The 80/20 Rule of Marketing for Small Businesses: Where to Focus First

The 80/20 Rule of Marketing for Small Businesses: Where to Focus First

September 18, 20252 min read

As a busy real estate agent or home services pro, marketing can feel like an extra full-time job. You know it’s important, but with so much to do, where do you even begin? The answer lies in a simple but powerful idea: the Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 Rule.

The 80/20 Rule states that roughly 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. In marketing, this means that a small number of your activities will lead to the vast majority of your success. The key is identifying that high-impact 20% and focusing your energy there.

Your "20%" is Closer Than You Think

Many small businesses make the mistake of spending all their time and money chasing new leads who have never heard of them. While new business is essential, your most valuable opportunities are right in front of you. The most effective 20% of your marketing efforts are often about nurturing existing relationships and generating referrals. These leads already trust you or were referred by someone they trust, making them far easier to convert.

High-impact activities that follow this rule include:

  • Staying top-of-mind with past clients.

  • Building strong relationships with strategic partners like lenders or contractors.

  • Maintaining a consistent, valuable presence in your local community.
