Many clients are not aware that the friendly people who call themselves mortgage brokers are actually working for a licensed company that has purchased the rights (somehow) to call itself a mortgage brokerage firm. But the firms themselves are often unapproachable corporate entities - so it is not the 'mortgage broker' that people actually want to speak with, but the friendly people contracted by such firms to create win-win situations for members of the general public.
Of course, such individuals are nevertheless highly trained with over 10 years of experience in banks and other financial institutions.
One example is an up-and-coming company that we are promoting as part of our mortgage broker marketing package.
The mortgage broker BC package includes search engine optimization (SEO), graphic design of a new website, and consultation. Websites are no longer mere trifles - they can bring in 3-4 leads per day, resulting in a substantial increase in monthly revenues.
Of course, the type of mortgage broker in BC or elsewhere that would get excited about a new website or web-based marketing program is the type that regularly searches in Google or Yahoo for information about products before making purchasing decisions. This is how the majority of generation X, Y, Debt, and younger generations do ALL of their product or company research.
Long gone are the days that people would search in the paper copy of the yellow pages or blue pages for information about companies, products, or services that they wished to purchase. Now telephone numbers are obtained through online listings, business information comes from the published websites, and online forums are used to discuss the results of doing business with various firms.
Search Engine Optimization, especially for mortgage brokers in BC, makes sense, because there are so many people who research mortgages and other lending products online. In addition, the content management system that we provide with a new site enables the new of upcoming mortgage broker in BC to better explain and understand the true value of the services that he or she is providing.
Investing in a new website is a great idea compared to print advertising because the cost is only a fraction of what print advertising costs, and the result stays visible and continues to promote your business for years and years.
With proper care, a website can bring in 3-4 calls per day, which is quite respectable compared to print advertising, especially given the lower price.
