What is the best selling item on your menu? 

FortyFive Roll or Blu Martini Roll: Crab Cream cheese, spicy sauce, avocado, cucumber, wrapped in soy paper. All of our sushi is great. We really have well rounded menu items.

Depends on the season. We have over 30 martinis to choose from on our list.

You’ve created a unique ambiance in each location-what’s the story behind your choices?

I just wanted a modern interior and something different for our city.

After the conference, we had the chance to check out a new event that takes place in downtown Indianapolis the third Thursday of every month from 4:30-6:30, Downtown Diggs, a series of downtown open houses to allow you to experience what Indianapolis has to offer in downtown living.  This week’s event was capped off with an event at the Skyline Club, hosted by one of our clients, Nathan Pfahler.  I don’t think you can get a better few of the city than this and the hospitality was great!

We’ve had a very exciting year of adding new features and enhancements to our real estate service.  We now offer SMS Text Messaging, Toll Free Voice Messaging, and Virtual Tour (both mobile optimized and online) in packages priced at what our competitors would charge for just 1 of those services.  We’ve also sought expertise in web site design, blogging, social media and email in order to bring these applications to our clients looking to take their real estate business to a whole new level.

How long have you been a realtor?  

I have been a Realtor for 4 years

What made you get into real estate?

After being in the corporate world for several years after college, I decided that I needed to do something that would not limit me in any aspect.  I can run my business the way that I want, in a more effective and profitable way.

What’s your favorite area to show homes and why?

I don’t have a favorite area. I show homes all over Indianapolis and beyond!  I have no boundaries!  It’s just really amazing when I walk into a house with a client, and I can tell the moment that they decide that it is their new home.

What do you do in your spare time?

I play tennis, run, hike, golf, read, and go to the pool or lake.  I also enjoy spending time with my family.  Attached is a photo of my sisters and I hanging out during a recent trip together.

What impact has mobile marketing had for you?

It has made information on a house even easier to get without talking to a Realtor right away…who wants to do that? LOL!  It does allow me the opportunity to follow up with potential buyers in the manner in which they request information (text, call or email).  It also appeals to the sellers because it is another avenue of advertising that many Realtors aren’t utilizing (yet).  I’ve earned the business of sellers simply by showing them all of the resources I use in order to sell homes. 

Any additional information that you would like to share?

The market is coming back and that makes everyone happy!!!

Thanks Jason!

While providing an automated weekly report helps to keep our customers informed about how successful their mobile marketing efforts have been, it does something more important for Connective Mobile. It helps to quantify the value of our service to our customers through measurement.

Providing data to customers allows them to see the response that they are getting each week and over time and it also allows us to look at the success of our customers as a whole.  Without measurement we wouldn’t know that 75% of our agents have inquiries on their properties every week and 60% of our toll free calls press 1 to speak to the agent. We would also be unaware that we have one client with 30 active listings that generated 24 leads on his properties last week. Yes, in one week! The ability to quantify these results is probably the most important part of our service as it allows us to show that our Digital Home Info service does in fact deliver results!  With that said, we still love to hear from our clients about the details of how our service has worked for them.

Last Tuesday Firebelly Digital, an Indianapolis Internet & Social Media Marketing company, went to YATS in Broadripple looking for members of the YATS Text Club (Mobile Marketing). They found so many that they were able to put together this short video. Hope you enjoy it, we did!

It’s this unique combination of wit and boldness that has led Firebelly to create a wildly successful text club for Yats! Cajun Creole. Using a combination of social media, in store marketing and a clever “Secret Tuesday” campaign Firebelly has been able to add more than 700 subscribers to the Yats! text club in the past 6 weeks…with numbers continuing to grow daily. While that is impressive in and of itself, Firebelly has also demonstrated that text message advertising has had amazing results for Yats. Tuesday afternoons are no longer the slowest time of the week, Tuesdays are no longer the slowest day of the week and sales for the entire month are up.

Additionally, Firebelly created a tremendous amount of buzz around Yats and the “Secret Tuesday” message which generated these customer comments on Facebook:

I set my alarm and left work to be there by 2. Yummmmm, I LOVE this promo!

I was SO there at 2pm on Mass Ave. Italiano/Spinach Mushroom for me, rocked as usual.

I was 4th in line @ 96th street! Got the Chicken Maque Choux!! MMMmmm!!! Thanks for the free lunch!!

When asked about the success of the mobile marketing campaign Firebelly Creative Director and Founder, Duncan Alney, responded by saying “There is buy in from top management. Also, like any good marketing – it has good creative messages, and it is integrated with our social and real world messaging.”
