To have an effective inbound marketing program, including proper social media presence, you absolutely need a great product or service. That goes without saying. But you also need to be different than your competitors. You need something that makes you unique. In the world of marketing, we call this a unique selling proposition or USP.
Trying to maintain a presence on every social network would result in very little remodeling getting done. Concentrating on just one or two social networks, however, and building a good community within them is better than spreading yourself too thin across them all.
Sometimes the line between sales and marketing gets a little blurry in the homebuilding industry. A lot of times it’s not clear when marketing is done with their job and the work of the sales department kicks in. But sales activity today (just like marketing) has changed over the past few years. It is no longer a matter of “getting someone out to see a model” and then hoping you can close the deal.
