Summer Propaganda Hits Property Market

Given the shrinking purchasing power and the increasingly limited number of actual buyers within the Egyptian property market in general, this summer season marks a new challenge confronting the growing pack of real estate companies operating in coastal cities. Thereby, here is exactly where the significant role of marketing departments comes into play.

Nowadays, real estate marketeers are exploring more options to meet their promotional targets, and they consequently have to work out the right combination of marketing techniques to use.

Generally speaking, all marketing aspects should be taken into consideration, including the content created to entice potential clientele, budget allocated for each marketing line, timing set for each campaign, and locations chosen for promotional activities.

After all, integrating marketing communication tools all together is the optimal option for developers to unceasingly expose their brand and publicize their projects, while dividing promotional budget across different channels should be attentively carried out to take full advantage of peak seasons, such as summer, and convey curated marketing messages to the maximum number of prospective clients.

Here is What our International Expert Daniela Andreevska Has to Say:

Speaking of summer, Invest-Gate reaches out to Daniela Andreevska, marketing director of US-based real estate data analytics company Mashvisor, and gets the best practices and golden tips for promotional actions Egyptian real estate firms can apply and put into effect.

Speaking of locations, Andreevska reckons that advertisers should place their ads in hot summer venues, noting that people tend to spend more time outside in the summer, visiting parks, gardens, swimming pools, and other outdoor entertainment places. She further indicates that these ads could be banners, flyers, brochures, short videos, or anything else that would catch the eyes of frequent visitors.

Hosting a summer event or joining one, in the marketing director’s views, is also an efficient strategy to grab the consumers’ attention. “Depending on your marketing budget and on the preferences of your local community, you can choose the best type of event; you can host a barbecue, a sports event, a scavenger hunt, or a fun day,” she explains.

When it comes to digital ideas, Andreevska encourages real estate companies to create virtual tours of their coastal properties and post it on their website, social media, send it with mailshots, or use it as an ad in local hot summer destinations.

The everlasting golden tip is to pep up the real estate brand by using summery and cheerful designs for both printed and online ads, while ornamenting the company’s offices and chosen venues with flowery plants and connecting the brand identity to the summer season in every possible way, Mashvisor’s marketing director concludes.

Simply put, real estate marketing is all about sending the right message to the right people and making use of every potential exposure opportunity targeting prospective clients. That’s why property developers never get enough of marketing ideas and welcome every summer with new astounding campaigns, while merging the right mix of old-school promotional strategies and super advanced marketing tools.

“If you really want to succeed as a real estate professional in summer 2019 and beyond, you should combine traditional real estate marketing ideas with high-tech ones to create the ultimate marketing strategy,” Andreevska concludes.
