MarketReach Email Marketing System from iHOUSE Web Solutions Now Available to All Realtors®

iHOUSE Web Solutions has expanded its online marketing services with MarketReach, a standalone email marketing system available to all real estate professionals, independent of having an iHOUSE website. Features include hundreds of pre-written real estate articles, property flyer templates and eCards to send to clients and friends, as well as a contact manager and email campaign manager.

OAKLAND, CA, May 23, 2006—iHOUSE Web Solutions, a division of CIS Data Systems, Inc., and a leader in realtor web site design, hosting, and online marketing services, has launched its iHOUSE MarketReach email marketing system as a standalone service for all real estate agents and brokers. It had previously been available only to iHOUSE website customers. iHOUSE MarketReach is designed to help agents expand and manage their network of contacts by automating their promotional activities with a cost-effective and streamlined email solution.

iHOUSE MarketReach enables real estate professionals to stay in constant touch with their clients, prospects, and referral network with features that include a library of hundreds of pre-written real estate articles, pre-designed and customizable eCards and property flyer templates. eCards can be sent individually or as part of automated drip email campaigns to pre-defined contact lists. Property flyers templates are used to instantly convert property listings into email flyers complete with multiple photos, details, and branded contact information.

To manage their contacts and campaigns, agents can import contacts from a variety of sources, export records for online and offline use, and organize contacts into multiple custom lists for targeted email campaigns. They can build and schedule an unlimited number of campaigns with an interactive event calendar that sends alerts and displays all campaigns, and they can even create email reminders for specific events such as birthdays and home anniversaries.

“The best reason to use iHOUSE MarketReach is because it works,” says Paul Sheng, CEO. “Email is a proven marketing tactic for building a business, and we have made it easy and fun to use. And it saves so much money on postage and printing, and so much hassle from running to copy centers, that our customers wonder why they didn’t get it sooner.
