Marketing Summary
Century 21 The Harrelson Group is a local real estate firm specializing in various types of residential sales throughout Horry and Georgetown Counties. It is our non-traditional approach to marketing and our commitment to developing trained sales professionals that gives us the competitive advantage that our clients are looking for. Applying our go out and get them mentality versus the wait for them to come to us is why we feel you should consider us as your exclusive marketing team. You will notice below that our marketing plan is based on total emersion of the market. We approach sales from many angles. We know that today’s market demands we hit consumers and agents by phone, fax and internet.
Action Plan
- Print Advertising Campaign – recent studies and our proven track record have shown that the internet is the most effective media for marketing therefore we chose to limit our print advertising.

- Select Newspapers
- Email/Internet Marketing Campaign
- Top internet exposure in the area.
- 30,000 plus in our database
- Systems in place to convert the leads by having our trained agents prospecting on a daily basis.
- Systems in place to handle over 200 leads per day.
- MLS Marketing Campaign – One of the biggest mistakes that companies are making in today’s market is that they are not using leverage to their advantage. We know that 70% of sales will come from cooperating agents in the MLS. With statistics like this, we must look at this seriously and capitalize on the 3000 agents that are working with buyers.
