If you are visiting this Blog for the first time chances are you received an e-mail from me. I have been using e-mail blasts as a means to reach out to the industrial property community for about a year now. Every week I work on adding more e-mail addresses to my database. I now have about 1200 e-mail addresses that I regularly send to. I try to limit my messages to only once, maybe twice a month max. I do not want to be known as a spammer and only try to send out valuable market information.
You may have noticed that I use Constant Contact as an e-mail management system. Using Constant Contact has a number of advantages that I like. For example, one of my favorite features is it shows me who has opened my e-mail message, and also shows me who has opened any attachments or links. If I see that someone has opened my e-mails numerous times, or if they have clicked on a specific property brochure I will usually call that person to follow up and see if I may be of assistance. Constant Contact also allows people to opt out or unsubscribe, which is great because the last thing I want to do is annoy anyone.
I certainly understand that many people are just curious about what is going on the market, and that is fine. I also understand that timing is critical in the real estate game and that it helps to send out messages once a month to stay top of mind.
I probably do not update this blog as much as I should. For me, it is more like a digital resume where people can go to learn a little more about me.
Thanks for stopping by.
