NEAL LACY, DIRECTOR DANIEL ADAMS
PERSONALISED PROPERTY WEBSITES
The ultimate unique selling point of being a Property Collection member - being able to offer each and every one of your clients their own personalised property website.
From concept, this product has been an absolute gem, but we will soon be offering a whole new level of engagement with layout, features and functionality that allows a greater level of interaction and customisation for your clients.
The more your clients have ownership of a product you are offering them, the more likely your client will share this with family and friends. This sharing activity will in turn spread a brand awareness of your company across the social networks in your region.
So what’s new?
User Interface Our new look property websites are designed to bring an air of comfort to the end user, subliminally knowing where to navigate from on-trend page layouts. If your clients find it easy to use they are more likely to use it!
Using the same theme as the new website, your branding colours will be prominently placed around the sites.
The fully responsive view allows this to be easily accessible across all devices which is advantageous as a large proportion of social sharing is on mobile devices.
For Sellers and Landlords The ultimate tool for marketing their property. Their websites deliver a personalised platform where they can explain the best features of the property in their own words to encourage the purchase or rental.
They can upload their own profile picture to personalise their website before they share it with their family and friends.
For Home Hunters For your clients looking for a new place to live, their personalised property website allows them to build their portfolio of properties they are interested in, where they can request a viewing and offer feedback including a thumbs up/ down feature.
They will be receiving email alerts or new properties coming to the market which match the criteria they have selected!
With this new release, you will have a personal space for each of your clients to have as their online home moving file wrapped in your branding each day they interact with it.
For Buyers and Tenants Now here is where the beauty of this product works for you without you even trying! Everyone who moves into a new home has a sense of pride, so you will have a database of receptive clients ready to share your brand across the social networks.
These updated sites now allow your clients to upload their own photo and video library to document their home renovations and memories in the property.
The system is now capable of giving a client just one set of login details -with the ability for them to switch between which personalised website they want to access.

LETTING AGENT IN SOUTH CROYDON
We want to be your second agent
www.paulmeakin.co.uk Paul Meakin
IS CELEBRATING HIS 50TH YEAR
IN ESTATE AGENCY
This year marks Paul Meakin’s 50th successful year in estate agency “circa 5th March 1969 to present day” covering all districts of Croydon and is now perhaps the longest serving estate agent. Paul has experienced many ups and downs in the Croydon property market, and prides himself on honesty, trust and going the extra mile to provide customer service.
In 1955, Paul, aged 4, moved to Croham Valley Road, Ballards Farm and attended two local schools, Gilbert Scott and Shirley High (leaving as Head boy). As a teenager Paul made his first life changing decision and chose estate agency over a career as a semi professional footballer with Crystal Palace. His first estate agent position was in Selsdon, where he quickly learnt the art of negotiating and sales skills. With a taste for success within the property industry his passion quickly became an obsession buying his first investment property aged 19.
In 1973, with £5,000 financial backing and a very modest business plan, Paul opened Paul Meakin and Partners in Coulsdon, with hard work, determination and commitment, he overcame all challenges the first being the 3 day week, he witnessed first hand the difficulties caused from the high interest rates and even sold a house without a commission charge so his clients could complete their move. That one good will gesture was repaid over and over with recommendation and built the reputation of a local business with a heart.
Outside of estate agency, Paul has raised a family including his daughter, Emma, who is a Director of the company and has always admired him for both his professional and personal qualities.
As well as being a great family man, Paul has contributed a lot to charity, he has run the London, New York, Chicago and Paris Marathons for Get Kids Going and young children with Epilepsy, raising thousands over the years for charities close to his heart. His involvement in charity is testament to his compassion and his desire to help others. I I I CELEBRATING 50
YEARS SERVICE I I I
Congratulations Paul for standing the test of time within the property market, you have served Croydon personally, you are widely respected by your competitors, past and present colleagues, customers and your family who are very proud to witness this achievement.
Emma Meakin, daughter and Director
I feel very privileged to have worked alongside my father since 1996. Over his 50 years we have estimated he has helped over 25,000 people move which is an outstanding achievement and he has witnessed so many changes. Paul is a remarkable man who, still in his 69th Year, wakes up wanting to come to work and long may this continue as he is an inspirational leader to the business and staff both past and present.

MANNLEYS
ANTHONY LOWE - BUYER
I was satisfied in every way with the service I received, it’s a lovely bright airy office with a good frontage onto Market Street so just from the window it was a pleasure to look to see what properties were coming onto the market day-by-day. I would frequently walk in and engage with different members of staff, all of which were equally friendly. I would recommend Mannleys to family and friends as they offer a full service.
MR & MRS REYNOLDS - SELLER
They were all very professional and pleasant and a pleasure to deal with.
LI ZHOU - LANDLORD
I found them very helpful, they helped me from day 1 after I had bought my properties and again when they gave me advice on how to make my properties stand out and again very good rental return.
LIAM KING - LANDLORD
Their main USP is they’re very young, very dynamic, very hard working, they work 24/7 their marketing is superb, their logo and their colours make them stand out from all the others.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
RICHARD BAILEY - LANDLORD
They say they’ll do everything and they do it, they follow it up well the staff have enough initiative to chase a problem up and then come back to you.
DAVE MORRIS - LANDLORD
They’re big enough to deal with any day-today problems, but small enough to care.
BILL STONE - LANDLORD
I think they differ from the rest because they’re more professional but they’re down to earth as well they’re straightforward guys that I can get along with.
STUART ELLIS - SELLER
I’d use Mannleys again without question due to them being trustworthy, reliable and the affordability of it.

Harmes Turner Brown have been supporting the wonderful charity, Phabkids since 2010. Directors Peter Brown and Steve Turner ran the London marathon for Phab in April 2010 and since then HTB have raised thousands of pounds for this worthwhile cause. It’s not just Peter and Steve that have worked hard to raise funds, but all of the staff at HTB have contributed over the years through raffles, cakes sales, online competitions, colouring competitions, auctions and much more. More recently, Steve has taken part in RideLondon for Phab. In fact he has completed the course four times, raising even more for the charity. The charity has over 150 Phab clubs across England and Wales, with 8,000 members, enabling children, young people and adults with disabilities to get together with friends and family to enjoy all kinds of activities and social events. The Directors of HTB visited one of the local Phab clubs back in 2010 and immediately fell in love with the charity after seeing the effort the staff and volunteers put in. Phab inspires and supports children, young people and adults with and without disabilities to make more of life together - breaking down community barriers, reducing social isolation and creating opportunities for disabled people to enjoy the same activities and challenges as, and alongside, those without a disability.
htbproperty.com It’s all for charity! PHABKIDS!
Local Phab Clubs
Some clubs will meet each week, with members enjoying each other’s company and different activities - from crafts to a game of pool, disco or visit from the local Fire Station! Other clubs will focus on sports such as Boccia, trips to the cinema or days out. Run by local volunteers, Phab Clubs can make a real difference to the lives of people with disabilities and their families too. Regional and national events, organised by Phab, bring local clubs and members together to share experiences, support each other and enjoy time away together.
Fully accessible Holiday Projects
Phab’s very special ‘Inclusive Living Experience Residential Projects’ enable children and young people aged from 8 to 25 to experience a whole range of challenging and exciting activities at fully accessible outdoor activity centres. Approximately 115 children and young people each year spend a weekend or week away with Phab at Bendrigg Lodge in the Lake District or Avon Tyrrell in the New Forest, fully supported by around 95 Phab volunteers and carers and the Centres’ own experienced staff. Phab volunteers receive tailored training to enable them to support the children and, where needed, a special carer can accompany a child. Steve Turner and his son Luke, were lucky enough to spend a day at Avon Tyrell to see the charity in action. Both Steve and Luke spent an emotional day watching the children enjoy various activities from archery to sailing and high ropes/ climbing in the forest. HTB continue to support Phab and Steve now volunteers personally at the London Marathon Expo, meeting and registering all the ‘Phab’ runners and sharing his own experiences with them.
To participate in the many events Phab offer including The London marathon, RideLondon contact Janine@phabkids.co.uk

USING THESE EVERY MONTH DRIVES YOUR CREDIBILITY AND REACH, BOTH ONLINE, AND IN SOCIAL MEDIA
CAMPAIGNS FOR MARKETING SYNERGY
The Property Collection provides a selection of campaigns to choose from every month for you to use across all media platforms.
Each campaign is produced as an A4 window card and you can choose your marketing package each month. Here are some ideas of what you can request:
Interactive email footers Receive your updated campaign each month on the footer of every email you send. This interactive banner drives traffic to your website, and is updated remotely in the cloud so the process is automatic and seamless.
Social media and portal banners Keep your Facebook and other social media cover pages fresh with your latest campaign. With online property portals being the first place the majority of home hunters begin their search, it is imperative that you advertise your FREE property websites through banner adverts online.
Mailers We are here to support you in any mail dropping campaign you have, but you mustn’t forget to advertise the core message of your website and FREE property websites throughout all your advertising. Window cards We know that footfall in the high street is not as popular as it used to be, but don’t underestimate the human traffic that passes your offices. And what do you think they should be seeing? Properties? Or do they already know that you sell houses?
Shout about what makes you different in your windows with our bespoke seasonal campaign material. If you don’t shout about it, who will know about it? Don’t keep it a secret.
Magazines & Newspapers So your customers have an expectation from their chosen estate agent to publish their property in the local paper, but people aren’t looking through the paper in these modern times to be the first to see a property on the market - they are looking online.
Use this audience to promote your brand and unique selling points, ideally against a competitors advertising page to really show how you stand out from the crowd.
Let’s face it, a likely audience looking in the property section are unhappy vendors with their chosen agent... An ideal instruction winning opportunity!

EMAIL CAMPAIGNS DRIVING TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITES
LISA COSTA, OWNER LISA COSTA ESTATE AGENTS With emails being so accessible through mobile and tablet devices, email notifications and messages are still a great way to communicate with your customers.
With nearly all your sales and lettings clients accessing their emails from you via their smart phones, we design all email stationery to be fully responsive for all mobile devices to wow your target vendors and landlords, helping to drive upwards engagement via video and conversion rates.
All emails will have ‘click on’ links to your new websites where a video will play within the website, therefore emotively engaging the client with your unique points of difference, as well as showcasing wonderful testimonials from your clients to drive conversion rates.
You have bespoke video-based email stationery to send before and after a valuation, as well as for those instructions that you either lost or didn’t get invited out to the valuation.
With testimonials included in each video, this is a great tool for capturing the audience of all the decision makers for a property. Pre-val website with email stationery Once you have confirmed your valuation appointment on the telephone, you can send an HTML designed email with video link embedded. This link takes your potential vendor to a website with a presented video showcasing your services, along with property video examples of similar homes previously sold, plus clients filmed in their homes endorsing your service delivery.
Post-val website with email stationery After you have attended the valuation appointment, you can send an email taking the potential vendor to a website with a video thanking them for their time and summarising what was presented to them at the appointment.
Win back website with email stationery This special tool gives you the opportunity to reach the instructions that came to market and you weren’t successful in winning. You can capture this audience with a video message selling your exclusive services and highlighting the cooling off period from their chosen agent, and play your clients filmed in their homes endorsing your service delivery.
Campaigning Promotional videos for sales and lettings can be used to campaign to win increased valuations for your business.
VIDEO BROCHURES
Estate agents find themselves under increasing pressure to generate new ideas to grow their brand awareness and give themselves a competitive edge.
With that in mind, we present video brochures, combining video content and the traditional brochure format to offer both potential and existing clients branded and engaging video for sale and lettings marketing material.
Opportunity 1 – Before the valuation Either you or another member of staff visits the prospective vendor before your valuation appointment to deliver the video brochure. Such proactive introduction to your innovative services will leave a positive first impression and will have created a feeling of trust and engagement before you have discussed their needs face-to-face. With the reality that you are unlikely to meet every decision maker of the household at the valuation appointment, your prospective vendor will be able to show the video brochure to their partner, ensuring that your message is still delivered in a personal and engaging way. This can even lead to a decision to market the property with you even before the valuation has taken place.
Opportunity 2 – After the valuation Once the valuation is completed, you leave a second video brochure whilst collecting the first, containing different bespoke video content thanking them for their time and detailing all the key points from the valuation. The video brochure can be watched and re-watched with family members and friends, promoting discussion about your services.
You can then arrange to return to the property to collect the second video brochure, providing another opportunity of personal interaction and a great chance to close the deal.
Opportunity 3 – A lost valuation For those valuations you did not get invited to attend, this third opportunity sees you at their door offering your services to help them find their next home. If they are moving within the local area, you can leave a video brochure loaded with video content of applicants you have successfully helped find a new home, with a tailored corporate video message detailing your full services which are readily available within their 14 day cooling off period should they be looking to choose a new agent to market their property.
Further opportunities Video brochures can be used for a variety of other agent revenue lines such as New Homes Developments, Commercial and Financial Services.
