Email Advertorials

As an advertorial, these marketing emails are an opportunity for you to reach the REALTOR Magazine audience as they prefer to be reached – via editorial (content marketing) related to your product or service. Our most impactful and effective messages are targeted directly to specific segments of NAR’s membership. Curated distribution lists include:

  • Association Executives
  • Commercial Members
  • Brokers

Additional filtering and targeting demographic criteria, such as education level, age, gender, estimated household income and more, can ensure that your message reaches your target audience. This is an exclusive opportunity with limited weekly or monthly availability.

Helpful Hints & Copy Content Recommendations

  • Every email and its subject line should be targeted to a specific audience. Download the guidelines document to review a few popular list options (page 9).
  • Avoid using sensational words and marketing/sales language.
  • Include an image of the person using the product. The image should be related to or representational of the story.
  • The Subject Line should be positive, compelling and not sensational or click-bait. Consider using the subject or preheader text to promote an offer.
  • CTA button to be included following first paragraph, before the scroll. Consider text like “read more” or “shop now”. Avoid “click here”.
  • Emails are presented as 650 px wide on desktop and an average of 375 px wide on mobile.

Deadlines and Proofing

  • Materials are due at least two weeks prior to email send date
  • Necessary alterations are the responsibility of and at the expense of the advertiser
  • Materials that do not meet stated advertising specifications will be rejected
  • Once the advertiser-provided assets are approved by NAR, a proof from NAR’s email system will be sent to advertiser for approval
  • A delay in materials or advertiser approval could jeopardize the send date and result in not running at all; or pushing out several months due to the popularity of this targeted email opportunity

Content Should

  • Identify the specific business problem you are solving and ensure that the solution and story you are conveying provides value-add content to the reader. Provide thought leadership via an editorial piece covering an industry or market problem and discussing how the product can solve the problem or meet the challenge. A strong thought leadership piece will include quotes or examples from one or more sources with success stories.
  • Offer an editorialized perspective on how your product or service effectively solves this problem for the reader/user. This is best achieved through telling the story of an actual product user. Utilize a source, a person who is using the product, who can be quoted/cited in some way. This should be a real-life person speaking to their experience and how they’ve applied this product to accomplish a goal or solve a problem in their business. Note these should not be traditional marketing testimonial quotes but true, longer-form success stories.

Technical Specifications

  • Subject Line (30-50 characters/4-7 words)
  • Preheader Text (30-60 characters)
  • Headline (30-50 characters)
  • Call to Action (CTA) Button Text (2-3 words) and HEX Code Color (ex. #FF5733)

Good Neighbor Awards

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Good Neighbor Awards recognize REALTORS® who make extraordinary contributions to their communities though volunteer work. Celebrating its 22nd year, the Good Neighbor Awards has become one of the most beloved awards bestowed upon NAR members, and has donated nearly $1.4 million in grants to REALTOR®-led charitable organizations that help people in 40 states and 15 countries. Good Neighbor Award sponsors benefit from months of editorial and advertising exposure—from the call for entries to the culmination during NAR NXT in November. The Conference highlights include the awards presentation and video for an audience of 6,000 at the General Session, a gala dinner celebration, and a booth on the Expo Floor.

State and Local Sponsorships

Become a sponsor for a local or state Good Neighbor Award to promote the “good” that REALTORS® are doing in their neighborhoods and one that mirrors the national Good Neighbor Award Program that NAR promotes each year to 10 winners of this prestigious award – now in its 22nd year.

Background

NAR research shows that REALTORS® volunteer in their communities at more than double the rate of the general population. That should be celebrated and promoted!

To increase the number of REALTORS® who are recognized for their volunteer work, NAR encourages state and local real estate associations to launch their own Good Neighbor Award. NAR offers a toolkit and tips to make that process easy.

For the last three years, NAR has offered funding to encourage state and local associations to launch their own Good Neighbor Award. This generated a lot of momentum and new programs.

The benefit of these local and state programs from NAR’s standpoint is that each time a Good Neighbor Award program recognizes another REALTOR® it generates positive local and national media coverage about REALTORS® doing good and reinforces the message that REALTORS® do much more than sell houses–they improve communities.

2023 Sponsor Benefits

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to be part of a growing initiative at NAR to communicate how much good REALTORS® do in their communities. Become a sponsor today and receive the following promotional opportunities!

  • Name and logo on the web page
  • Name in all editorial mentions about the program
  • Name in social media posts promoting the program
  • Name at all awards ceremonies for the local and state winners

Natalie Matter Bellis
National Account Executive

The term REALTOR® is a membership mark of the association and it means “member of the National Association of REALTORS®  and we restrict its usage. 

CORRECT USE OF REALTOR®

REALTOR®, REALTORS®, and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® are collective membership marks that serve to identify members of the National Association of REALTORS® and distinguish them from nonmembers. 

Members are licensed by the National Association of REALTORS® to use one or more of the marks in reference to themselves and their real estate business. The term REALTOR® denotes membership, not the jobs performed by members, and should only be used in contexts that relate to membership. 

REALTOR® should not be used interchangeably with the titles “real estate broker” or “agent” or a person who provides those services. 

The term REALTOR® is always capitalized, followed by a registration mark (®). The words REALTOR® or National Association of REALTORS® should not be hyphenated. 

It is incorrect to use descriptive words or phrases to modify the marks (i.e., Top REALTOR® or Successful REALTOR®). 

The first time the official name “National Association of REALTORS®” is referred to, it must be stated in its entirety. Thereafter, the abbreviation NAR may be used. 

All advertising materials must conform to this policy. The advertiser will be charged for any corrections made.

PROHIBITED AD CONTENT

This list provides a broad-base guideline of images and content that may be deemed inappropriate by NAR.

    • Including, but not limited to, generic forms (“REALTOR® Day”) or as an adjective (“Top REALTOR®”)
  • Any claim of an “Exclusive Member Benefit” in relation to  NAR brands, except as approved by NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® program.
  • Third-party intellectual properties (i.e. Disney, Apple, Starbucks)
  • Real estate-related recruiting

  • The word “advertisement,” in not less than 7-point type, must be carried at the top of all advertisements that carry no signature or simulate editorial material. The advertiser will be charged for alterations and corrections.
  • All advertising contract position clauses are treated as requests. Since editorial requirements change as issue production progresses, the publisher cannot guarantee fixed positioning.
  • Advertising materials will be stored by the publisher for 12 months and then destroyed, unless otherwise requested.
  • The publisher will not be bound by any conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on order blanks or copy instructions when such conditions conflict with the regulations set forth in this rate card.

RATE POLICY

  • Rates are based on frequency within a 12-month period from the first insertion.
  • Advertisers earning higher rates than established in their initial contract will be credited. A short-rate invoice will be issued when it is apparent that the contract upon which billing has been based cannot be completed in a 12-month period.
