:

Email makes you stay on top of client's clients' minds. Since you can communicate with the client's team at the ideal time, you will have some means of communicating and passing the correct information to them during the sales cycle period.

Emails build trust and credibility: when strategic realtor send out their emails, they know what their clients need and deliver just that straight to their inboxes or communications team; this will position them as the go-to expert and have long-term trust, especially in the industry like commercial property.

Email delivers a higher ROI: according to a study by Litmus, email marketing's average ROI was $36 for every $1 spent, but honestly speaking, this is relatively low in the commercial property industry. Imagine spending only 50 dollars and gaining over 100,000 dollars in sales commission for one property from a client. This is massive and surely needs to be implemented. I can help.

Strategic Email Marketing Tips for Commercial Property Agents.

For emails to work for commercial property agents, they need a strategic approach to their email and communication. It's not just a simple listing and a subscriber; it has to start by understanding the client, what they are looking for, their budget, and their taste. From this information, I use segmentation criteria, which I call the priority canceling technique, where Agents segment subscribers according to what they seek.

For example, if a customer subscribes to my list as an agent, I will look at the form they used for the subscription; from there, I will have a list of clients interested in commercial business suits, residential buildings, a factory site, and more after that I will implement a strategy for their mail here is how

Email personalization for commercial real estate marketing

Personalization goes beyond adding their name in the headline or body. It involves understanding what they are interested in and sending them just that. According to HubSpot, 53% of email marketers see higher conversions from personalized emails than regular newsletters.

• How to Personalize- For you to effectively personalize these emails, use a CRM like HubSpot or any other you can find, and use the data to learn how the client interacts with the content and listings, for example, if they constantly search for office space, your emails to them should either best the best locations to set offices statics for the renting and property value over time and trends and thing to look for from these locations this way you will increase the open rate and furthermore click-through rate to the listings.

Best times to send commercial real estate emails

One question you probably have is what is the best time to send the emails. What I can say for this is that learning the prospect frequency of the open rate through trial and error will work best here because most of these prospects have their own schedule and timing for their activities, and some even have personal assistants. Nailing the best time can only be through testing what works best and actually strategizing to that time.

Time: According to a study, emails sent early in the morning (between 6 and 10 AM) tend to have a higher open rate. This is ideal because sending emails at the start of the day will lead to people opening their inboxes and confirming their plans for the week. In addition, sending emails midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) tends to have a higher engagement rate than on busy days like Mondays and Fridays.

Frequency—The number of times you should send the email purely depends on the number of listings, offers, and communication you have. Sending bi-weekly emails is also appropriate.

Effective email marketing strategies for commercial real estate agents

As a property realtor, you should have clear and engaging messages in your email. You have to speak, but you may wonder what engages in email. Some of the ideas you must have in your strategy include but are not limited to

Key Types of Emails:

1. Listings: Tell your subscribers about the new property that has been added. Invest in quality images and ensure they are appropriately sized to open quickly.

1. Newsletters: Communicate upcoming events, market trends, and what your subscribers should consider investing in. This will position you as a trusted authority.

1. Follow-Ups: Send thank-you emails or follow-ups after property showings, meetings, or events to reinforce connections.

1. Case Studies: Highlight success stories, such as a recently closed deal or a satisfied client testimonial, to build credibility.

Best email Subject lines for real estate agents

View the subject line as the body of the car, and the interior is the message you must design the exterior because it is the first thing your subscribers will see in order to open the mail. When it comes to writing the subject line, you must be very specific; this will go hand in hand with your segmentation level.

For example, a subject line for a follow-up newsletter after an event in Nairobi would be "(prospect name) would you be up for Mombasa property showcase next week?" such you have had to explain at a ago what should be done when they open the mails they will find all the details for the next event that is coming. You will ask for the reviews of the last event. The subject line must be slapped straight and communicated to avoid wasting time with them. Some short tips would be

• Keep it Short and clear- short and sweet is the best.

• Use urgency when appropriate- not always because it sometimes feels spammy.

• Personalize it- this way, you are communicating directly.

A/B testing for real estate email marketing campaigns

The end will always justify the means. You will not be able to know the right way, but if you test, you will come up with data that can help you clearly see the do's and don'ts; always check past mail performance and implement the change in your subsequent campaigns.

Implement A/B Testing on your campaigns. Test different combinations of subject lines, CTA images, and template sites that grab attention. Monitor their performance to determine what works best and reuse that.
