Six Expert Tips to Running a Successful PM Investor Education Evening

Tip One – Select a date for your Investor Education Evening.

You will need to give yourself adequate time for marketing and lead up to this event. We suggest eight weeks for marketing. Picking the day in a week is your choice, depending on the type of people you want there and the availability of speakers. It’s likely that you’ll find a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening to be best.

Tip Two – Select a venue.

Pick a venue that has plenty of parking and also good exposure for the night that you can place your signage out the front (like an open inspection) letting everyone know your brand is putting on an event. Consider a sporting club or a venue that has a lot of traffic and likely might have good traffic there on the night for more brand exposure.

Tip Three – Select outside speakers.

Who from your company is best able to speak to your audience about property investment and its benefits? It could the boss, a salesperson, a manager, or someone from property management.

Tip Five – What the BDM should speak on.

The BDM is really the leading person to speak on the night because they are the ones making the management connection and winning the business. They could be speaking on your points of differences, highlighting sore points investors face, and how your service overcomes these key issues.

Make sure you keep the event content light and not make the sessions too long as people in general on an evening will be tired.

Tip Six – Have a promotion for the night.

Speak with some property management providers such as landlord insurers, tax depreciation experts, etc., and get them to supply you with an offer or prize available if they sign with you within x number of days.
