Australia’s first stock exchange, located at Collins Street, looking east from Queens Street, Melbourne, 1883. In the 18 October 1852 issue of the ‘Argus’, Edward Khull listed 14 companies in which investors could buy shares. This was the first stock listing in Australia and led to the formation of the Melbourne Brokers Association, which traded from rented space in the
We uploaded videos to a client YouTube channel yesterday, and with a single block of just four hours with us the channel is now full of content and looks fantastic. We’ll chop up the primary video to create a further 100 snippets or so that will eventually find their way onto social channels. Having video on a YouTube channel is
Note to clients. We’ve updated the authentication system on your website as a result of some partner discussions last week (that moved the goalposts in a very beneficial direction). Yabber manages multiple groups of contacts, such as clients, partners, introducers, referrers, property groups, and so on, and the new system will update session permissions based on user groups and sub-groups.
The former Chiltern of the Bank of Australasia was designed by Anketell Matthew Henderson of Reed & Barnes Architects and constructed in 1877. The building was a fully operational branch of the Bank of Australasia until 1943 when it closed and became a private residence. The Bank building has also been an Italian Restaurant, the Mulberry Tree Tearooms/B&B and The
Meeting with Terry and Dan from nMB. Always a pleasure hangimg out with these guys. You have to look very hard for people that are more dedicated to their brokers.
This is a note for clients. We’ve added a ton of features to the website framework over the last few weeks – pictured is just a few of them. Far from exhaustive, the most recent update includes an autocomplete address form that immediately redirects to a full property page, the same for an emergency search engine, and a post-type based
I spent just four hours with a WA broker yesterday, and he shot what might be a record 30+ videos in that short time. Take after take was fluent, inspired, and without error – it was seriously impressive. I’m very clear with business owners – the video we shoot won’t have much of an impact on anything unless we do
During the week I spent a large part of every day running programs for a client in Edmondson Park. The area where I worked is close to the local YBR office, and you’ll note from the photo that the office has a fantastic location directly opposite the railway station. It’s street-level locations with tons of ‘static’ and foot traffic (like
Note to clients. On the back on the Streets API, and as another necessary measure before we introduce the Property Module and website widgets, we’ve added a single search form on your website that’ll search a single Aussie address and then immediately redirect you to a dedicated page with a ton of data specific to that location. The point of
This is a great example of what *not* to do with forms, and it serves as an indicator of marketing mediocrity. I normally wouldn’t care what anybody did with forms, but in this case, it comes from an AFG subby that promotes their marketing in a way that suggests its effective. Sadly, their presence is ridiculously bad. I required a
Every now and again I feel the need to prove a point because there are still brokers and other businesses that are led to believe by the leadgen charlatans that investing in (what is usually non-compliant and/or illegal) pay-per-lead services is a good idea. Paid leadgen services might charge around $18-$20’000 for the pictured 148 leads, while our broker paid
The pictured YouTube channel was empty yesterday. Today, there’s nearly 50 videos with about a dozen more to come. The same videos (and extras) were split into about 200 snippets for social that might be used over 6 months. Time to create the library? One day. Immediate business impact? Zero. As I told James before, during, and after our shoot,
