Mixing Businesses May Send a Mixed Message

With the economic landscape still unstable, real estate practitioners may be tempted to supplement their income with a side business.

Agents who decide to pursue this approach, however, must be warned that cross-marketing products and services that do not complement each other likely will prove to be an unsuccessful venture. For example, a realty professional who decides to also sell beauty products to the same client base could end up losing credibility with both sets of customers.

While the optimal strategy may be for a real estate practitioner to simply devote 100 percent of his or her time and energy to the primary business of real estate, those who do dabble in other areas should at the very least choose to cross-sell products and services that are compatible.

If that is not possible, another person should be brought in to spearhead the secondary business.

In cases where neither of those options will work, agents should refrain from promoting the two businesses simultaneously, meaning that they should keep marketing for the two income streams completely separate -- whether in written marketing materials or in person, such as by wearing a REALTOR® pin while hosting a Pampered Chef event.
