The partnership provides Real Estate Book advertisers with a TREB.me Digital Identity Website free of charge. The product organizes and aggregates an individual’s online identities into one memorable Website. “Agents can create a Digital Identity Website that includes everything from links to their own Website, Facebook page, LinkedIn account, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube channel plus professional profiles on RealEstateBook.com or any other site,” said Rebecca Chandler, Vice President of Marketing for NewPoint Media Group. “It solves the problem for the agent of being scattered all over the Web and creates a ‘digital identity’ allowing their clients and potential clients to see their complete story in one place,” Chandler added.
The TREB.me/Follr dashboard also allows agents to send updates to multiple social outlets and their TREB.me wall from a single post along with statistical tracking and additional reporting available through either Google Analytics or an enhanced Follr account. “Agents can post to multiple social outlets from a single screen which not only helps them keep their social marketing on track, but also saves them time and effort,” Chandler said. “It’s a very effective tool that also creates a new level of efficiency for the busy agent.”
