Handling SMS unsubscribes

8/4/2021

0 Comments

SMS has a high open rate, and recipients will opt-out when they've found a property or are no longer in the market. That said, many people will happily receive your weekly email even when they've opted out of your SMS alerts.

When a contact opts out, cut and paste their mobile number into the Fax field. This way you'll still be able to see their number if you need to call them, and the phone lookup system will also be able to find their number. Labeling their number as Fax automatically ensures a contact won't mistakenly receive an SMS alert in the future.

It's also important to retain mobile number data because this is the best way to re-target audiences on social media advertising platforms.

Be grateful when people help you clean up your database, because you don't have to waste any time following them up.

In Gallery Tools, Export Listing to CSV, added Data Fields Only drop down menu option. Optimised for SalesPartner to SalesPartner listing transfers.
Fixed a development bug where Listing Lookup showed no results.
Discussed filtering contacts by values / ranges - Production is a good field for this because it was designed for numerical data. EG filtering a list of property owners (as contacts) using their floor or land area.
Fixed a development version issue with synchronizing.
Created a tool in System Maintenance for migrating legacy notes into the new note field.
New: Vimeo links supported for Realestate.co.nz feeds.

If you're looking for an app that can convert scanned PDF images to searchable text Wondershare PDFelement is the best we've used so far.

There are many online converters that manage small docs fine but if your scan document is larger than a few pages you'll need a desktop application to run OCR.

WondersharePDFelement can convert scanned fine print for over a 100 pages into a searchable text document.

Why you should love getting unsubscribes

2/4/2021

In a recent workshop the subject of weekly emails and annoying people with spam arose. Here is how you should approach getting unsubscribes.

1. Filters

When you get an unsubscribe, it means your email reached the recipient directly in their inbox and they saw it instead of going straight into promotions or flagged as spam. Gmail unsubscribes give me a boost because it is so easy to get filtered. I would be concerned if I wasn't getting unsubscribes because of this reason. The same holds with any mail server (Outlook, Yahoo) which could blacklist your sender domain or SMTP at any time.

2. You get time back

You no longer need to follow up with that person. You can now take that time you would've spent on them and use it to find more people who do want to work with you. As a bonus many servers charge you for every email you send per month so it's win-win.

3. Your customer has made a decision

You have helped them in their journey towards finding a property, taking a break, or deciding who to work with. Whatever the case may be, we wish them all the best.

Notes:

It is positive when people unsubscribe and don't report your email as spam.
We can use feedback to constantly strive improve our content.

The social media channels have conquered the problem by effectively hiding everyone who has muted or un-followed you.
