Today, we're going to give you some creative real estate marketing ideas so you can fill your units and keep your profits stable. It's easy to be overwhelmed when your marketing efforts aren't working. Keep reading and you'll see how a little creativity can go a long way.
Video Marketing Matters
Video marketing is one of the most effective ways to market businesses in general. When it comes to marketing commercial real estate, video can effectively showcase a property and stimulate leads with effective visuals.
In this day and age, having a video walkthrough of a property is essential in finding tenants quickly. It gives them a better idea of what the property looks like and whether it fits their needs. It does all of this without them having to see it in person.
SEO-Optimized Website and Listings
Search engine optimization on your website and property listings will help attract potential renters. Even commercial renters use search engines to find potential office space. You need to be able to appeal to their search terms.
SEO is a long-term solution to your commercial property woes. Gradually, as you establish yourself at the top of the city's listings, your open units will be the first thing potential tenants see when they look for office space.
Email Marketing
Email marketing allows you to personalize your marketing message to acquire more legitimate leads. However, most commercial property marketing efforts fail because they're unable to stand out from spam emails.
The best thing to do is place a high value on content. Give your readers a reason to be interested in your commercial space and write strong CTAs to entice them to your listings. When done right, there aren't many types of marketing that outshine email marketing.
