Spread the Love Locally and Get Engaged – On Social Media!

by Steph Rady

Thanks to Valentine’s Day, February is all about spreading the love. But is your agency making meaningful connections with your local audience? If not, it might be time to boost your social media engagement and win their hearts online!

 

Sponsor Local Sports Teams – and Share It Online

 

Sponsoring local sports teams is a great way to get your agency’s name out there, but don’t stop at having your logo on a kit. Make the most of your sponsorship by creating engaging social media content. Post behind-the-scenes footage, match highlights, and player interviews. Encourage the team, parents, and supporters to tag your agency in posts and share their experiences. The more interaction you generate, the more visibility you’ll gain.

 

Support Local Charities – and Highlight Your Efforts

 

Supporting local charities is a fantastic way to build trust and goodwill in your community. Whether you’re hosting a fundraising event, collecting donations, or volunteering, make sure to document your efforts on social media. Use Facebook and Instagram stories to show real-time involvement, create reels highlighting key moments, and encourage your followers to get involved too. Engaging, feel-good content gets more shares and will keep your agency at the forefront of people’s minds.

 

Get Involved in Local Events – and Post About It

 

Events like farmers’ markets, Christmas light switch-ons, and summer fairs provide great networking opportunities – and even better social media content! Take plenty of photos and videos, go live to interact with followers in real time, and tag local businesses and organisers to boost reach. Running a competition or giveaway linked to the event? Promote it through your socials to drive engagement and get more eyes on your brand.

 

Partner with Local Businesses – and Cross-Promote

 

Teaming up with other local businesses can help both parties reach new audiences. But don’t just collaborate in person – amplify your partnership online. Whether it’s a co-hosted event, a joint giveaway, or simply a feature in each other’s social posts, this type of cross-promotion increases engagement and expands your reach. Tagging and hashtagging relevant businesses will ensure your posts appear in front of the right people.

 

Be Social on Social Media

 

It’s called social media for a reason! Engaging with local groups, commenting on posts, and participating in discussions makes your brand more visible and approachable. Most towns have active Facebook groups, so share relevant local news, answer property-related queries, and position yourself as the go-to expert. The more you interact, the more your agency will be seen as an integral part of the community.

 

Build Relationships for Long-Term Success

 

Strong engagement doesn’t happen overnight – it’s about consistently showing up, providing value, and building trust. By making an effort to interact with your audience and support local initiatives, your agency will earn recognition and loyalty. And when people are ready to buy, sell, or let a property, guess who they’ll think of first?
