Christmas is just around the corner, and we know that for many estate agencies, this is a key moment to wrap up the year successfully and prepare for the next one. Whether you’re planning a well-deserved holiday or taking advantage of the season to attract more clients, being well-prepared before the festive period is essential.
Here’s a Christmas checklist your estate agency can’t afford to miss to end the year on a high note.
1. Schedule Your Christmas Posts and Campaigns
Keep your online presence active even while you’re enjoying a break:
- Plan your social media content: Use tools like Hootsuite to schedule festive-themed posts, such as holiday greetings or promotions, or our automatic social media posting tool to keep showcasing properties during the holidays.
- Create and schedule Christmas blogs: Share articles that capture the spirit of the season, such as "How to Decorate Your Home for Christmas" or "Top Free Activities in Costa Blanca to Enjoy the Holidays." These posts provide value to your clients. You can use the Mediaelx CRM to manage these posts and maintain a consistent strategy.
- Email marketing campaigns: Don’t miss the chance to connect with your clients during this special time. Send a newsletter with holiday wishes and highlight the most appealing properties in your portfolio. With Mediaelx CRM, you can easily schedule newsletters manually, ensuring your message arrives at the right time with a professional touch.
2. Decorate Your Office with Festive Spirit
A cosy and festive office creates an excellent impression on your clients.
- Set up lights, a small Christmas tree, or decorations on your front desk.
- Ensure the details are subtle, elegant, and reflect your brand’s professional style.
3. Update Your Holiday Opening Hours
Avoid confusion by clearly stating when you’ll be available:
- Update your hours on your Google Business Profile, website, and social media.
- Set up automatic replies on your email and WhatsApp Business to inform clients.
4. Offer Gifts or Tokens to Build Loyalty
Christmas is a great time to show gratitude to your clients:
- Send them a personalised gift (calendars, diaries, or digital cards).
- Provide exclusive discounts or promotions to loyal clients.
5. Host or Participate in Special Events
Embrace the festive spirit to connect with the community and increase your agency’s visibility:
- Community events: Take part in or sponsor Christmas markets, local competitions, or charity initiatives. These activities not only enhance your brand but also position you as a friendly and community-oriented agency.
- Office events: Host open houses with a Christmas theme, offering a warm and festive atmosphere. You can include a small gathering with hot chocolate and traditional holiday treats.
6. Organise Your CRM and Databases
Get everything ready for the start of 2025:
- Update the details of your leads and properties.
- Clean your database by removing outdated contacts.
- Segment your clients for upcoming campaigns.
- Set reminders to follow up with potential clients after the holidays.
Tip: Use our CRM to streamline these tasks and start the year with everything under control.
7. Finalise Year-End Deals
Before the holidays, set your priorities:
- Follow up with interested clients to schedule viewings or close deals before Christmas.
- Draft pending contracts and finalise administrative processes.
8. Prepare Content for the New Year
Leverage the renewed energy of the new year:
- Plan posts to inspire your clients to “move into a new home” in 2025.
- Design strategies with special discounts/promotions for January.
Make This Christmas an Opportunity to Grow
Christmas isn’t just a time to relax; it’s also a chance to connect with your clients and organise your business. With this checklist, you’ll be ready to make the most of this season and kick off 2025 on the right foot.
