Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

I didn't take it that way at all. My response was not intended as defensive - just trying to explain where I am in this.



In an ideal world there would be a blank piece of paper - and a...

Thanks for the feedback :thumb:.

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

I understand that - the trick is going to be to incorporate that into the Website (and the Broker's working practices - well outside my remit!).

Fundamentally the fella concerned is a straight...

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

What about offering Punters a free (YW style) FSBO listing page for them to input themselves? and / or a short (boat specific) "add me to your seach engine" form so folks can instead use own FSBO...

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

I think "call for more details" also comes from laziness :rolleyes:. I certainly agree with you that a counterproductive approach.

IMO the best salesman is.......the buyer themselves :thumb: so...

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

The "special camera" thing kinda rules that one out - but when it gets cheaper (free? :whistling:) / easier to use I would not rule it out. So definately one for the future rather than now.

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

What I meant was "upgraded" etc in 1991 - rather than the word "new"........but upon reflection, perhaps new in 1991 is better :confused:.....as self-explanatory.

Anyway a detail for later.

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

It's 9 x 5 in miles :p....but we have IRO of 100,000 people here. 3 Marinas plus lots of mud moorings (tidal). IIRC, there are 3 or 4 other Brokers around - all bigger (by listings), in fact I have...

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

Re: Content Ideas for a Broker's Website - Ideas Wanted!

The plan is to list every last bit of equipment - apart from helping a buyer (to buy!) - a list will need to done at time of sale. To my mind just makes sense to do that from day 1 when both Vendor...
