When developing your online auction marketing you should remember that online auction marketing is the same as direct marketing. Direct marketing is marketing designed to create a need and get the buyer to respond. You are not brand marketing?hoping to build trust in your name or your company by spending money to keep your product ?top of mind? with the customer. You are marketing directly to get a response from the buyer.

John Beck's Amazing Profits system quick rule of thumb to create better direct marketing and to get better results with your auctions is to include three elements in all your online auction pages:

1. You want the potential buyer to visualize themselves owning the property

2. You want to give enough information to the potential buyer to create trust/credibility

3. You want strong call to action which means the potential buyer will bid on the property

Because your online auction ad is a marketing piece, you have to remember that you want to create and maintain interest in your product'in this case your property. You do this designing the ad to make it easy for the potential buyer to read, comprehend and desire to own the property.

So don't use hard to read colors or overlarge text or ALL CAPS--BECAUSE IT MAKES THE READER FEEL YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM! Do use a conversational style and a friendly tone. Include as much exciting information as you can gather about a property and its amenities because this will help the buyer visualize themselves owning both the property and its local area attractions and create a bigger desire in the possible bidder to actually buy the property. This little secret will greatly increase your final sales price.

Finally, become a student of marketing. Look at ads other people are using and track their results. Model your ads after the most successful ones so increase your profits. It is often said that in real estate you make your money on the buy?however, in reality, no money is made until the sell and if you can find a way to increase the sales price (and your profits) you should make the effort to implement it in your business.
