Importing Your Farm (if using an existing farm data file)
The Market Builder Bundle takes care of creating and delivering real estate postcards on your behalf, collecting contact information from interested prospects, AND, following up on a regular basis. It’s your full-time, full service real estate prospecting and marketing system. One method to define your farm is to prepare your addresses in an CSV or XLS file.
Section 1 – Preparing the data file
First you will need to prepare your CSV or XLS file to conform to the MB file requirements. With XLS files only one worksheet is supported.
The minimum number of addresses to include in the file is: farm size + 10% top up. The maximum number of addresses to include: farm size + 10% top up + 20% for invalid and duplicate addresses
All Import files must contain the following field types:
Contact First Name
Contact Last Name
Street Address
City
State
Zip Code
Example:
|

Section 2 – Uploading the data file
- Login to the Top Marketer Control Panel
- Click the Market Builder drop down menu
- Click Mail Campaign.
- Click “Upload Custom List (Microsoft Excel or Comma-Separated Values (CSV) formatted list)”
- Click Browse
- Select your CSV file
- Click Open
- Type a name for your list of addresses
- Click “Upload File”
The file will be validated by Market Builder. If any addresses fail validation you will be prompted to edit the addresses to correct them.
If all addresses pass validation the farm will automatically start. Should you wish to make any changes to the farm you will need to reset the farm and re-upload your file.
