LIV Sotheby’s International Realty – Crested Butte Marketing Plans
LIV Sotheby’s International Realty – Crested Butte and its brokers have the most comprehensive marketing plan for your property in Gunnison County. We do more marketing, higher quality marketing, broader reach and better reporting than any other real estate firm in the area. If you are looking to list your property make sure to talk to one of our brokers first. We will provide you with an extensive marketing plan to help sell your home or property in the Crested Butte and Gunnison areas.
Newspaper Ads
Our office policy on newspaper advertising is to run larger property ads during the busy/holiday weeks of our tourism schedule and to run smaller image ads during off periods of the tourism schedule. This way we are able to keep a presence in the local community while still supporting the local newspaper.
Magazine Advertising
For the reason of a longer shelf life and a more high quality print than compared to a newspaper, we at least try to get some exposure. Last year we also tried an ad in United Airlines SkyWest Magazine, a national publication distributed in their airlines, with no success at all. For this reason we like to try to limit our advertising to more of a focused plan with local magazines. The one drawback with magazine advertising is the high cost of the ads which also limits how many and how big of ad you can place, with some national publications topping over $25,000 for a full page ad.
Semi-Annual Real Estate Brochure | Collection
The majority of our print advertising is done in our semi-annual real estate brochure, ‘The Collection’. With a circulation of 3,500 to 5,000 magazines distributed per edition, we are not only able to target customers who are in the market for real estate, but in the market for real estate in Crested Butte. We are also able to advertise every single one of our listings, no matter if they are a $6,000,000 ski in/ski out house on the mountain or a $70,000 residential lot in CB South.
‘The Collection’ over the years has been one of the best forms of advertising in the whole Crested Butte area to advertise your property, with approximately 10,000 pairs of eyes seeing your property over a years time just in this one publication.
Online Advertising
Being part of the Sotheby’s International Realty network our listings are pushed out to more third party real estate search sites than any other agency in the valley as long as the meet the minimum requirements provided by the Sotheby’s International Realty Quality Control Team. We also have a featured company showcase listings on Realtor.com so our listings will be more likely to be clicked on than agencies that are not part of the featured company showcase listings.
Social Media
We also advertise and promote our properties and our brand through all of our social media outlets. Check out our social media pages below and subscribe to them to stay up with the latest real estate and Crested Butte news.
