It’s Friday, the 13th you all! The last Friday, the 13th I remember was in March of 2020 and it was a very bad day for the whole world. It’s the day we shut down. A quick google revealed that there’s been another one since then in August of 2021 but I have no recall […]

I took a brief hiatus in April due to spring break and the April episode of Homefiniti & Beyond. I’m glad to be back though because I missed writing. It’s a gloomy Friday here and there’s lots of work to be done so I’m thankful for this distraction from the rain and the piles of […]

Dax Shepard’s intro to his podcast is in my head as I start writing this today… Hello hello hello and welcome welcome welcome welcome to The ONeil Edit. I guess that’s my brain’s way of trying to psyche me up for writing this morning. I’m in a bit of a funk and finding exciting marketing […]

Oh how Ioath April Fool’s. I find it to a be supremely irritating tradition. Therefore, you shan’t find a joke or prank within these paragraphs. It’s cold here which is super lame because I am in desperate need for sunshine and warmth. It has yet to be confirmed but I have a sneaking suspicion that […]

This week’s Edit will be short and sweet, just like my attention span of late. Two of this week’s articles were actually shared on LinkedIn by family members which is a weird coincidence. Without further ado I’m diving in! META Facebook Ads AKA Meta Ads are getting an automated upgrade. Much of this involves new […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀one day late! It’s my favorite fake holiday and I really brought my A game to it this year. I bought light up Shamrock glasses and a matching shamrock light necklace to wear to all my video calls yesterday. It was an extremely video call heavy day so it helped keep […]

Last week there was no Edit because there wasn’t anything noteworthy to write about. This week is another story. As I have said before, often the themes in my work week are parroted in the week’s newsletter content. This is one of those weeks. First and Zero party data collection, email open rates, SEO, housing […]

Dynamic personalization in both website functionality and in marketing is highly effective. Somewhere between adding a person’s first name to a mass email and adding a potential home buyer’s family photos to digital frames in your model homes when they schedule a tour (and use their Facebook login to do so) lies the sweet spot. […]

And we’re writing… (or so the little voice in my head says as I begin to formulate the content of this week’s Edit.) I have a system for this endeavor. File all unread newsletters during the week into a folder in my inbox Friday morning open and read each newsletter, clicking open any articles that […]

It’s been a minute but since the last Edit, I traveled with Dennis, Megan, and Angela to my first in person IBS. Dennis summed it up nicely in his post; it was everything I heard it was and more. I came back with a full tank, ready to help our builders achieve their sales goals […]

A day or two or twenty late but not a dollar short. 2021 was a WILD ride for builders and the charts agree. It started with such huge promise in every conceivable way but as the year wore on not only were new home builders dealing with skyrocketing lumber costs, labor shortages and supply chain […]

And just like that…..January is over, IBS is around the corner and I’m feeling pretty pretty good about this year. Anyone else jumped on the SATC reboot bandwagon? I loved it! Between that and Emily in Paris my love of clothing and fashion was reinvigorated. There is already major outfit planning for IBS happening. I’m […]

Round and round we go! The world seems to be spinning away at an incredible speed and we’re now just 2.5 weeks out from IBS! We’ve got 5 team members presenting and are excited for a host of other programs down there. The big bad Omicron variant seems to be slowing down and from all […]

I feel like the last 3 weeks have been a never ending game of dodgeball and the ball is Covid. I spent 7 hours waiting to get my oldest tested on the eve of Christmas eve and even ran into a client at the doctors office. Smalltimore at it’s finest. She was negative. Just took […]

To close out 2021 we decided to interview three members of team ONeil about their home buying experiences. The episode was prerecorded on Tuesday. From first time home buyer to experienced pro, the three team members represented a good cross section of today’s buyer. Rachel, Jenna, and Megan walked us through their recent new home […]
