This episode of the podcast is a really fun one. Sam Ashdown is a leading property industry marketing coach and with her son in law Phil Jones, she co-owns Fire Wave a marketing agency for estate agents, and also Ashdown Jones the Lake District estate agency. She's been featured in the Times, the Telegraph, on BBC Radio 4 and in House Beautiful. But Sam is also a friend of mine and we often meet up in a peer mastermind group and chat to each other about our businesses. We thought it'd be fun to do a conversation on the podcast, that is a little bit more like the kind of conversations we have privately comparing notes on running our businesses and about what we're trying to achieve and how we do it, rather than doing a formal interview process. That means we have a bit more of a candid conversation, where we cover everything from what our dreams are for our business, how I might be able to buy my dream 4 million pound home in London. How Sam started her very first business as a teenager delivering dog food, the myth of passive income and how she copes with controversy.

Another TOP performer in today's podcast session. She's been there, done it twice and made the t-shirt, jeans and jacket to match! Sam is someone I look up to as a business person who just gets marketing, and if you listen to her story and follow her success, you can see why! Superb chat with a superb woman. Pour yourself a drink, or put on your running shoes and enjoy Thanks Sam!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andrew-baxter/message

Marketing Estate Agencies with Phil Jones When it comes to marketing estate agencies, Phil Jones is making a real name for himself. Two years ago, along with his mother-in-law and former podcast guest, Sam Ashdown he set up Ashdown Jones, an estate agency in the Lake District. Two years later, they have a leadership position in the Lakes for high end properties. Additionally, Phil is fast becoming an expert in the use of direct mail. Ashdown Jones has made significant progress in their first 2 years In the last 2 years, they have sold 50 houses. Sam Ashdown insisted that their market was going to be the affluent, high end and so all those houses will have been near to or above the £1m mark. A house in the Lake District is very special. They chose to help vendors of UNIQUE homes. Although there is not a specific price for that, it tends to be a minimum of £500k. With remarkable honesty, Phil admits had Sam not insisted on marketing to the affluent, on his own, he says he might have tried what every other agency does and try market to everyone. Marketing Estate Agencies What is remarkable for Ashdown Jones, is they no longer have to rely on 3 way pitches to secure new clients. You know the thing. 3 agencies put on a dog and pony show and the winner gets selected by the vendor (how is uncertain, gut feel probably). Now, Ashdown Jones have prospects asking them to market their property. Once they learn how it will be marketed and what they will do, what they have done for others, prospects are only too keen to ask, almost beg them to sell their home. And Ashdown Jones pick and choose too. They DO NOT serve everyone. That's a bad idea for any marketer. Any industry. Twilight Photography Lights on, mean you are at home. Is this the secret to appealing to the sense of belonging? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Twilight.mp4 Phil markets everything to people's emotions, rather than their logical side. Sam Ashdown was a house stager in her past, so they create staged rooms. Every photograph they take is styled for who they think will buy that house. A lake view will be shot to engage the viewer, to make them believe that they are sat there, with a glass of champagne, staring out across the lake, contemplating a lovely meal to come, in their house of their dreams. It's as if they are creating stories in photography. Local Marketing Club - Lake District Sam and Phil run a local marketing club for local businesses in the Lake District. It takes place on the first Friday of the Month. At Windermere Golf Club. They have a 100 local businesses from the Lake District. What a place! Contact Phil Jones on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/philjones-directmailexpert/ Mastermind Phil is an expert in direct mail. They focused on direct mail when they first started. Response rates were average. So 12 months ago, they invested in a Mastermind. A five figure investment. He is an expert copywriter. More about psychology rather than the words. They know that long copy plays on emotions Now they get 11-12% return. The mastermind is Nick James. Seriously Fun Business is Nick's company. Phil is spending real money on education. Phil says: You have to see a piece of copy as the second best thing to a face to face meeting: http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Direct-Mail-101.mp4 Direct Mail Tips Create curiosity straight away. Hand write the envelopes Target accurately - they have used Council Tax Bands FG and H for homes they want to market to They chase some homes they feel they should be responsible for marketing the home. Be selective about the homes you want to market. Very often the Ashdown Jones board outside houses is a pride statement. AJ are the most expensive in the Lakes. A special For Sale Board They have a very special board. The images are of the home itself. Not Ashdown Jones as such.
