Elements of the Marketing Program

1. Beckman pays Coracle a flat annual fee based on the number of key-word terms he chooses at a rate of $1,300 per four-word string; Coracle guarantees first-page placement for a four-word string (e.g., Mason County real estate).
2. For listing clients, Beckman guarantees first-page search engine placement plus a showcase listing on Realtor.com, MSN and AOL.
3. His monthly mail campaign to his farm area is the key to promoting what he has to offer to prospective listing clients-each mailer makes clear the steps he follows in marketing every listing.
