Campaign phases

A development sells in phases, so the marketing does too

Each phase has a different job and a different measure of success, and a property development marketing agency should plan all four before launch day. Treating it as one launch is how projects end up discounting the last few lots.

Pre-launch
Build the register

Ads to the right buyer profiles drive registrations of interest to a project landing page. Success is a list of qualified names, not likes.

Launch
Turn the register into appointments

Registered buyers get first access by email and SMS, with display suite or sales office appointments booked straight from the message.

Construction
Keep buyers and prospects warm

Progress footage shot on site keeps purchasers confident and gives undecided prospects a reason to come back.

Final release
Sell the remaining stock

Campaigns for the specific lots left, aimed at the buyer type each lot suits, instead of blanket discounting.

Audiences

Different buyers, different reasons to buy

An investor and a downsizer can buy in the same building for completely different reasons. Each gets their own message, creative and landing page.

Your project
One development, several buyer types, separate campaigns
Buyer

Owner-occupiers

Care about layout, light, the neighbourhood and the builder’s quality. Show them the lifestyle and the finishes.

Buyer

Downsizers

Care about low maintenance, location and certainty about completion. Show them the builder, the timeline and who else is buying.

Buyer

Investors

Care about the area, rental demand and the developer’s track record. Give them the numbers and the facts, not mood shots.

B2B channel

Buyer’s agents & brokers

Bring investor clients to projects they trust. 3rd party B2B data lets us reach them directly with project information made for advisers.

A launch campaign that built a list and nurtured it

Unity Grammar, a well-established school in Sydney’s west with about 1,000 students, was launching a new online program and needed to bring students in at scale.

What we did: we built two high-converting landing pages, ran Meta ad campaigns to them, funnelled the leads into a custom webinar email flow designed in-house, and integrated every lead into their CRM so the team could contact each one individually.

Why it’s relevant to developers: a new release has the same structure as a new program launch. A clear landing page, low-cost registrations, then a nurture sequence that turns interest into appointments over time.

We haven’t published a property development case study yet.

Everything above is how we would run a development campaign, built from methods we’ve used for other clients: launch campaigns like Unity Online, and separate creative for separate audiences like BCS NDIS, where six ad concepts aimed at two audiences booked 30 consultation meetings in 30 days. On a strategy call we’ll be straight about what transfers to your project and what doesn’t.

The project brief and stock mix, your target buyer profiles, release timing, the sales team’s process for handling registrations, and access to the site and display suite for filming.

FAQ

Property development marketing questions

When should a developer start marketing a project?

Well before launch. The pre-launch phase is where you build the register of interested buyers, test which messages work for which buyer type and line up appointments for release day. Starting at launch means paying more for every buyer.

How do you keep registrations warm during a long build?

Automated email and SMS sequences, plus progress footage shot on site. Purchasers stay confident, and prospects who weren’t ready at launch keep seeing reasons to come back.

Do you replace our sales agents?

No. We bring buyers in and keep them engaged. Your sales team or selling agent runs the appointments and contracts. Every registration is synced to your CRM so they can follow up quickly.

Can you reach investors and buyer’s agents, not just home buyers?

Yes. Investors respond to different information than owner-occupiers, so they get their own creative and landing page. For buyer’s agents and brokers, 3rd party B2B data lets us reach them by role with material made for advisers.

Is this a real estate agency service?

No. We don’t list or sell property. We run the advertising, creative, landing pages and nurture that bring buyers to your project. If you need a builder for the project, see our commercial builder marketing page for how builders find developers.
