GBAR Launches New Fall Advertising Campaign
Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Just in time for the fall housing market, the Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® has launched its newest fall advertising campaign aimed at getting consumers "off the fence."



The campaign will run from October 1 until December 1 and uses the slogan - "Real Estate Opportunity is Knocking in Greater Boston. REALTORS® Don't Just Sell Homes, They Help Secure Futures."  A banner ad appears on the homepage of www.boston.tv. - a local website that focuses on videos as a way to disseminate information.



The second portion of the campaign is dedicated to Search Engine Marketing (SEM) via Google.  Simply put, when consumers search for specific real estate terms via Google, a link to GBAR's landing page appears on the right hand side of the results page. GBAR has purchased 1,300 different search terms to ensure consumers who are searching for Massachusetts real estate information see GBAR's advertisement.



GBAR would like to thank the entire Communications Committee for its time and dedication to this project!  For questions or comments contact GBAR Communications Coordinator Christina Meehan at (617) 399-7840 or via e-mail at cmeehan@gbreb.com.
