ATLANTA — Carol Flammer, managing partner of Internet marketing, public relations and social media firm mRELEVANCE, LLC, helps home builders and real estate professionals navigate the world of social media with her new book, “Social Media for Home Builders: It’s Easier Than You Think.” Released by BuilderBooks, the publishing arm of the National Association of Home Builders, the straightforward guide walks readers through building a social media program and measuring return on investment (ROI).
As the newest form of permission-based marketing, social media marketing programs can build brand, engage consumers and increase leads for home builders. Flammer builds a case for the importance of social media programs then guides newcomers and experienced online marketers alike through the components of planning, set up, implementation and evaluation. Site-specific instructions tell readers how to build a presence on universal outlets like Facebook and Twitter and industry-specific sites such as Trulia and ActiveRain.
Nicole Nicolay, author of Agent Evolution, says, “Flammer provides you with the know-how to create a powerful online home base (your business blog/Web site) and gives you the subsequent skills to direct targeted traffic from a variety of social networks back to your Web site. [‘Social Media for Home Builders’ is] an absolute must-read for home builders looking to gain online exposure, reach their target audience, and distance themselves from the competition.”
