Have you ever watched a movie that started off great but stopped being interesting somewhere in the middle? Or a sports team that jumped out to a big lead early in their game only to lose their advantage and ultimately lose the game? I have seen condo project sales that looked like they were doing everything right to start but were failing to follow up, and it looks remarkably similar. The project marketing process, like the game winning process, takes effort from beginning to end. Today I will discuss how important it is to follow up, and how to follow up, if you want to win the project marketing game.

Making a sale is never just about the words you say to the customer, even though those matter too. Great marketing is about engaging a wide array of senses. When you send an email, the experience is mostly visual; the less you use photos or videos for your project marketing, the better your words need to be. With phone calls, you have words plus voice tonality and a hint of body language (which gets reflected in how you speak). With Video Skype and FaceTime, you push audio and visual information to the customer. Now, if that customer should come and visit your condo project sales or marketing office, why would you not want to take advantage of all the senses you can engage to your benefit? Let's discuss what successful sales and marketing offices do to give customers a full experience.

Innovation can be difficult to come by when every company spends most of their time looking at what their competitors are doing. That just results in a lot of copycat marketing, where everyone in the same industry is doing the same thing. You might find condo project marketing or real estate project sales agencies, for example, adopting similar tools and methods to others and hoping for a different result. While it can be smart to keep tabs on your sales competitors, you will have a tough time leading the pack if you don't look anywhere else. Watch the consumer instead. Thanks to social media, it's easier than ever to watch the consumer.

One-size-fits-all marketing solutions rarely hit the whole audience being targeted. At best, they may get the one type of buyer who best fits the message, and at worst you are lucky to get more than a lukewarm response from any buyer. Fortunately, today's analytics and ad technologies allow you to create different campaigns targeting different buyer segments. You may as well bring those campaigns to any traditional media you intend to use for similar effectiveness. If you try to hit many targets with one arrow, you will hit no more than one target and miss all the others. With my method, it's more like having a unique arrow for each target and hitting all of them right in the middle. To show you in a more direct way what I mean by different buyer segments, I am going to discuss three types of buyers I have encountered in my many years of condo and real estate project marketing. Then I am going to give you an example where this method would be tricky, but should still work.

Back in 2004 when we were working on a project for IntraWest, email databases were the big thing. One property, Keystone, happened to be the best at capturing email addresses by the simple act of circling that field on their form and suggesting to registrants that email is an important thing to provide. We spent a lot of effort analyzing their data and figuring out who was most likely to buy, and we found that leads who spend the most time on a website are most likely to become buyers. It's now 2013 and that process is still good but it's no longer cutting edge. Let me tell you what is.
