A strong digital presence, particularly on social media, is essential for letting agents looking to grow their business and win new landlords. In today’s world, 87% of buying decisions start with online research and 67% of consumers make decisions based on social media posts, therefore not utilising free social media platforms could mean missing out on reaching untouched landlords.

Yet, knowing where to begin on social media can be challenging. With countless ways to create and promote content, it’s crucial for letting agents to focus on what matters most to new and existing landlords.
