Welcome to the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association's Public Awareness Campaign site. Wisconsin continues to be one of the most stable real estate markets in the Midwest. In 2009, the WRA and its membership committed $126,000 in funds to promote the homebuyers tax credit campaign.
 

The focus of the campaign is:

Raise awareness of the 2009 Tax Credit program, who is eligible and how long it is available.
 
Continue to educate Wisconsin consumers that the real estate market is still favorable in terms of price, selection and mortgage rates.
 
Drive consumers to a REALTORS who can help consumers find the right home for them.
 

More Facts


New in 2009

For more than a decade, the Public Awareness Campaign has been working on behalf of members to educate and persuade consumers about the value of hiring a REALTOR®. The 2009 campaign will use a combination of radio spots and social media to promote the new tax credit program.

The radio component will utilize sports radio networks to get the buzz going and drive listeners to a new microsite (www.wisconsinhomebuyer.org) containing more information, news and testimonials on the tax credit program.

T
he 2009 campaign also includes a Facebook Fan Page, a Twitter feed and a YouTube Channel.


"WisconsinHomebuyer.org“ will promote interaction and education on the tax credit program. RSS, social booking and video sharing (Youtube) will be used to stretch the campaign into online communities and create more traffic back to the microsite and drive more folks to REALTORS®. Visit our Microsite at wisconsinhomebuyer.org.

 "Facebook Fan Page Social media will be utilized to create a viral buzz about the Tax Credit using online elements such as video, news, flyers, radio commericals, banner ads, testimonials and more. The heaviest concentration of PR will happen on Facebook. Visit our Facebook page at www.wra.org.

 


2009 Media Plan

The 2009 radio public awareness campaign will run from mid-April through end of October, with the heaviest buys in the spring (to reflect historic market activity), lighter buys in the summer, and an increase in the fall to reinforce the tax credit deadline.

Spots run during pre- and post-game with live reads and a “Win at Home” sweepstakes. Statewide Radio is a network of 68 stations. 15 spots per week over 10 weeks will be run, for a total of 10,200 30-second radio ads.
