The current growing influence of online marketing has greatly impacted the real estate sector. It has not only increased the competition but also created the need for creating a strong brand identity for development projects.
A strong brand identity can help a project stand out in the market and attract potential buyers, investors, and partners. Before we list the procedure for developers to achieve this, let’s understand brand identity and its advantages.
What Is a Brand Identity for a Development Project?
The brand identity of a development project is all about creating the right image and presenting it. It may tell the story which inspired the project or the values on which it is based.
For instance, the brand identity of an affordable housing project can be designed to emphasise accessibility for the middle class. The brand identity of a high-end commercial building can be developed as a symbol of luxury.
Brand identity is how a development project will be presented to the public. It is built keeping in mind how you want the consumers to perceive the project. A strong brand identity can convey the vision of your development project.
Why Should You Form a Strong Brand Identity for a Development Project?
A strong brand identity for a development project is beneficial for the following reasons:
- Brand identity attracts the right audience since it can portray the project clearly.
- It improves the trust of the target audience in your project.
- Once you develop a brand identity, it is highly likely that potential clients and partners will recognise it quickly.
- It allows you to put the unique features of your project on the forefront, hence differentiating it from your competitors.
- Along with improving the marketing of that particular development project, it will improve the reputation of your company as a whole.
How Can You Form a Strong Brand Identity for Your Development Project?
Now, let’s have a look at the step-by-step procedure of a brand identity project for any real estate development:
1. Lay down a Clear Understanding of the Development Project
Brand identity in real estate development demands a clear understanding of several aspects of the project. They include:
- Business goals: Lay down a clear understanding of your project’s short-term and long-term goals. This way, you can align the brand identity with the business objectives of that particular development project.
- Values of the company: Your development project is an extension of your company. Make sure that your company’s values are well reflected in the brand identity of the project.
- Define the target audience: Get a clear understanding of who your ideal clients would be. Then, form a brand identity based on their needs and expectations.
- Unique Selling Points (USPs): Every project has some or the other USPs. You can create a brand identity revolving around these USPs to appeal to your desired customer base.
- Social media platform: At this stage, it’s also necessary to define which platforms you would use to promote the project. That specific platform would help you reach out to potential customers or partners.
2. Finalise Your Brand Elements
After defining your brand identity, finalise its visual elements like logo (company’s or new), voice tone (friendly, professional etc.), colour palette (consider target customer emotions), font (readable, consistent) and tagline (short, memorable phrase).
3. Promote Your Brand Identity
After creating all the brand elements, utilise them to craft compelling content centred on your development project. Here are some ways you can do so:
- Website: There are 750 million internet users across India itself. Developers can harness this potential by creating a strong online presence. One of the best ways is to create a dedicated website for any development project. Utilise all the brand elements explained above to make the website.
- Social media profiles: In India, 130 million people use Instagram, and more than 300 million are active on Facebook. Developers can attract their potential customers by creating and maintaining their social media profiles.
It is recommended that you consistently post relevant content regarding the development project on your profiles. You can also form a dedicated social media profile for a specific project.
- Paid advertising: Consider investing in paid advertising campaigns on social media platforms. It can help you with a better outreach for the potential customer base in less amount of time. Nevertheless, you must be consistent with posting good content on your social media profile to keep the customers engaged. A better engagement strategy can lead to more customer conversions.
4. By Having a Strategic Partner
A successful development project requires a well-rounded approach that considers every stage of the process. Here, a strategic partner can help you immensely in the following ways:
1. Strategy & Execution: They can help you plan a clear roadmap, which is a vital component. This includes defining your project goals, target market, and key performance indicators (KPIs). It also involves creating a comprehensive project plan with defined milestones and timelines. However, having a clear plan is only half the battle. A strategic partner can assist in the correct execution of this roadmap to attain the true potential of the project.
2. Marketing & Branding: A strategic partner will utilise website development, social media marketing, and targeted online advertising to make your development be heard and seen from far across. This ensures your potential clients will not miss out on any of your projects. They will also make your brand USP be expressed across the marketing campaigns, which will help to build up both your brand and its reputation.
3. In-Depth Research and Insights In-depth market research provides valuable data on your target audience. This empowers you to make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. A strategic partner can provide you with insights into areas for development, which in turn will help you to optimise the roadmap for maximum ROI on your projects.
4. Sales & Customer Focus: A strategic partner can assist you in your sales strategy and help you refine your pre-sales and post-sales proceedings.
It’s a combined effort of all of these steps and implementing strategic planning, effective marketing, meticulous project management, and a dedicated team that ultimately leads to achieving exponential results.
