Why our brochures are so popular #Spencers #Sheffield #Estateagents

Have you ever shopped for a holiday online? You scroll through piles and piles of offers but if you’re like me, you will only really look closely at the ones with the pretty pictures. Do you stop to read that there is a hair-dryer in your hotel room? Or a 24 hour concierge service? In the initial throws of looking, I do not want to be bogged down with minute details and equally I do not need to be told that there is a swimming pool, when I can see quite clearly from the hotel pictures that there is in fact a pool, complete with a bar and a lovely view.



From these two photos you can see that this house has period features, such as ornate coving, sash windows, shutters,  central heating, an Aga, and is well presented and loved by the Vendor (are you still with me? Or have you fallen asleep?). The more observant of you will probably notice the outside brick built store through the kitchen window, and the granite work surfaces. This is all information that is important to have confirmed prior to offering, but initial marketing material is there to get that potential buyer through your door and needs to be exciting and appealing.
We have now started to move away from the traditional style of boring room by room explanations, we do not feel it necessary to patronise our buyers by telling them that there is a “large rear facing double glazed sash window with a central heating radiator beneath” when it is quite clear from the large, bright, professional photograph that both of these aspects are present.
With our lives becoming busier and busier, people are wanting at-a-glance information in the form of photographs and floorplans, so we have responded accordingly, making our photos bigger with a high resolution for those interested in seeing all the details close up. All our brochures have large floorplans on for people to annotate and even draw in their own furniture if they wish.
I could tell you even more about it, as we love our brochures, but we’d prefer to show you.
