August 15 2016
If you're anything like me, your social media newsfeeds look a little something like this: millennial major life announcements (OMG yayyyyy, congratulationssssss!), political news (woof!), world events, and Pokémon GO!
Pokémon GO, a new gaming app for iOS and Android devices, has taken over social media and day-to-day activities, and is primed for the sizzling hot summer real estate market! Or is it?
If you're already playing it and wondering if you should incorporate into your real estate business, I have a few examples on how you might use and maximize your game time at the same time. The popularity of this app could help you boost open houses, help buyers find their dream homes in dream locations, and even build credibility as the local expert. Still not sure? I'll show you the ropes and how you can use it to catch all the millennial buyers!
So what is Pokémon? Here's a brief rundown. Pokémon soared to popularity in the late 1990s-early 2000s as a Japanese anime cartoon with main character, Ash Ketchum, aspiring to be the best Pokémon trainer in the world. The Pokémon are mythical creatures in various shapes, sizes, colors and abilities. Ash's goal is to "capture" these creatures and "train" them to fight others.
In the Pokémon GO game, you are the "trainer" and it is your job to capture, groom, train and "evolve" the Pokémon into lean, mean, fighting machines! The game's augmented reality technology is some of the best on the market, harnessing the power of Google Maps mixed with video game technology, forcing users to physically get up and get outside and explore the world around them in search of these mythical creatures.
One of the popular attractions in the game are "Poke Stops," real world places you visit to gain essential items in the game. Examples of Poke Stops can be anything from a bus station, a popular mural or an office building. If you need to get your 10,000 daily steps in, using this app will surely help since you have to move around to find the Pokemon! Here are four ways to incorporate Pokémon Go into your business.
