Testing theories and more stuff ups....

One of the theories I'm testing this week is if the number of "hits" on the "realestate.com.au" website has any correlation to the number of people through on the weekend.  As at last weekend we'd had 46 "groups" through, and just over 2200 hits... so about 1 "group" for every 50 hits.  

Unfortunately we've had another "hiccup" with the "forsalebyowner" advertising... This time it's because they have re-branded on both "domain" and "realestate.com.au" as "forsalebyowner" not the other branding "for sale, for rent" which it was under before.  The downsides to this upgrade (that I've noticed so far"

1. The advertisement reverted to an older edit - one that didn't have the "inspect as advertised or by appointment" with my direct phone.
2. The inspection times had disappeared (again!)
3. The floor plan had disappeared

I only noticed the inspection times had disappeared because I got an enquiry - so I sent an email advising as such, then I noticed the older ad, and send another email, by the time I realised the floor plan had disappeared I decided I couldn't be bothered.  I uploaded again and hope it will refresh soon.  That's not as important as the other bits though.

The only good thing?  The ad has a "new" sign on it, so might improve our numbers for Saturday.  Before the refresh we were up to about 2315 hits, so I was expecting on those numbers 3 groups through.  After the refresh we're up to 115, so hopefully that will be 5 or 6 people total.  I guess we'll see on Saturday!

I also wonder whether the "forsalebyowner" branding will now mean I get stacks of agents calling?  

We'll wait and see!
