How Can a Realtor® Create or Identify Their Brand?

By Branding, Realtor Marketing

How Can a Realtor® Create or Identify Their Brand?

There are five things you need to identify to form your brand.

1. Identify What You Value – Your personal brand is ultimately a reflection of everything you value. So take time to really think about the things you value in your life. List them. Make sure the values you identify are truly your own because you must believe in and live by them every day. These values will become the foundation for your brand, as well as your personal mission statement.

2. Identify What Makes You Unique – With your values as your foundation, the next step is to determine your specific uniqueness. Everyone is unique and special in some way. How are you different as an individual? How are you unique? And how are your products and services different? Incorporate this uniqueness into your brand.

3. Identify How You Want To Be Perceived – Branding is about other people’s perceptions of you. You have the power to control most of these perceptions with your actions and presentation.

4. Identify Your Specialty – Are you the neighbourhood expert? Are you an experienced real estate investor? If you want to be branded as the best value-added salesperson, then you have to bring extra value to every client or prospect meeting.

5. Identify Your Target Market – The goal of branding is to build customer loyalty. As you’re creating your brand, you need to determine your target market and speak directly to them. You want people to think that your brand will make a difference in their lives, so it must be meaningful to the end user.

Now Write Down Your Brand

Once you have identified the things that make you unique, you can weave them into a brand identity that will make you stand out from the crowd. You have to actually write the statement. A brand is a phrase that jumps out at you from the page and grabs your emotions.

By branding yourself, you separate yourself from the crowd and create a greater impact – for you.

Logo and T-Shirt Design

By Branding, Promotional Item

We were asked by one of our website clients, Star Individuality, if we could design a logo for a T-Shirt which would be sold as a fundraiser.

The Star Individuality Foundation is a 501(c)(3)non-profit FOR purpose organization dedicated to helping the upcoming generation tackled the every day heard statement of “Just be yourself.” with the question that automatically comes after it which is “Who am I?“. The Star Individuality Foundation assists, supports, and motivates the upcoming generation to live a passionate creative and motion-filled lifestyle in order to find their individuality. All proceeds go to support the Star Individuality scholarship fund.

Using the phrase “Imperfect Spells I’m Perfect” we designed a ladies and men’s version. Using the website Represent.com the client uploaded the logos and now they have an online store which they use to market the T-shirts.

About The Cause

Top 50 Branding Companies & Agencies in Vancouver, Canada 2017

By Branding, Design

A recent study of Vancouver Branding companies and agencies by Akihiro Nomura, an SEM/Digital Marketing Specialist at My Loud Speaker has Limelight Marketing tied for 15th with Blast Radius.

The study ranks the 50 companies in order of their monthly Google search volumes using Google Keyword Planner. “For the record, this list isn’t in order of the quality of the marketing agencies – just the search volumes. However, this could be a reflection of how good they are at gaining exposure for themselves or that they’ve simply been in business for a long time.”

Akihiro writes “I would say that there are 2 types of branding out there: Marketing-led branding vs. Design-led branding. Marketing-led branding goes far beyond just a logo or website. It pushes past typefaces and colours. Your brand is how your audience perceives you. It’s their first impression of you.  Through branding, you have the power to tell your story in a way that makes a memorable impact. Our agency gets real results by taking an authentic approach and beginning with a creative strategy.”

At Limelight Marketing we are definitely a Marketing-led agency. Check out our Portfolio and Testimonials as proof.

“Branding can be an arduous, soul-searching and highly philosophical process. And although it’s a process filled with seemingly subjective decisions, we’ve noticed that companies that have a strong idea of their vision, mission and values, tend to be able to build the strongest brands.  These companies have marketing-led branding.  Their goal is to have all their materials reflect one common goal and message.”

“The flip side of the coin is Design-led Branding. This is where clients want to make their blog, brochure or website ‘cool’, ‘modern’ and ‘fresh’. While this is still strategic, it’s priority isn’t to reflect the brand’s marketing message, rather to focus on the aesthetic look”

Ubertor Website Makeover and Update to Responsive

By Branding, Mobile Websites, Responsive Websites, Ubertor, Website Design

We were asked by the Cody Team to update their Ubertor website to a Responsive design that would render perfectly on iPhones, iPads and other handhelds. They also wanted a true mobile site to improve their search engine results.

As part of the makeover we designed a new logo for the team that was more contemporary and easier to add to marketing material.

At the same time we integrated the CREA DDF feed to add more listings to their website and make it more useful to visitors. A top menu on each page allows easy clicking from area to area.  On the home page we added an interesting map with mouse over effect to draw attention to the different areas. The website also has a testimonial slider to showcase what their clients are saying. We also reformatted every page to make them all uniform and  the Active listings page has cool icons.
