But how do you choose the one that’s best suited to your needs? Here are some key considerations to help you make an informed decision.
Understand Your Needs and Goals
Look for Industry Experience
An agency with experience in senior living or multi-family housing will have a better understanding of your residents, local markets, and strategies that suit those residents and market. They’ll know the best approach to reach potential residents and understand the unique selling points of your communities. Ask potential agencies about their previous work in your industry and request case studies or references. Learn more about our work in the industry here.
Evaluate Their Services
Marketing is complicated, it encompasses digital marketing, traditional marketing, content creation, social media management, SEO, PPC advertising, and more. Assess the range of services each agency offers and ensure they align with your goals. For senior living, for example, having expertise in content marketing and marketing individual care-types, while multi-family housing may benefit from strong SEO and PPC campaigns.
Check Their Track Record
A proven track record of success is a strong indicator of an agency’s capability. Look at their portfolio, blogs, and client testimonials. Successful campaigns in the past can give you confidence that the agency can deliver quality results for your operating company.
Assess Their Creativity and Innovation
The real estate market is constantly evolving, and your marketing strategies need to keep up with current market trends. Choose an agency that demonstrates creativity and innovation in their campaigns, but keep in mind that previous work is influenced by specific clients and not always telling of their capabilities. A quality marketing agency should be able to provide fresh ideas and adapt to new trends, technologies, and platforms.
Consider Their Communication and Reporting
Effective communication is crucial for a successful partnership. The agency should be responsive and keep you updated on the progress of your campaigns, but clients should expect to be involved in the process and responsive in return to keep projects on track to the agreed upon timeline. Additionally, they should provide regular, transparent reporting that allows you to see the ROI of your marketing efforts. Ask about their communication process and the types of reports they provide.
Evaluate Their Digital Presence
An agency’s own digital presence can be a good indicator of their capabilities. Check out their website, blog, social media profiles, and overall online presence. Are they actively engaging their audience? Their ability to market themselves can give you insights into their ability to market your properties.
Discuss Budget and ROI
Marketing budgets can vary widely, so it’s important to find an agency that can deliver value within your budget. Discuss your budget upfront and ask how they plan to achieve your goals within that budget. Additionally, ask about their approach to measuring ROI and how they ensure that your marketing spend is delivering tangible results.
Meet the Team
Your relationship with your marketing agency should be a collaborative one, so it’s important to meet the team you’ll be working with. This can help you assess whether they’re a good cultural fit and if you’ll enjoy working with them. It also gives you a chance to gauge their expertise and enthusiasm.
By evaluating potential agencies based on their experience, services, track record, and communication, and ensuring they align with your budget and goals, you can find a partner that will help you thrive in a competitive market.
