| RE/MAX Collection Updates from RE/MAX, LLC |
 The
new Web page launched on March 1st. The page
will have a geo-targeted photo carousel of
RE/MAX luxury listings. In addition, there will
be an area to search for a luxury agent (agents
that have the luxury residential sub-specialty,
as well as an option to search for an agent with
the CLHMS designation).
A campaign with the Wall Street Journal launched
on March 1st. The campaign includes video
pre-roll, run of site banner ads, and feeds for
our RE/MAX luxury listings. Associates will have
their luxury listings placed on wsj.com for
free. The value of having our listing feeds on
the site is tremendous. The cost for an
associate to advertise one listing for a ten
month period would be $1,750-$3,500. The market
value of having 15k listings posted for 10
months ranges from $26.25MM-$52.5MM. In
addition, this will increase our presence in the
luxury market and will provide our associates
with more visibility for their listings.
A customizable brochure will be available on
Design Centre before convention. The brochure
will allow associates to upload their own photos
and copy. The piece may act as a listing
presentation or a marketing brochure for a
property.
Banner ads will run on:
www.luxuryrealestate.com
www.dupontregistry.com
www.uniquehomes.com
www.wsj.com
Ads will drive traffic back to
www.theremaxcollection.com.
New Website templates will be available through
approved supplier, Superlative. The templates
will be branded with The RE/MAX Collection and
will offer associates a variety of semi-custom
luxury Website options.
A 30-second, consumer based commercial for The
RE/MAX Collection is currently being created.
The commercial may be used on the Web, in local
TV advertising or on associates' websites.
A new resource area will be available on the
luxury homes page of Mainstreet where associates
will be able to access press release templates
and luxury housing reports, provided by The
Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.
