YachtMinder's Proven Methods Provide Superior Results
The
elegant factor of YachtMinder’s successful marketing plan is that we
present all advertising for
our listings so that each buyer inquiry goes directly to the Listing Agent for the
specific yacht. This effective approach immediately connects all
prospective buyers with the brokerage agent that knows the particular
yacht the best.
The
Details of our Methodology:
-
Our Listing Agents establish a rapport with the seller and personally
inspect the yacht to compose detailed listing specifications, inventory
list, and the photos used for our specifications brochure and an on-line
photo tour of the yacht. This process provides our agents with a
comprehensive and first-hand knowledge about each of their listings.
Thus by directing all buyer inquiries about the yachts we present for
sale to the listing agent, our selling clients can be assured that all
prospective buyers for their yacht will receive a prompt and very qualified response to their
inquiries.
-
Each buyer inquiry goes directly to the Listing Agent's cell phone. Not
only does this ensure a prompt and knowledgeable response to all
inquiries, it supplies each YachtMinder Agent with the real-time market
input required to keep their selling clients well informed throughout
the sales cycle.
-
YachtMinder produces professional .PDF (Adobe) brochures for each
listing. Proofed for accuracy and easily emailed or printed from the
YachtMinder website, these Adobe formatted brochures
allow us to quickly distribute a polished presentations for each of our listings
to our database of prospective buyers, and to other yacht brokers.
-
YachtMinder employs a comprehensive International marketing program for
its listings that include a detailed on-line presentation of the
yacht's specifications and a carefully crafted photo tour at our
in-house website. We then
create custom Web- Ads that link to our main website presentations and
post these Web-Ads to the most popular yacht sales web sites: the Yacht
Brokerage MLS (YachtWorld), boats.com, BoatsUS, and to our high volume
advertising venues on Yahoo.com, Google.com, and Craig's List.
-
Each YachtMinder on-line listing display includes our proprietary
formula for presenting a virtual showing photo tour. When a photo tour
is accessed our website simultaneously transmits the viewer's
specific contact information to the Listing Agent's cell phone. Then by
responding in real-time with a phone call to the contact, our listing
agents transform each photo tour of their listings into a personalized
multi-media sales presentation.
-
The
attractive
all-weather "Yacht For Sale" signs that we display aboard each listing
prominently display the listing agent's name, cell phone number, and the
Internet location for downloading a brochure and viewing a photo tour of
the yacht. Like the rest of our advertising, our signage provides
each prospective buyer with an an on-the-spot ability to contact the
listing agent for each yacht we offer for sale, regardless of business
hours.
-
Therefore, from anywhere and at any time, each YachtMinder agent may
immediately respond to all interest in their listings, and each of our
selling clients can be assured that no sales opportunities for their
yacht will be missed.
-
YachtMinder's unique ability to collect buyer contact information
continually adds to our listing-specific database of prospective
buyers. We use this database to notify relevant groups of buyers when
new information becomes available about a yacht they had expressed an
interest in, and to notify them when we acquire a new listing that fits a
previously indicated interest.
-
Proactive use of our buyer database to promote new listings has proven
to be a very effective tool for quickly generating buyer interest in advance of
our broader range of marketing. (Note: We do note share our buyer database
information with any third parties).
-
In addition to expedient sales, the result of our methods is that 90% of our listings are sold with
the listing agent serving both the buyer and the seller. This ensures a
non-adversarial atmosphere for purchase negotiations, prompt and clear
broker facilitated communications between buyer and seller, and
expedient closings.
