There is a lot of discussion about these new marketing
buzzwords: content marketing, social media and SEO. With so much focus on
big-picture ideas, many builders are uncertain about how to apply these new
tactics to their business.
In the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) Master Session, “Back
to Basics: Marketing Essentials to Build Your Brand,” you will go back to
basics to learn how you can set up an annual marketing plan centered on the
essential components that drive traffic in person and online. You will learn
how to apply the essentials good marketing is built on and leave with an action
plan to implement a successful marketing plan for the year.
In this three-hour advanced session, you will:
- Learn the necessary components of a successful
builder marketing plan. - Identify how to determine budget and allocate
marketing dollars in the most beneficial way with the least amount of waste. - Identify the right message and content to
generate action from today’s homebuyers as well as how to get that message in
front of the appropriate audience. - Learn how to evaluate the effectiveness of both
your online and onsite marketing program and when/how to implement change
throughout the year.
