Attend a trade fair represents a major investment for any company. Thus the question: How do I return my assistance to the next event? has been raised at all those companies that have ever attended such an event in its sector.
In these lines we will give you some tips to determine if that show is really of interest to our company and how we should raise the same strategy to be as profitable as possible.
Every company should know within the industry, the timing of both national and international fairs which are of interest. Once we clear the dates, it is clear that we can not attend to all ... Here we begin to mount our exhibition strategy.
What interested me fair?
This will look kind of fair, exhibitors, etc.. Generally on the websites of the organizers include statistics and reports the results of the latest editions, which include sectors represented, visitor profile, training and workshops and events held during the event .... With all that we get a "snapshot" of the fairs that we attend to, but I'm interested, what could go as a visitor and what are key and should attend as an exhibitor.
It is clear that not all shows have to go to stand because the investment would be impossible. And in these times we live. We select very well if I go and how.
Attend a trade fair as a visitor may also be an interesting source of contacts if you prepare well. With all this, we come to the next block.
To prepare a show and make it profitable to perform a job should be split into three phases: Phase Preferia - Stage Show - Phase Postferia
Preferred
How far in advance should I prepare my attendance at the fair? This will depend on whether it is with or without stand. Timmings but we will give guidance for reference.
1 .- With stand, with about 8 months in advance would be ideal. Thus I will have time:
a) Define the objectives of the fair and what I am going to present in it (my company, new products, etc)
b) seeking vendors for the design of the stand, compare prices and select the one that most interests us
2 .- Without stand, with about two-three months would be sufficient.
And what do we do at the stage Preferia? So in addition to the above:
- Analyze the exhibitors who attended. Of those who choose to contact me and, one month before the show, we will contact you to present, discuss our interest in getting the name of the visiting party to contact should be at the show and during it.
- If we are to stand, it's a good time to gather the largest number of customers in the area to strengthen our ties, to take advantage of present developments and others. For this it is imperative to contact them via email informing them of our presence at the show and our interest in attending. They can also get invited to them easier to attend. And when it is less than a month and will be made by telephone to try to square a day and time of visit.
- Prepare material for the commercial during the show: business cards, brochures and catalogs, to develop expertise in the fair forms of data collection, product demos, .... Besides the hardware, do not neglect to mention on the website of our company information in newsletters, etc that we attend to this or that show .... A greater potential for more widespread success.
- Preparing, if I can afford it, promotional material (from the much sought after bags, to the delivery of popcorn, balloons or any detail related to our business but that is attractive and that failure to submit its own sake, but in order to obtain information from the person who comes looking. Because let's not forget that a fair among other things that help us meet new potential customers.
For all the above, staff with specialist outside the organization and the presence of companies in fairs can help if we do not have the time to cover everything.
FAIR
All of this work prior to the fair we will ensure that the day the same will be as profitable as possible, we will have our business and assets in Phase Fair what we have sown as we gather together with the new visitors to follow our stand. During that period, the presence has to be nice and invite questions, we must convey professionalism and closeness (surely we all have in mind some stands where you seem to spare their lives to enter details). Be clear on the stand, the business must know very well our products or services and have the clear objective of the fair and to convey the message (hence recommend a few days before a meeting to review and discuss with them the key points ).
Another important tip, along with the card of each person who visits us at the stand or to speak at the show must go scoring 4 ideas that help us to be clear after their needs, concerns, comments.
Also use the fair to take a drive by it, learn the latest developments in the industry, what our competition ...
And after the exhausting days show what? Postferia phase begins.
POSTFERIA
During the week following the show is vital contact with all visitors. An email thanking her attendance at the fair will give us the opportunity to call later to all those contacts of interest. But until we can, thanks for the email will save us.
Fill in our CRM and our database of potential clients, customers and suppliers all the information obtained during the fair. From here, select the contacts of interest and resume contact with them.
If you follow these recommendations, the profitability of the show is guaranteed.

Leadership. Are you a good leader?
An opportunity (or need) leadership is increasingly bringing together two or more persons to engage in a joint task.
Leadership is a learned skill that anyone can acquire, is the art of influencing others, enthusiasms their work and reach a common goal that can be called "common good".
We will not go into detail on the definition of "common good" because it is philosophically very complicated, but it is understood that this is common or just the opposite to the needs or preferences of a single individual or group of them.
There are clearly two ways to influence, through the power or authority. We all agree that the authority is superior, is more influenced by the leader who always has to fear the person who is leading authority. But what do we do when employees do not respect authority, how not to use the power and say: "you have to do it or you lose your job?". It really is very difficult to work with people.
A leading authority comes to be that their employees appreciate it, I have respect and feel comfortable with him. But should never fall into impersonate friend or sidekick, that would be fatal. The leader must be corrected when there is no remedy should have the power and make it clear that he was forced to take such measures.
We are accustomed to seeing the hierarchy of an enterprise from the general chairman in the pit to the frontline employee. Now let us change our idea and up to the customer, this would automatically turn the pyramid and would have something like this:
Clients>> frontline employees>> monitors>> middle>> vice>> presidents.
The customer is the most important thing for a company so the employee who is serving as the most important person in second place. What the president opinaría this?.
The leader is someone who meets the legitimate needs of its people and remove all obstacles so that they can properly serve the customers.
Finally, a leader must have humility, kindness, respect, generosity, tolerance, honesty, commitment. Difficult is not it?
Start looking at yourself and try to buy these securities at the beginning will be a novice but conscious, then over time you become a conscientious and experienced at least you know it'll be an expert unconscious. Being a leader is to learn, not born.

To the naked eye. What we sell the images.
Today nonverbal communication media that fills every day is more adapted to such trends. A visual idea transcends geographical boundaries, languages and their linguistic particularities. An image that commits fewer errors and written text on a message immediately "to the naked eye."
Now,
What images sell better?.
There are four types of images exitosas1:
1. The image of the product.
2. The image is used as the product.
3. The image of people using the product.
4. The image to show the benefits of using the product.
Personally I support the 3rd type, based on the identification generated by advertising people who see the ad.
After making a good segmentation, we can work with graphics designed exclusively for this group of consumers. The search is focused on ensuring that consumers get involved emotionally. When the user is identified with the product sees himself in the position of advertising, a person feels he is "like me, or is someone I admire and I would" be like him / her "
It aims to achieve credibility and conviction of the consumer.
"It's like me, how is the consumer?.
We people of adult age and is thought to herself as if it were ten years younger. Children identify with children who have three or four years more of the real, and you must choose between girls or boys, boys are better use resultados2. Adolescents yearn to feel as young and successful from 18 to 23 years. Adults prefer to see two or three years more.
The consumer directs their attention to adult images related to persons of the same sex and as discussed above are identified by people with a few years older, now if you want to use images of the opposite sex, preferring to be with a couple of years unless they .
The well-dressed and arranged immediately reinforces the values of kindness, honesty, sophistication, talent and intelligence. If you are young and beautiful people is given the characteristic of having an active sex life.
But attention to using beautiful women and sexual stereotypes to their ads, remember to call the attention of consumers does not mean that this is going to buy your product. It is recommended to use models and pictures erotic / sexual when the product is directly related to the romance, love, passion and beauty.
Just ask yourself do you want the values that the consumer gives a beautiful woman is assigned to my product?.
Image segmentation.
Advertising should be directed to a specific audience, but in the case of wanting to cover a bit more do not use features of a geographical location, culture or something that identifies a specific group of people that the rest will automatically be identified not only but feel moved.
The consumer identifies with the image of advertising that is not recommended to use models who represent an ethnic minority.
Beware of film actors and top models.
Careful when choosing an actor or model and face of our product, all individuals, bad and good will associated with our product. Today may be the best tennis player, am an addict and in the mind of the consumer association is forever, or until they make a very successful advertising campaign to relate their product to another thing or person.
The strength and intelligence of the Tigre Tony (Toño).
The payado McDonalds so beloved by children of United States, here in Latin America and to hate what you fear.
Like when you select an actor, you must be very careful to create a comic or an animated cartoon that identifies the product.
In my opinion, the Tony de tigre Zucaritas is a good example of using this tool, but not the EBRD Herb (Herb, the plast) from Burger King.
Another problem arises with the use of characters to identify the product that is shadowed the mark against his character at a time and if we fail to use this animation to lose many customers, not counting those fond of the character.
To finish work on character graphics. When they are drawn or animated children arrive quickly and Old Joe the Camel cigarettes Camel animated this may lead to criticism and legal problems.
Pictures, drawings or text?
Again, using the identification as a major factor in this decision, chose the pictures.
Now, if you target your advertising to a select group of women or men whose aspirations are in fashion, glamor and seduction, you want to show situations with a sense of humor or exaggerate facial expressions is to use the chart.
And what do we do with the texts?.
We use images without always want to give the impression of seriousness, and accompanied to explain, making redundant the message of the picture or just to say something very important.
The texts in the form of data is not used, no one really reads the specifications of a product, only of course, when this led to a dealer or a mechanic, engineer or specialist.
Personally I think a good image and a good slogan is more than enough to send the message correctly.
Photographs, be honest.
In a previous article commented on the importance of being honest in front of a market reported that arrangements known photographic and imaging tricks.
The consumer knows is wide and can leave very bad to get your company if you discover that you are cheating.
Annexed to this article will leave an example of sublimizares tricks used by the biggest companies in the media.
Colors and their influence.
The colors are performed much faster than words and therefore generates responses that may not be changed later with the accompanying text.
The colors offer the image quality, brightness, hardness or softness, prestige, purity, strength, masculinity, femininity, and so on. We transmit odors or tastes. For this and more should pay close attention to the proper use of colors.
The colors have an apparent motion, weight and depth, as well as visibility and impact. The colors defined tradition or innovation can make an image to identify a place in the world 70 years ago or more great holiday might imagine.
The reader rarely recorded items separately so careful grouping of colors. There are combinations that will link the consumer immediately, such as green and yellow with the flag of Brazil, or blue and yellow with Boca Juniors, a team of Argentine soccer, or green with Heineken beer.
The latter illustrates the power that has the color: beer with nature do not have many things in common, but if I give it a green packaging and bombarded with advertising "green" captaré care of that eco-mass young drink beer.
What is that?.
... Curiosity killed the cat, and it helps us sell to us.
Fortunately, the man is extremely curious and easily surprised. We target these images and develop as human actions that go against the tide and images known in an unusual situation.
The comment above, note that draw attention and sell is not the aim of advertising is to sell.
Other ways to draw attention is given to the motion picture, whether a sequence of frames or by using fuzzy techniques funds with clear images in the foreground to make the reader understand and seek to analyze what is happening.
We are not complicated ...
Simplicity, contrast, image geometry and redundancy (by various means) are the means.
Thus, the reader desperately seeking images associated with familiar forms and geometric elements in contrast with love and great products for cleaning and a little detergent EMBASE.
Finally, redundancy facilitates learning and retention.

A real estate portal that sells well abroad
Foreign investment in real estate in Spain joined in 4840 million euros at the end of last year 2006. This represents a fall of 12% over the previous year and confirms a downward trend that began in 2005. There is a general consensus that high prices are reached home in Spain, with a focus on areas favored by foreign buyers-costs-coupled with the slow but steady escalation of interest rates, the two factors indicates that the major culprits for this decline in the volume of investment. The latest wave of scandals in some urban traditional tourist destinations and the protests of foreign owners by the Act of Valencia Valencia have not exactly helped to reverse this trend.
This scenario would also include a change in the shape of the housing market to foreign buyers. A few years ago it was common for the promoters delegate the marketing abroad in a few specialized organizations in hotels and real estate fairs where trying to get in touch with potential customers. Those who showed more interest could be "invited" to a flight inspection to Spain where they were picked up by persuasive commercial began a marathon of promotions in the course of which he owned trying to find the taste of the customer and firm a reservation. The commissions that the promoters gave the sellers were very juicy and huge margin until a few years ago was handled in such operations justify the high cost of marketing.
The growing Internet penetration, however, has come to change the rules of the game. Potential home buyers have learned to surf the net on the hunt and capture of the virtual home of your dreams, so they possess a level of information and documentation were unthinkable a few years ago. The current real estate portal offering all types of information: photographs of the property and area, perspectives, and alterations of finishing options, virtual tours, extensive documentation of the environment, average price per square meter for the area ... Perhaps why the foreign buyers prefer to visit different sites in the privacy of your home, in a way that are not subject to any commercial pressures, and extract from them the necessary information for later contact and engage in interviews and on a base well documented, with the companies that interest them most.
The immense potential of this tool is now beginning to be discovered. And just when the pace of sales has begun to slow down that many developers are making a smooth transition from the model of marketing delegations abroad toward using direct marketing as the main showcase your own website. The showroom in hotels, flights and expensive inspection catalogs in full color, are giving way to the virtual perspective, multilingual call center, chat with the commercial real-time and downloadable PDF brochure.
So, despite the downward trend of recent years, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The recovery of Germany seems just around the corner, the escalation of prices has moderated and the prospect of lower inflationary pressure suggests that interest rates will not rise much more. To maximize the opportunities that can be opened in this new scenario it is important to understand what are the key aspects that can influence the degree of success a real estate portal that aims to commercialize housing in foreign markets. Most of these factors are related to a common concept: find. It aims to present, argue, inform, and compete in search engines from the perspective of the customer that we are going.
Locate the product information
Looking at the traffic analysis web portal inmobiiario any, find it very easy to identify a search pattern that is repeated again and again: "housing type" + "status" as a "villa in Marbella"; " apartment in Benidorm or semidetached in Santander, for example. So we can reasonably suspect that the first choice that makes a potential buyer which is the real estate, while the second is where. Ie what type of home would you like to buy and where to buy it. Another issue is that what really exists in where desired, and finally, at the price you are willing to pay.
Once these three aspects-borne type, location and price of housing, we could assume that someone has to start a major trade deal (the purchase of a property is often one of the largest transactions that most people do throughout his life) an enterprise in a foreign country and not always the media have done justice, very probably wonder who I'm going to buy my house. In other words, I will deal with a reliable and solvent company? I have secured the money to hand account by the purchase of my home? Do you offer sufficient guarantees that respond to potential claims after the sale?
Finally, and also directly related to the distance and the knowledge that the buyer in another country can have our own, we could identify a kind of additional information related to how you come to realize purchasing a home in Spain by a buyer abroad, with all that implies: legal obligations, tax and financial aspects involved. Would it be better to hire a mortgage in Spain or abroad? What taxes will I pay? What brings the cost of buying a home? What are the documents that I have to sign, and when? etc.
In its role as virtual shopping, a real estate portal should be prepared to answer these and many other questions raised by potential foreign buyers. We will see each of the four separately.
1. Product Information
Experience shows that the product chips are the heart of every real estate portal. If a site keeps offering a portfolio of 20,000 properties, for example, this should be the minimum number of pages indexed in Google for this portal. The way to know the total number of pages that Google has crawled our site is as simple as entering the command site: www.misitio.com (or. Net,. Es, etc.) Into the search box. Google will return a list of all pages on our website that keeps its index. If the number of pages is much lower than the total number of properties on offer, then we might have a problem indexed by search engines that are not being able to index the entire contents of our website. We must verify that the property sheet will not open in a new window (pop-up). If so, we must change the structure of the web so that the property sheet to open in the same window that we are sailing at the time.
We must also check that the only way to navigate to the tab of a property is as a result of consultation on an internal search engine (such as choose the type of housing, number of bedrooms, maximum price, etc..) Since the robots of the search engines can not use these forms to get to the pages. The search forms of property thus becomes insurmountable walls that prevent Internet search engines can index all the files of real estate. If this were the case, we will provide links that point to pages where buildings are grouped together by certain search parameters: "apartments in Alicante, apartments in New York", "villas in Benalmadena, and so on. These lists will contain the microfiche to be repeating these expressions in a natural way, as we have seen, correspond to the usual method of finding properties in the search engines: "housing type" + "location" which facilitate the positioning of these pooled results pages on search engines. Each of the displayed property microfiching must contain a link to the page of product details as to facilitate the transit of the search engine robots to the page of each building in particular.
Needless to say, these pages must have a title that coincides with its content (the page of new apartments in Madrid should be entitled "New Madrid Pisos Inmobiliaria XXX" and not a generic title like "Welcome to Inmobiliaria XXX" or even worse, no one title). Similarly, the estate must file an individual entitled: "Buy new apartment in Madrid with Real XXX" or similar arrangement.
These pages are grouped by buildings with the more usual search also produced a positive impact on the usability of the website. It has been found that certain types of users prefer a visual search, "pecking" on microfiche, and whose images are more attractive prices are those presented in these pages of results rather than follow the path most "logical" to define the criteria selection in the form of the internal search engine.
Programmed in this way, each page of our website becomes a hook cast into the waters of Internet search engines. If our property sheets are not listed individually in the search engines, we are losing a huge potential of qualified traffic, since only be reaching potential users through brand recognition. And get a good branding involves a huge financial investment in promotion and advertising in the long term.
If, in addition to listing each property in the search engines, our website has several versions in different languages, we logically multiplying the number of "hooks" to catch users of our websites. From this point of view, compete in different languages carries a significant advantage to have a website in Swedish, Norwegian or Dutch allows us to compete in areas less traveled: There are far fewer real estate websites in those languages than in Spanish, English or German.
But to compete properly in other languages also involves not only know exactly how a native of another country shall refer to a particular type of product (one English, for example, uses the term "bungalow" to refer to a semi-detached housing, but "attached" also known as "villa" to what we call family "cottage") but how to argue the specific qualities of the product. Thus, the reasons for which one could buy a Spanish villa on the outskirts of Fortuna in Murcia are probably very different from those that would trigger a sale to a German or English. That is why the descriptions of the houses can not be a simple translation from Spanish to English features, but must be argued from the perspective of a potential buyer. If for a Spanish villa in Fortuna is the way to a house at a cost lower than the same house in Murcia capital, is the English for a warranty can burnt in the sun all year round.
Finally, to compete properly in browsers other countries, we must look at the different search engines at the national level tend to bias results to favor their websites geolocalizados in the same country. What's this? Well Google.es, for example, tends to present at top, equal to domains ending in. Com or domains. Com servers housed in Spanish (which distinguishes through its IP number). Another way in which search engines awarded a "nationality" of a particular domain is through the nationality of the domains that have links pointing to it. So if we want to compete with an advantage in the google.co.uk search engine (Google UK) or de.yahoo.com (Yahoo! Germany) should at least some of these conditions:
To have a country code domain. Ie, a domain ending in. Co.uk,. De,. Fr, etc.
Or have a hosted web server with an IP belonging to the country in which we compete
Or have subdomains (like uk.midominio.com) with a sufficiently large number of links from domains geolocalizados in the country they wish to compete (in this case, domains ending in. Co.uk
2. The information environment of the environment due to the question: Where to buy? In this regard, and putting on shoes from overseas buyer, we can intuit that the interest in the environment of the housing covers a much wider area, the more distant is the potential buyer. The information environment has two facets:
Information on how the environment
Information that gives me the environment
Within the first group could range from the usual description of the climate of the area, rainfall data, hours of sun in different seasons, etc. .- description of the orography-mountains, close to the sea, beaches, and the appearance own neighborhood and the urban environment where it is framed housing residential area with large green areas, urban areas, historic, rural housing ...
Not all the features necessary to display this information must be developed from scratch. Google Earth, Google Maps, The Weather Channel and many other specialized web sites can act as providers of various types of information and functionality that we can perfectly integrate within the content of our pages, giving them a much higher level of information that could achieved using only our own resources.
In some U.S. websites, as realliving.com can find environmental data such as:
Population
Average age
Average number of children per couple
Percentage of married
Average income per household
Percentage composition of the population by level of education (elementary, secondary, university)
Percentage of each race ...
Even a percentage of workers known as "blue collar jobs" or "white collar jobs" (to designate the persons who perform engineering, manufacturing, etc.. Opposed to administrative work)!
And all these data are presented in a comparative table for the city, county and state. In localreply.com, we find, in addition, the rate of employment and unemployment in a given town or area (classified by zip code) and even the crime rate.
It's really striking that level of completeness in the amount of information available about the immediate environment in the North American portals. In a country where social mobility is very high, it is normal that the applicants for housing in an area that is requiring this level of unknown information. In a much smaller country like Spain, where the distances and differences can not be so large, this amount of information may not be justified. But we should think that would really be welcomed by potential foreign buyers because they help to make a composition of what they can find and reduce the degree of uncertainty about the multiple factors involved in a transfer of residence or purchase of a new housing expected to move to it in the future.
Within the second group would include all equipment, services, facilities and attractions offered by the environment. From the perspective of a potential foreign buyer centered holiday home or a residence for retirement, issues that might be of interest include, among others:
Accessibility communications proximity to highways, airports, ports, train stations ...
Commercial areas, particularly where they can find products in their own country or they can respond in their own language
Professional services, particularly if they speak your language: lawyers, tax advisors, veterinarians, business reform, decorating ...
Health care
Schools, in particular that they can teach in their language or even to follow the curriculum of the country (British Council, French School, College of Europe ...)
Sports facilities: golf courses, gyms, marinas, riding, etc..
Sights: entertainment centers, amusement parks, theme parks, museums, theaters, auditoriums, historic, monumental, events, restaurants, festivals and traditional celebrations, open-air markets, crafts.
All these aspects are also part of the appeal of a particular property, are advantages which the property is not in itself but because of its location. Learning to identify and evaluate arguments to allow the eyes of the foreign buyer.
3. Company Info
Information on the company responds to the question who do I buy?. Unfortunately, Spain pulls a long history of horror stories real estate abroad. More or less real basis, the traditionally accepted "payment to B," the sale of properties in plots without urbanise or simply direct the scam are weights that drag past and present joined in a recent scandals that property -- even with the dissolution of a municipality of Marbella and the demolition of homes purchased by British-or application of such controversial laws like the Law of the Land of Valencia favor somewhat the confidence necessary for a smooth business relationship with buyers in Europe and threaten the prestige pulse earned by companies that have done good things.
Buying a home is an involved operation in itself a great risk, as is often the largest purchase of our lives. If we add the knowledge of the language and customs of another country as well as the low visibility that many developers may have in those countries, the perceived risk increases. And the reputation, deserved or not, of Spain as a paradise for real estate speculators helps foreign buyers face the adventure of purchasing a home in our country with an attitude that ranges from mere suspicion to the maximum prevention. It is in this context is justified where a real estate portal which provide all possible information about the seriousness, course, history and ethics of the company. Among other issues, the site should reflect:
Date of incorporation of the company and its track record in recent years through its most significant milestones
Staff, headquarters, sales offices, and so on. anything that helps to tangibilizar a presence at the time to visit the site, are only virtual
Mission / vision of the company, with special reference to their objectives and ethics in their performance

4. Information procedures
The last leg in this journey towards the goals that a website aimed at overseas markets must meet is the information on procedures, legal requirements, funding opportunities and customs at the time of completing the acquisition of a new home . This is to answer the last question: how to buy a house in Spain?
Real estate websites do not usually provide much information on this issue. Are, in effect, articles, step by step guides and more testimonials on other websites more generic, like justlanded.com, euroresidentes.com and the like. It seems as if those responsible for some real estate websites "fear" that potential customers may have "too much" information. The fact is that this information is available on the network and just a simple Google search to find dozens of pages that describes, from multiple perspectives, the various steps and procedures for the successful completion of the acquisition of a housing in our country. Would not it be a sign of transparency to include this information in their own real estate portals? Can not help generate a greater level of confidence that the developer was the first to be concerned that your prospect has all the elements to make a choice and a purchase decision with greater knowledge?
Returning to the initial question: is a web property office, a commercial and must provide all resources, all the arguments of sale required not only to highlight the virtues of the product, but to help the potential buyer to tear down the many obstacles that separate him from the house of your dreams: ignorance, mistrust, the need for funding, the urgency to make a educated decision based on knowing all the facts. Within aspects of the procedures could include information on:
Advantages of subrogation in the mortgage against the developer to seek a new mortgage
Comparison of mortgages in Spain and in his own country
Compare the cost of living connection to their country of origin: what will the purchasing power of their pensions, for example?
Steps and documents used in buying off plan, buy turnkey, second-hand housing, etc.. and expenditures matched: notary, mobile ...
Information on their rights-time warranty, chances of claiming reparations after delivery if you find deficiencies, guarantees of the deposits on account, etc..
Opportunities to locate their permanent residence in Spain: voting rights, opportunities for starting a business in our country, the obligation to register the vehicle, duties of medical care, etc..
This is just a sample of the type of information that a potential home buyer abroad can sue when deciding to buy a house in Spain. The price level has reached the real estate supply in our country has slowed sales. Aimed at promoting the sale of second homes to foreigners and do not compete between them, but mainly with the emergence of new poles of attraction for the home equity in other countries that enjoy similar weather conditions in Spain, will play in the future tough competition after reaching the political and social stability for its property-less, its lowest price level and the lower cost of living. At a higher level of processing information that is provided through the Internet can be the key to attract a clientele increasingly distrustful, demanding and informed.

This scenario would also include a change in the shape of the housing market to foreign buyers. A few years ago it was common for the promoters delegate the marketing abroad in a few specialized organizations in hotels and real estate fairs where trying to get in touch with potential customers. Those who showed more interest could be "invited" to a flight inspection to Spain where they were picked up by persuasive commercial began a marathon of promotions in the course of which he owned trying to find the taste of the customer and firm a reservation. The commissions that the promoters gave the sellers were very juicy and huge margin until a few years ago was handled in such operations justify the high cost of marketing.
The growing Internet penetration, however, has come to change the rules of the game. Potential home buyers have learned to surf the net on the hunt and capture of the virtual home of your dreams, so they possess a level of information and documentation were unthinkable a few years ago. The current real estate portal offering all types of information: photographs of the property and area, perspectives, and alterations of finishing options, virtual tours, extensive documentation of the environment, average price per square meter for the area ... Perhaps why the foreign buyers prefer to visit different sites in the privacy of your home, in a way that are not subject to any commercial pressures, and extract from them the necessary information for later contact and engage in interviews and on a base well documented, with the companies that interest them most.
The immense potential of this tool is now beginning to be discovered. And just when the pace of sales has begun to slow down that many developers are making a smooth transition from the model of marketing delegations abroad toward using direct marketing as the main showcase your own website. The showroom in hotels, flights and expensive inspection catalogs in full color, are giving way to the virtual perspective, multilingual call center, chat with the commercial real-time and downloadable PDF brochure.
So, despite the downward trend of recent years, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The recovery of Germany seems just around the corner, the escalation of prices has moderated and the prospect of lower inflationary pressure suggests that interest rates will not rise much more. To maximize the opportunities that can be opened in this new scenario it is important to understand what are the key aspects that can influence the degree of success a real estate portal that aims to commercialize housing in foreign markets. Most of these factors are related to a common concept: find. It aims to present, argue, inform, and compete in search engines from the perspective of the customer that we are going.
Locate the product information
Looking at the traffic analysis web portal inmobiiario any, find it very easy to identify a search pattern that is repeated again and again: "housing type" + "status" as a "villa in Marbella"; " apartment in Benidorm or semidetached in Santander, for example. So we can reasonably suspect that the first choice that makes a potential buyer which is the real estate, while the second is where. Ie what type of home would you like to buy and where to buy it. Another issue is that what really exists in where desired, and finally, at the price you are willing to pay.
Once these three aspects-borne type, location and price of housing, we could assume that someone has to start a major trade deal (the purchase of a property is often one of the largest transactions that most people do throughout his life) an enterprise in a foreign country and not always the media have done justice, very probably wonder who I'm going to buy my house. In other words, I will deal with a reliable and solvent company? I have secured the money to hand account by the purchase of my home? Do you offer sufficient guarantees that respond to potential claims after the sale?
Finally, and also directly related to the distance and the knowledge that the buyer in another country can have our own, we could identify a kind of additional information related to how you come to realize purchasing a home in Spain by a buyer abroad, with all that implies: legal obligations, tax and financial aspects involved. Would it be better to hire a mortgage in Spain or abroad? What taxes will I pay? What brings the cost of buying a home? What are the documents that I have to sign, and when? etc.
In its role as virtual shopping, a real estate portal should be prepared to answer these and many other questions raised by potential foreign buyers. We will see each of the four separately.
1. Product Information
Experience shows that the product chips are the heart of every real estate portal. If a site keeps offering a portfolio of 20,000 properties, for example, this should be the minimum number of pages indexed in Google for this portal. The way to know the total number of pages that Google has crawled our site is as simple as entering the command site: www.misitio.com (or. Net,. Es, etc.) Into the search box. Google will return a list of all pages on our website that keeps its index. If the number of pages is much lower than the total number of properties on offer, then we might have a problem indexed by search engines that are not being able to index the entire contents of our website. We must verify that the property sheet will not open in a new window (pop-up). If so, we must change the structure of the web so that the property sheet to open in the same window that we are sailing at the time.
We must also check that the only way to navigate to the tab of a property is as a result of consultation on an internal search engine (such as choose the type of housing, number of bedrooms, maximum price, etc..) Since the robots of the search engines can not use these forms to get to the pages. The search forms of property thus becomes insurmountable walls that prevent Internet search engines can index all the files of real estate. If this were the case, we will provide links that point to pages where buildings are grouped together by certain search parameters: "apartments in Alicante, apartments in New York", "villas in Benalmadena, and so on. These lists will contain the microfiche to be repeating these expressions in a natural way, as we have seen, correspond to the usual method of finding properties in the search engines: "housing type" + "location" which facilitate the positioning of these pooled results pages on search engines. Each of the displayed property microfiching must contain a link to the page of product details as to facilitate the transit of the search engine robots to the page of each building in particular.
Needless to say, these pages must have a title that coincides with its content (the page of new apartments in Madrid should be entitled "New Madrid Pisos Inmobiliaria XXX" and not a generic title like "Welcome to Inmobiliaria XXX" or even worse, no one title). Similarly, the estate must file an individual entitled: "Buy new apartment in Madrid with Real XXX" or similar arrangement.
These pages are grouped by buildings with the more usual search also produced a positive impact on the usability of the website. It has been found that certain types of users prefer a visual search, "pecking" on microfiche, and whose images are more attractive prices are those presented in these pages of results rather than follow the path most "logical" to define the criteria selection in the form of the internal search engine.
Programmed in this way, each page of our website becomes a hook cast into the waters of Internet search engines. If our property sheets are not listed individually in the search engines, we are losing a huge potential of qualified traffic, since only be reaching potential users through brand recognition. And get a good branding involves a huge financial investment in promotion and advertising in the long term.
If, in addition to listing each property in the search engines, our website has several versions in different languages, we logically multiplying the number of "hooks" to catch users of our websites. From this point of view, compete in different languages carries a significant advantage to have a website in Swedish, Norwegian or Dutch allows us to compete in areas less traveled: There are far fewer real estate websites in those languages than in Spanish, English or German.
But to compete properly in other languages also involves not only know exactly how a native of another country shall refer to a particular type of product (one English, for example, uses the term "bungalow" to refer to a semi-detached housing, but "attached" also known as "villa" to what we call family "cottage") but how to argue the specific qualities of the product. Thus, the reasons for which one could buy a Spanish villa on the outskirts of Fortuna in Murcia are probably very different from those that would trigger a sale to a German or English. That is why the descriptions of the houses can not be a simple translation from Spanish to English features, but must be argued from the perspective of a potential buyer. If for a Spanish villa in Fortuna is the way to a house at a cost lower than the same house in Murcia capital, is the English for a warranty can burnt in the sun all year round.
Finally, to compete properly in browsers other countries, we must look at the different search engines at the national level tend to bias results to favor their websites geolocalizados in the same country. What's this? Well Google.es, for example, tends to present at top, equal to domains ending in. Com or domains. Com servers housed in Spanish (which distinguishes through its IP number). Another way in which search engines awarded a "nationality" of a particular domain is through the nationality of the domains that have links pointing to it. So if we want to compete with an advantage in the google.co.uk search engine (Google UK) or de.yahoo.com (Yahoo! Germany) should at least some of these conditions:
To have a country code domain. Ie, a domain ending in. Co.uk,. De,. Fr, etc.
Or have a hosted web server with an IP belonging to the country in which we compete
Or have subdomains (like uk.midominio.com) with a sufficiently large number of links from domains geolocalizados in the country they wish to compete (in this case, domains ending in. Co.uk
2. The information environment of the environment due to the question: Where to buy? In this regard, and putting on shoes from overseas buyer, we can intuit that the interest in the environment of the housing covers a much wider area, the more distant is the potential buyer. The information environment has two facets:
Information on how the environment
Information that gives me the environment
Within the first group could range from the usual description of the climate of the area, rainfall data, hours of sun in different seasons, etc. .- description of the orography-mountains, close to the sea, beaches, and the appearance own neighborhood and the urban environment where it is framed housing residential area with large green areas, urban areas, historic, rural housing ...
Not all the features necessary to display this information must be developed from scratch. Google Earth, Google Maps, The Weather Channel and many other specialized web sites can act as providers of various types of information and functionality that we can perfectly integrate within the content of our pages, giving them a much higher level of information that could achieved using only our own resources.
In some U.S. websites, as realliving.com can find environmental data such as:
Population
Average age
Average number of children per couple
Percentage of married
Average income per household
Percentage composition of the population by level of education (elementary, secondary, university)
Percentage of each race ...
Even a percentage of workers known as "blue collar jobs" or "white collar jobs" (to designate the persons who perform engineering, manufacturing, etc.. Opposed to administrative work)!
And all these data are presented in a comparative table for the city, county and state. In localreply.com, we find, in addition, the rate of employment and unemployment in a given town or area (classified by zip code) and even the crime rate.
It's really striking that level of completeness in the amount of information available about the immediate environment in the North American portals. In a country where social mobility is very high, it is normal that the applicants for housing in an area that is requiring this level of unknown information. In a much smaller country like Spain, where the distances and differences can not be so large, this amount of information may not be justified. But we should think that would really be welcomed by potential foreign buyers because they help to make a composition of what they can find and reduce the degree of uncertainty about the multiple factors involved in a transfer of residence or purchase of a new housing expected to move to it in the future.
Within the second group would include all equipment, services, facilities and attractions offered by the environment. From the perspective of a potential foreign buyer centered holiday home or a residence for retirement, issues that might be of interest include, among others:
Accessibility communications proximity to highways, airports, ports, train stations ...
Commercial areas, particularly where they can find products in their own country or they can respond in their own language
Professional services, particularly if they speak your language: lawyers, tax advisors, veterinarians, business reform, decorating ...
Health care
Schools, in particular that they can teach in their language or even to follow the curriculum of the country (British Council, French School, College of Europe ...)
Sports facilities: golf courses, gyms, marinas, riding, etc..
Sights: entertainment centers, amusement parks, theme parks, museums, theaters, auditoriums, historic, monumental, events, restaurants, festivals and traditional celebrations, open-air markets, crafts.
All these aspects are also part of the appeal of a particular property, are advantages which the property is not in itself but because of its location. Learning to identify and evaluate arguments to allow the eyes of the foreign buyer.

Joanna Pacitti
Joanna Pacitti (born October 6, 1984) is an American singer. She was a contestant on American Idol during 2009. She was eliminated because of prior relationships with producers
Theater
In 1996, at age 12, Pacitti was chosen to star in the 20th anniversary revival of the musical Annie after entering a contest sponsored by the department store Macy's. Pacitti starred in 106 performances with the national tour, obtaining mixed reviews.
Two weeks before the show was to land on Broadway, she became ill with Bronchitis. She returned to find she had been permanently replaced not by her understudy, but by Brittny Kissinger, one of the actresses playing an orphan instead. The firing generated a great deal of national publicity. Joanna appeared for interviews on ABC World News Tonight, Good Morning America, American Journal and Turning Point, an in-depth report with Barbara Walters. Her family employed a public relations strategist to elicit opportunities with various media outlets.

American Idol
Pacitti auditioned for season 8 of American Idol in Louisville, Kentucky, in an episode which aired on January 21, 2009. She passed the audition into the Hollywood round. Pacitti's past accomplishments have stirred debate about whether American Idol contestants should be strictly amateur performers. On the February 11 Idol broadcast, she was shown advancing into the top 36. That night Fox TV issued a statement that Pacitti was disqualified from the contest for "ineligible to continue." According to Star magazine, the reasoning behind this was that Pacitti has "very personal connections" to Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski, two executives that work in American Idol's 19 Entertainment Los Angeles office. In addition to living in the same apartment complex as the 19 Entertainment executives for several years, Pacitti has also allegedly called Young her "manager" and "best friend" and credited Widynowski -- a former RCA Records publicist -- with "helping me get where I am today."[citation needed] She was replaced on the program by Felicia Barton.

Marketing
Marketing is an ongoing process of planning and executing the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion often referred to as the 4 Ps) for products, services or ideas to create exchange between individuals and organizations.
Marketing tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes advertising, distribution and selling. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, which are often discovered through market research.
Essentially, marketing is the process of creating or directing an organization to be successful in selling a product or service that people not only desire, but are willing to buy.
Therefore good marketing must be able to create a "proposition" or set of benefits for the end customer that delivers value through products or services.
Concept of Marketing
"Marketing" is an instructive business domain that serves to inform and educate target markets about the value and competitive advantage of a company and its products. “Value” is worth derived by the customer from owning and using the product. “Competitive Advantage” is a depiction that the company or its products are each doing something better than their competition in a way that could benefit the customer.
Marketing is focused on the task of conveying pertinent company and product related information to specific customers, and there are a multitude of decisions (strategies) to be made within the marketing domain regarding what information to deliver, how much information to deliver, to whom to deliver, how to deliver, when to deliver, and where to deliver. Once the decisions are made, there are numerous ways (tactics) and processes that could be employed in support of the selected strategies.
As Marketing is often misinterpreted as just advertising or sales, Chris Newton, in What is marketing? (Marketing Help Online, 2008), defined marketing as every strategy and decision made in the following twelve areas:
Identifying and quantifying the need in the marketplace Identifying and quantifying the target markets Identifying the optimum cost effective media – online and offline - to reach the target markets Reviewing the priorities of the product offering in your overall product mix ‘matrix’ Identifying and developing the most effective distribution channels, be they wholesaler networks, partnering alliances, franchising, or any number of conduits to the market. Testing different ways of packaging the concepts or products to find their most 'easy-to-sell' form Testing to find the optimum pricing strategies Developing effective promotional strategies and effective advertising and supporting collateral, offers, and launch strategies Developing and documenting the sales process Finding the optimum execution of the sales process – through testing of selling scripts, people selection, supporting collateral, skills and attitudinal training, tracking, measuring and refining Ensuring that sales projections reflect realistic production capacities Developing nurture programs to optimise the lifetime value of the customer

Testing different ways of packaging the concepts or products to find their most 'easy-to-sell' form Testing to find the optimum pricing strategies Developing effective promotional strategies and effective advertising and supporting collateral, offers, and launch strategies Developing and documenting the sales process Finding the optimum execution of the sales process – through testing of selling scripts, people selection, supporting collateral, skills and attitudinal training, tracking, measuring and refining Ensuring that sales projections reflect realistic production capacities Developing nurture programs to optimise the lifetime value of the customer
