Chicago Title Division II & III Marketing Department

Marketing is about communicating the value of a product, service or brand to customers or consumers for the purpose of promoting or selling that product, service, or brand. The oldest – and perhaps simplest and most natural form of marketing – is 'word of mouth' (WOM) marketing, in which consumers convey their experiences of a product, service or brand in their day-to-day communications with others. These communications can of course be either positive or negative. In recent times, the internet has provided a platform for mass, electronic WOM marketing (e-WOM), with consumers actively engaged in review, rating on goods and services.

Our mission is to increase brand awareness and sales and therefore the profits of the company.

Our marketing strategy includes the coordination of the three elements called the 3 P’s of marketing (supposingly the 4 P’s, I have removed the Price strategy as all pricing is determined and must be filed accordingly, Marketing has little influence to this part of the equation):

1. identification, selection and development of a product,

2. selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer’s place, and

3. development and implementation of a promotional strategy.

Marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer needs and their satisfaction. Marketing differs from selling because (in the words of Harvard Business School's retired professor of marketing Theodore C. Levitt) "Selling concerns itself with the tricks and techniques of getting people to exchange their cash for your product. It is not concerned with the values that the exchange is all about. And it does not, as marketing invariable does, view the entire business process as consisting of a tightly integrated effort to discover, create, arouse and satisfy customer needs." In other words, marketing has less to do with getting customers to pay for your product as it does developing a demand for that product and fulfilling the customer's needs.

Sophia,

Thank you very much for the Reach150 e-mail marketing posts in the e-desk.
Last week I sent out an e-mail blast for 1 of our escrow officers here in the Carmel Office and she received multiple phone calls and e-mail messages.
She also was messaged to open 2 new orders from the e-mail marketing blast !!

Sales Manager

Sophia did a great job with coordinating the CAR Expo for Chicago Title. Not only did the booth look remarkable, but we were very well received with the materials we had to market with. The TRID wheel was instrumental in explaining the TRID changes and I personally saw so many agents “lights go on” when explaining it. Along with the other take-a-ways Sophia provided, we were told numerous times we had the best of the Expo, with agents telling other agents they need to come visit the Chicago Title booth. I can’t thank you enough Sophia, you were able to ensure we stood out. Our team as well as our clients felt that we really shinned above and beyond in a sea of other venders.

Sales Executive - Chicago Title Kern County


The Kern County Chicago Title newsletter was so well received and below is an email I received from one of our Tehachapi residents.

I also wanted to let you know how well the TRID Wheels have been received. EVERY single lender and agent that I have given one to has said that this is by far the best CFPB tool that they have received from any other company. Thank you so much for your insight! It definitely separates us from our competitors!

"Hi Jeannine,
I got the email about what’s happening in Kern Co. Thanks for talking to the ‘higher ups’ who put this out. Tehachapi’s Apple Festival was included for October. I hope they continue to include our wonderful town.
Thanks again.
Carol"

Keep it Up and Thank You Sophia!

Sophia Chan’s efforts and continued hard work is setting us a part from our competition. Not just helping us externally in the market to compete with value added tools but internally with our Sales and Escrow people. They know, no other company has the tools and resources we do to make their jobs easier. From the edesk email campaigns, fliers, promotional branded items to the recent TRID Wheels she created. We definitely appreciate her here in Kern County!!!

Thanks Sophia!!!

VP San Joaquin/Stanislaus/Tuolumne Sales Manager

There should be two eras as far as Marketing...PS (Pre Sophia) and AS (After Sophia). Comparing the two is night and day. Sophia's promptness and creativity has saved me on numerous occasions. The client and consumer is very visual meaning it is one thing to have the knowledge to explain the complexities of escrow and title related questions, but an entirely different thing to present them with a piece that is both visually stunning and informational.

Cheers to you Sophia and thank you for adding to our continued success.

I just was on the conference call that Sophia Chan put together for the Chicago roll out of ChicagoAgent 3.0. I have to express to you how impressed I was with what she put together for us to promote this amazing product. Sophia Chan is such an amazing asset to Chicago Title! Whatever I need as a sales executive, she is eager to create. The cohesive marketing that she has put together has created a uniformity that we have never had as a company. What a difference it makes to all of us on the front lines presenting to our customers. We look united and professional. We have asked for this for years and the position created for Sophia has filled that need and far exceeded anything I could have imagined! I just had to pass along to you how amazing she is an I am truly blessed to have her in my corner. I do not take that for granted at all and I wanted to say Thank You for seeing what an asset she is and sharing her will all of us.
