Week 1: Campaign Set up, Pre-Launch & Launch

WEEK 0 (CAMPAIGN SETUP & PRE-LAUNCH MARKETING)

You only have one chance to make a first impression with the consumer. Many agents and brokerages stumble on this step and cost their sellers real money when buyers don't value the home enough to make solid offers. So how can you avoid this misstep? Much of the property marketing campaign rests on the consumer's ability to find your property onlineÂ… and to find it with the right information. These pre-launch activities, therefore, are designed to seed the marketplace, optimize for SEO, and position the property for the best possible impression right out of the gate.

  • Marketing Narrative and Lifestyle Story for the property, location, and neighborhood is drafted with client input.
