Guest Post: 6 Ways Drones Can Help Your Real Estate Business
Marketing commercial spaces today is hard given the competition and the diminishing number of available properties in the area. Checking online listings are now considered the most viable option with the technology of the present age as you can do and get almost everything with just one click of a button. Today, most potential property buyers also start the hunt by doing a search online.
How do you make the most of your time and your client’s time? Here is where we come in. Invest in Drone Photography and Videography.
If you want to pick the perfect drone for your budget and preferences, I recommend you try this drone searching tool.
Where you can filter some of the most popular drones by range, price, camera and so on.
If you want to get into the action and want a quick choice, just go with the Mavic Air from DJI, a very complete drone for a reasonable price, considering the amazing quality of video it takes.
Here are six ways on how drones can help your real estate business:
- Step up your game. Build your profile online by making an effort to stand out. Like we mentioned, competition is hard since most online listings generate the most leads. What will make your page better than the others? Something that they haven’t seen before. Take the time to produce aerial shots and video clips of properties you are selling so that people will be enticed to have a look. This is also helpful since most people appeal to pictures and videos nowadays rather than the boring narration of the listing.
- Get a better view of the property. With drone shots, you can give your potential clients a full and better view of the property you’re selling. This works for perfectly huge houses and vast lands and estates. Not only will you give them a view of their potential land, but also give them a preview of what is in the perimeter.
- Easy on the budget photography. Aerial photography and videography used to be limited and expensive. With the arrival of drones, these have been made way cheaper and easier. You yourself can do it or you can have a licensed drone pilot to do it for you. It may cost you upfront but the return will be worth it.
- Take it personal. Drone photography and videography gives a personal touch when it comes to presenting your property to your potential clients. Give them a reason to stay on your page for a longer time browsing on the photos and videos that make them feel like they’re there.
- Give them a remote viewing and tour. Real estate agents are almost always on the go, but when a potential client asks about a property, it is imperative that you make the time to cater to them. With a ready profile of beautiful aerial photographs and video clips, you will be able to save not only each other’s time but also save on travel expenses among others.
- Drones are the future of Real Estate marketing. Before we had to make do with what we have. Long drives and limited resources (aka blurry and inaccurate GPS satellite photos), but now as drones come into business, everything will be as clear as a summer’s day.
These venture sure sounds exciting and fun but here are additional tips before we proceed, to avoid unnecessary fuss and possible lawsuits (yikes).
- Ask for permission from the neighborhood first. While drones can be stable in flight, possible crashing can still occur due to several unforeseen circumstances. In line with this, it is better to as for permission first and let the people around you know about your project. Avoid crashing into private property, or worse into people!
- Trust a professional. Make sure your drone pilot is licensed to fly (or just approved by the authorities). The Federal Aviation Administration back in August 2016 gave drone pilots some treat by loosening its restriction on the use of drones. Instead of getting a license form the FAA, you can just get a remote pilot certificate that costs about $150. Also, drones are now approved for commercial use.
- Get a permit. Like I said, if anything happens, just keep it handy. Present it to the authorities since different states have different set of rules and regulations when it comes to flying drones of properties.
With all these said and done, still, nothing beats seeing the property with your own eyes and getting a feel of it for yourself. Best consider these tips for reference and start growing your business today.

Guest Post: Top 5 Reasons Small Businesses Should Do More Live Videos
In their marketing efforts, small businesses usually include videos as a great promotional move. But why should they consider going live more often, rather than uploading promotional videos? Here are top 5 reasons small business owners need to include live videos in their social marketing strategy.
1. Your audience feels more connected
The in-the-now feeling gets your users’ attention and they click on that “Watch Now” button. Don’t ignore the fact that nowadays many people have FOMO – fear of missing out. This means they will sacrifice their time and will procrastinate lots of other important tasks of the day just to feel connected at that very moment.
2. You get more reach and exposure
The chance that your live video will reach to more people is higher than with an uploaded video. This is because they get a notification on the social media channel. This grabs their attention and they become willing to click on it.
Besides, your pre-event social media posts will keep your audience interested in your live video content. They will mark your live video event in their calendar.
3. You can create live video giveaways and/or auctions
Especially if you are a small business owner with a vision of growing and expanding, you should have giveaways and discounts.
One of the best ways to reach more people and keep them engaged is having your contest-giveaway or auction during a live video. The viewers will make comments, their friends will see this in their feed and will join the live video. At least they will get to know your brand and will become your follower.
4. You will create a unique brand reputation
Your company culture and everyday life is interesting for your audience. If you go live from a company event, your followers will see who is behind the brand they are using (or considering to use).
Not only a company event but also the events you take part in, are a great chance to show your audience how active you are and how important it is for you to bring value.
5. You get instant feedback
People are more likely to comment on live videos rather than on blog posts, for example. This is because they feel you are talking to them and as everyone wants to be heard, viewers make comments.
Their thoughts are great way to see what your audience is talking about your brand. This can be a good feedback-gathering format for you as they are willing to share their opinion on the topic.
Remember that responding to comments is essential – at least a “Thank you for your thoughts” is a way to show your audience is heard.
Now that you know the essential reasons businesses should concentrate on live videos, let’s see how you can effectively go live.
3 Important Tricks for Effective Live Video Streaming
No doubt your live video content should be interesting and engaging for your audience. But when it comes to choosing a platform, how do you know which social media platform is right to stream to?
Here comes the trick – you can stream to multiple different channels making sure you are not missing out a platform your audience is in. Multistreaming is the best solution when you want to reach more audience.
When you stream to multiple platforms, you can check the analytics on your multistreaming service. This will give you an understanding of the average duration your audience was engaged with your live video. Moreover, you will see the most used emojis and words, to name a few.
But one question still remains unanswered – how do you make sure your video is polished and you will avoid any kind of failure? Here is when the second trick – go live with pre-recorded video. Yes, you heard it right. You can go live with a pre-recorded, polished video.This will help you have a high-quality live video, with no risk of failure.
Last but not least, ask for help! If you are not a specialist in video marketing, trust the pre-production, on-location shooting, and post-production to specialists. Here are several examples of high-quality videos produced by Uno Deuce Multimedia.
Producing a unique video and scheduling it as live video content will increase the chances of keeping your audience engaged. Sometimes it’s not only the script that seems boring but also the quality of the live video.
Final Thoughts
It is not easy for small businesses to keep their audience engaged. This is why you need to find ways of doubling your marketing efforts and bringing value to your brand followers.
One of the best ways of customer engagement and client retention is producing live video content. Whether you do it yourself or outsource it to professionals, you need to make sure the content is interesting for your target audience.
