HomeBuilder CMO's: Your Construction Team Can Help!

The rapidly changing relationship between marketing and technology has been discussed by many; we found an interesting article summarizing an IBM study analyzing CMO issues. We think there's an opportunityto utilize technology employed by your construction team to help address the areas highlighted as CMO concerns:

(1) data explosion and social media;
(2) growth of channel/device choices; and
(3) shifting consumer demographics.

What do you think?  Are these your concerns? And.. are we serious about how your construction team might help?  Absolutely!
Live from your job-site: relevant and engaging content!

We like to think your construction team can help you deliver value to your customers and help create lasting relationships with your customers, as well.  How?  By taking advantage of recent construction scheduling software features utilizing new devices mentioned in #2 (above). 

Encourage your Field Managers to take "stage of construction" photos or video.  CPS FieldConnect Mobile makes it easy to email those immediately -- from the jobsite. Then, post those images on your website! 

Have a special "behind the scenes" story to tell?  Going green in terms of materials or processes?  Here's a unique, up-to-the minute way to tell your story! And, these stories will help you stand out -- both to potential and current buyers.

Social media (#1 on the list) is another great location for these stories.  Post Lot #12's grading photo; there's no doubt Lot 12's buyer will re-post it on his/her Facebook page, too!  Now, your buyers are joining your marketing team; and they're telling your story!

Did you know over 60% of Millennial (aren't they are large component of #3 above?) social media users will look-up a brand mentioned on a friend's page? You've just expanded your marketing reach -- not only in sheer numbers but to a demographic that is very relevant in today's market.  And, you've made a huge step in keeping them engaged; who knows when you'll post another image or aticle directly relevant to them? 

Try it; let us know how your content is becoming more relevant, more appealing and helping address those concerns outlined above.  Want more information about CPSFieldConnect Mobile?  We can help there, too!
