The New Standard - Marketing Commerical Real Estate

The opportunity came my way from my best friend. I was about to learn from a test project about social media marketing in real estate.  Still to this day, majority of the commercial real estate broker dismiss most of the forwarding thinking technology that is already here. This is due primarily to their long client based relationships and tenner in the industry.  

The test project was to assist in the marketing efforts towards exposing an estate to the digital world. Already was an amazing video tour with aerial views taken from a private aerial videographer and a visually appealing web site. The challenge was that there were not many views or visits to the website. The plan was to create a full circle using the other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter and utilize all the social media vehicles in sequence to lead followers to the web site.  The truth was that I didn't completely understand how everything was going to work out.  Setting up the accounts were fairly easy and the rests was manpower. The plan was to make as many authentic connections and continue to post daily relevant posts.  The Facebook advertising dollars also assisted greatly. Facebook advertising has a user friendly demographics targeting strategy. Without a doubt, this made a significant difference in targeting new traffic to the site.  The end result was success. I was able to significantly increases to the landing page visiting and expose the estate to a much larger digital world.

Through this experience, I learned a valuable lesson about the social media world and how it might work in commercial real estate.  The next project that I would experiment with would be for an office building in Woodland Hills. When traditional commerical real estate marketing efforts needed some additional support, this is what happened. Stay Tune. http://woodlandhillsoffice.com/
