HOMEBUILDER MARKETING STRATEGY

This is a classic David vs. Goliath story. Our client was one among four homebuilders that were selected by a real estate developer to launch a master-planned community in North Florida.

CHALLENGE

Three of the competitors were national homebuilders with huge marketing budgets. Our client was the only local company. How does David stand up to not one but three Goliaths?

SOLUTION

Our research revealed that the buyers placed a high value on craftsmanship. We developed a campaign that compared tract homebuilders with the semi-custom, local craftsman. Our “Higher Standards” campaign carried a simple promise: “What other builders call upgrades, we call standards.”

Using targeted Facebook Advertising, Google AdWords, social media posts, email marketing, local realtor outreach, outdoor signage and local lifestyle magazine ads and articles, we encouraged the buyers to get more without paying more.

RESULTS

The Higher Standards campaign helped our client achieve some early wins but more importantly, established a solid foundation for brand extensions and growth. Higher Standards put our client on equal footing if not ahead of the larger national homebuilders in terms of brand presentation and reputation metrics.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

You guys are just awesome. Seriously! We’ve never had so much interest and excitement about our new homes and communities. It was so evident at this weekend’s grand opening event. We looked like the high-end, semi-custom homebuilder we always envisioned being. Your work is relay helping us row our reputation in this market. — Chris Shee,
