How does a vendor decide which advertising vehicles are worth the money?
Does a property get better exposure from saturation advertising in a few well chosen advertising vehicles or is the reverse true - a few ads in each of many different vehicles brings better results?
Most professional agents conduct bona fide local research to establish what media work best in their area. Informed vendors would do well to ask if agents have done that research and what the results show, rather than making the assumption that the more widely (thinly!) they spread their advertising dollar, the more successful it is likely to be. While the successful media vary from location to location, the number of media that is supported by statistics is usually no more than four.
Confusion arises because some less professional agents recommend a wide range of advertising vehicles that sound good to the lay consumer even though the statistics about where the purchasers come from don’t actually support them. It is easier for some agents to offer to advertise in a large number of media rather than do the research that isolates where the vendor’s dollar is best spent.
While most of the traditional advertising vehicles (window display, local paper, signboard) are still as popular as they were in pre-internet days, statistics show that the internet has modified the way most people make their first approach to the property search. In the US, eight out of ten people (in Australia and New Zealand seven out of ten) make their initial foray into the market via the Internet. After all, the net is convenient, inexpensive and wide-ranging and it allows purchasers to be anonymous until they are ready to buy.
