DELTA!! Fashion Show

I strolled in around 5:20pm and snuck into the restroom to finish my makeup. I ran into Mariam whom I met at the Contra Costa FS a few weeks back. I have her phone on my cel now and I promised to take pics of her on the runway and send to her. Love all my WCR Friends!

The raffle gifts lined the entry way. I was able to check in, easy peasy, table 7. I ordered my ticket on line but they also had physical tickets.

I ran into Lynn Valintis and Melanie. Always awesome to run into friends at these events!

I stepped out to the patio where the pre-fun was starting. I am sitting here soaking it all in. (I started this blog in that moment on my iPhone. Blogger was not so easy to work with on the phone once I started adding pictures)

The weather is perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed people watching. I thought about having a glass of wine but I knew I had a drive home. I really liked the Friday night schedule. 

We were able to our tables at 6:15. I ran into Cecily........ more friends!

I bought my $20 of raffle tickets and started dropping them into the variety of bags. (About 20 raffle prizes 

I liked this one a lot!

It is a writers basket!

I loved the rose petals all over. Nice touch. Dinner was buffet and yummy - chicken parm, NOM!!

Show begins at 7pm with God Bless America and soldiers representing all the military branches.

Liz - Delta network - love her!

 

Runway:

Here is Mariam! She had some great fashions!

 

I don't know this lady but I liked her pose!

7:30 break for live auction - one week lodging in Lake Tahoe followed by a dinner preparation from an Italian taught cook. Jodi came and chatted with me for a little bit. MORE FRIENDS!

The entire evening I was texting Matt and Mimi. They were definitely missed!

I won the Writer's basket!!

The finale was the models coming out into the audience dancing to Happy. This was a great way to end, on a high note!

I left right away at about 8:45 and got home at about 10pm. I was excited to check out my basket of winnings! Good night!

FB paid ads

I've been playing around with facebook paid ads.

A couple of hundred dollars later:

I do have a list of addresses from my "Do you want to know how much your home is worth" fb ad that went to a landing page: PrimeSellerLeads (https://www.facebook.com/PrimeSellerLeads1?fref=nf)

I followed up with the phone numbers that were provided (response was, often: "ohh, maybe that was my husband/daughter that must've done that") I also followed up with snail mailing a business card, notecard, and RPR report. No conversions yet.

I then went on to experiment with landing pages (aka squeeze pages) with some type of give away (aka lead magnet). I used LeadPages.

Setting up the LeadPages took a few hours.
Setting up the lead magnet report took a few hours.
Setting up the image for the facebook ad took a few hours.
Setting up the facebook ad took a few hours and a cost a couple hundred of bucks.

This garnished me with 3 email sign ups.....

I think my most successful facebook pay to play testing was with Boosting Posts.. (also the most simplest to activate) .. the analytics are quite interesting as well.

Bottom line: I am intrigued with this online paid marketing opportunity on social media, it is a bit of a distraction from my real estate business, and then as listings and escrows start to come together, I can focus less and less on this. Ultimately, I don't want to manage this lead generating option, but I do need to have general understanding of it.
