RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL <strong>REIA</strong> MEETING<br />

A good friend of mine who's very successful in real estate and a<br />

variety of other businesses once said, "I'd rather not sit in an airplane<br />

while it's going down. Instead, I'd rather just jump out of the plane<br />

and build my parachute on the way down." While that sounds a little<br />

scary, it's worked out pretty well for him. I would encourage you <strong>to</strong><br />

take the same approach in our marketing plan.<br />

All of the suggestions in this chapter can be used <strong>to</strong>gether. A<br />

successful promotional campaign will make use of a variety of<br />

different methods that all complement each other. These methods<br />

work <strong>to</strong>gether, each one strengthening the other, until you've created<br />

a truly irresistible campaign that has people beating down the doors<br />

<strong>to</strong> your event.<br />

Always keep the big picture in mind and develop a <strong>to</strong>tal campaign<br />

strategy that targets as many different niches, groups, and<br />

individuals as possible. While each one of these methods is helpful,<br />

using them <strong>to</strong>gether is what makes them truly powerful. Take some<br />

time <strong>to</strong> create a full-featured campaign strategy that not only focuses<br />

on an individual event but considers the success of the group and all<br />

future events as well. This is the key <strong>to</strong> hosting one incredibly<br />

popular event after another.<br />
