3. 3 Use Social to Stay on Their Minds
1. Engaging with potential future buyers
2. Establishing long-run brand positioning
3. Creating brand advocates & brand loyalty
4. Visual content is king – people look at properties
even when they are not considering buying
! It is not just about selling property in the present
Keeping your brand in people’s minds
Challenge: Ride the Peaks, Flatten the Troughs
4. 4 Strategy for Long-Term Engagement
Having an active social media presence can help property
developers and real estate agents keep their brand in people’s mind
! When it comes to purchase, benefit from earned brand loyalty
Content examples:
1. Engaging visual content - Pinterest / Tumblr feeds attract followers,
even those not immediately planning to buy property
2. A “Hub” where your followers can engage with content on various
platforms (video, pictures, articles etc.)
3. Something for followers to look forward to – e.g. “Property of the
month” (dreams & aspiration)
4. An ongoing Twitter conversation that’s organic and creates an
emotional connection
Keeping Them Keen
