When clients and prospects remember you, they become clients FOR LIFE
Don’t ever drive past a home that you sold with another agent’s name on the “For Sale” sign.
The good news: NAR reports 90% of buyers would use the same agent again.
The bad news: Only 13% do.
Somewhere along the way, buyers lost their connection to their trusted agent.

It’s not the next Danielle Steel best-seller, but it’s pretty good.
Spoiler alert: There’s a bit of math involved.
Our results speak for themselves.
Below are just a few examples of what our clients are saying about American Lifestyle:
I get at least 2 new clients a year and they are always large assets, just from the magazine.
I’ve been using them for a long time! I love them and the phone rings every time my magazine ends up in my clients’ mailboxes!
I love ReminderMedia’s personalized magazines. I send them as an appreciation to my current clients with a reminder that I LOVE referrals. I know the magazine helps me stay in their face and they do indeed refer me to friends and family. The staff are always very helpful and able to resolve my issues or answer my questions the first time I call or chat. If you’re not using ReminderMedia for your advertising and retention needs, you should be!
I have been mailing the magazine for the past 3 years. I wish I would have done it sooner. This past year I have a partner that joined me and we both get great feedback and referrals from our past clients and new potential clients.
Such a client focused company, they are a first class operation. Been with them for many years and will continue to be a customer!
The magazines we receive are a fantastic way to stay connected with our past clients and promote our real estate business. Our clients love the high-quality content and beautiful design, and we appreciate the ability to customize each issue and feature our listings. Highly recommend ReminderMedia!
I’ve been sending out this magazine for years, and my clients absolutely love it. The quality is outstanding, and the content is always fresh, engaging, and full of practical ideas for the home. What I appreciate most is that it’s not just about me and all the homes I’ve sold, it’s about adding value to people’s lives. It reflects well on my brand, and I regularly hear positive feedback from clients who look forward to each issue. Thank you for creating something I’m truly proud to share!
This has been the most effective form of marketing I’ve used consistently for the past five years. It not only keeps me top-of-mind with my clients, but also helps me build lasting rapport. I regularly hear from clients who reach out just to thank me for the magazine—it truly makes an impact. Thank you ReminderMedia for your amazing products!!
The magazines are extremely well designed. The team works diligently to make sure you make a good impression. The content is valuable and I love the ease of editing the magazine. The feedback from my recipients is excellent. It’s worth the investment.
I believe I’ve been with Remind Media since 2009. Sending magazines and now entering the Digital era. Kyra has been amazing. I love the details that I learn each time we talk. I love that these products bring me more business and my clients love the Digital information they receive and they love the magazines. It’s nice to have feedback from people you think you’ll never hear from because they received a relevant piece of information from their REALTOR. The automation and the support is outstanding.
I wish I could give it more stars!!! Excellent guidance with clear understanding. Excited to see what others think of this publication….I am so impressed!!!!
Reminder Media is a fabulous company. Outstanding customer support and the magazine is a true high quality product which my clients love to receive. Plus there’s a digital version as well. I’ve been with Reminder Media for years. I’m a Realtor and think so highly of this product that I strongly recommend it to new agents I am coaching.
I have been sending out their magazine for several years now. I am so proud to do so. They offer such a high quality product that I share with my clients, friends and family. Many people will contact me to say what they love about my latest magazine. I will continue to use Reminder Media to help my business grow.
Great company to partner with for your marketing! Super helpful and very responsive,even on weekends! The magazine is beautiful and I’m proud to put my name and photo on it.
I have been using their professional publications for many years to keep in touch with past clients and friends. The content is great, the look is very nice and you have a choice of various magazines. They offer other services but I have not used any of those as I feel I get what I need from the magazine mailings.
I’ve been a Bay Area Realtor since 2008 and have been using ReminderMedia to keep my clients engaged since late 2018. The quality of the magazines are great! I like the ability to edit the features of the magazine that matter most and enjoy choosing from the many options available for the tear out cards. I have had many clients thank me for the great recipe selections. I can highly recommend this magazine for your marketing ideas and to stay on top-of-mind with your clients.
The best marking magazine! It is so professional.
ReminderMedia, is excellent! Whether it is their print magazines or social media emails both provides wonderful ways to stay in touch. Working with the marketing staff to specialize the”Good to Be Home” magazine is one of the favorite parts of my job. My clients love them. The quality of the covers makes you want to pick them up and once you open them you are hooked! The staff is always there to help! I have been a client for a very long time. Luke himself called me from the airport just to make sure I had been helped! That tells you a lot!
I love ReminderMedia for the way it sets my business apart from others. My clients love the magazines. I often get texts with pictures of them reading the latest issue with a cup of coffee and their message “look forward to reading your magazine every issue!” and shares of when they’ve tried a recipe . Those are great moments that I know they truly appreciate the fact I include them in the distribution. And RM makes it so easy to customize each issue; my clients think I do all the work because the customization allows us to be authentic in what we choose for our covers and additions so our clients feel it’s “us” in a magazine! I’ve been a fan for over a decade now!
Do you want to know my Ninja Secret? Here it is… ReminderMedia! I love all their products. Especially the Digital Marketing. I can send the digital magazine version and have ready-to-post social media content at the palm of my hands — and at affordable price. Highly recommended!
Top shelf products for busy real estate agents. There are very few products that I have used in my business with 100% satisfaction. ReminderMedia magazine publications keep me front and center with my clients and get me multiple referrals every quarter. Cannot recommend enough for ease, quality, and customer service.
I’ve been using ReminderMedia for years and their service has always been outstanding. The magazines are beautifully designed and consistently impress my clients. Sending them bi-monthly helps me stay top of mind—and my clients genuinely love receiving them. Excellent product and even better customer service!
I love the marketing tools offered by Reminder Media. The digital automation for social media is great, and the monthly newsletters and digital magazines are great for reaching my former and potential new clients. The representatives have always been helpful, kind, and patient. I would highly recommend this platform.
I have been a regular customer for years. My clients appreciate the content and enjoy receiving something in the mail they’ll actually read. Some keep the magazines for months. I walked into a clients home one time and discovered a pile of them. I love all the branding too and the customization options offered. It’s a huge time saver when compared to doing pop bys. And, anytime I needed help with either adjusting mailing dates or needed more time for customization, they have always been accommodating and easy to reach.
I have subscribed to American Lifestyle magazine for a few years now, and my clients tell me they have to flip a coin in their household to see who gets to read it first. I sent it to two clients who did not follow me when I moved firms; and within two years, both clients came over, and they said it was all because of the magazine!
It has been a pleasure using American Lifestyle magazine to connect with my clients. I recently started featuring a new client on my back cover, since I can customize the pages. My clients really get a kick out of it! I recommend ALM to all real estate agents!
American Lifestyle magazine has helped me create the image of a very successful Realtor. My clients are under the impression that I am responsible for producing the magazine. I just smile and enjoy all the praise.
I had a client bake something from a recipe card and give it to a neighbor. The neighbor loved it and asked for the recipe. My name was on the card and the neighbor called me a few months later to sell their house!
I’ve had several phone call requests to be added to my mailing list for this magazine after seeing a copy at the home of a friend. The magazine quality is so high that it raises my reputation within my community. I frequently receive positive feedback regarding the content and visual design.
I would like to say that I have been extremely happy with American Lifestyle as a company and everyone (literally everyone) I have worked with over the years. I find the magazine to be done in a highly professional manner and a true item of value. Many clients over the years have actually called and sent e-mails about the articles, my ads, and the recipes—yes, recipes too.
Two months ago, a client whom I helped buy a home received her magazine, and she was so impressed that she called me to thank me, sent me an e-mail, and went to my website and put a very nice testimonial of her experience.
Thanks for the great service you always give us at The Madison Company Realtors. After thirty five years in real estate, I know what advertising works and what advertising is a waste of time and money. American Lifestyle magazine works.
My clients rave to me about this publication! I receive no less than three calls at every issue and at least one referral with every other issue. I just closed a $1,000,000 sale from a referral from the last mailing.
I sold this nice couple a house eighteen years ago but lost touch with them. Three years ago I added them to my American Lifestyle mailing list, and since receiving the magazine they referred to me a new buyer–a doctor in a very nice price range! If I sell this couple a house, it will pay for about one hundred years of the magazine! Thank you so much ALM!
ReminderMedia is a very professional and forward-thinking company. They are always there when I need them, and even when I don’t! From the “just checking in to see how things are going” calls, to the frantic call from me because I missed a deadline, these folks are always pleasant and ready to help! The publication speaks for itself; it’s beautifully done, and my customers just love it. Thanks for being such a great company to work with!
I have been giving American Lifestyle magazine to my past clients for several years now. This past summer, I sold a house to a past client from 2006. This has been a great and consistent tool in touching base with them over the years. Everyone really enjoys the content of this magazine. I highly recommend this as a great way to keep in touch with past clients.
I am so proud to be associated with American Lifestyle magazine. From cover to cover, it is impressive. The articles are informative, tasteful, interesting, and beautifully displayed. My clients make a point to tell me how much they have enjoyed each issue. I especially love the repeated business I receive from my past clients due to the magazine I send them throughout the year.
I receive calls from clients telling me how much they love “my” magazine. I have been in real estate for almost thirty years and I have not had such a consistent positive response from any other form of advertising.
A family friend loved a recipe that came from the magazine and made it for a party. She shared the magazine with a guest, who loved it and also wanted to sell their home.
I am a heavy listing agent and I put an additional magazine copy in a “For Sale by Owner” mailbox. I received a call immediately from a 500k+ seller because of name recognition and the quality of my marketing, which was American Lifestyle magazine.
The first edition I sent out in 2006 resulted in a call from a past client. He commented on what a great recipe I had included in the magazine, and that he didn’t know I was such a good cook. I realized right then that I would have to read the magazine too.
I rented an apartment for a client and added her to my mailing list. Eight years later, I received a call that she wanted to sell her house in Islip, and her husband’s home in Dix Hills, so they could buy one together. She told me she thought of me because she loved getting my magazine and it was easy to find me!
Just yesterday I had a client tell me how much she appreciates getting the magazine. She mentioned she used to work for Artful Home, which is one of the ads in the magazine, and that she really enjoys the recipe cards. The content is just so relevant to people.
American Lifestyle magazine keeps me in the front of my sphere so my clients remember my name in association with anything real estate. The receptionist at my hair salon was leaving and told me one of the things she would miss about her job was reading the magazine at the desk where I sent a copy. Of course, I put her on my mailing list.
This magazine has led to number of cases of getting new money placed under management from existing clients.
It’s a differentiator for my firm!
We have received many compliments about the magazine from our clients and it provides a great added value! One more quality touch.
