The world of e-marketing continues to be the most effective and least expensive method of marketing. This is particularly true with real estate agents who have the formidable task of staying in touch with clients and prospects for long periods of time. While agents have a wide choice of platforms to choose from, including commercially available products and proprietary platforms provided by their own agencies, few of these provide any professional content, instead relying upon the time pressed real estate agent to create their own content as well as manage their own mailing lists and delivery schedule. A system that "touches" agents' contacts twice per month with outstanding professionally written articles containing compelling content is the basic strategy of the HomeActions platform. In addition, HomeActions provides cradle to grave customer support to help busy agents create a contact database via their free Organize-IT service. In this way HomeActions has created the first turnkey e-Prospecting system for the real estate agent. This places HomeActions in a unique position to create the first comprehensive email marketing statistics study.

Since HomeActions produces the majority of the content for each newsletter, the study is unique and definitive. We plan to produce an annual study and track trends in the real estate industry as well as best practices. The HomeActions study Email Marketing Statistics for Residential Real Estate Agents reinforces the importance of email marketing as a means for real estate agents to reach their clients and prospects. Managing effectively the pipeline of clients and prospects of real estate agents is perhaps one of the most important action plans for a successful real estate agent. This study is based solely on our customer base and includes more than 10 million emails delivered by real estate agents to their clients and prospects. This report examines several critical email marketing metrics, including click through rates and open rates, over the course of two years. It also explores the performance of each geographic region based on various list sizes as well as launch day. The study concludes with important tips to increase e-marketing success.
