- Market study in Las Vegas. Nevada Beverage needed to increase consumer market share. Went after the coolers in the grocery/convenience stores.Developed new packing/products to reach different target markets (Bud, Bud Light, 6-Packs, 12-Packs, Cans, Bottles, Long-necks, etc).Moral of the story: they looked at CONSUMER BEHAVIOR to drive their Market plan…….So what does this have to do with The Internet?Let’s talk about the consumer behaviors of Generation Y for a minute….Generation Y (ages 18-29) represents more than 70 million consumers in the United States who have a collective income of approximately $1.89 trillion. Since most are still in their teens and twenties, their total earnings are expected to grow to as much as $3.5 trillion over the next decade. They spend around 30 hours per week online and they don’t define “The American Dream” as home ownership!So what are they doing online?
- Here is what your renters are doing online?Searching, Surfing & Socializing.Define each of these as it applies to the Multi-Family Industry.Social – The New Word of Mouth152 million – The number of blogs on the Internet (as tracked by BlogPulse). 25 billion – Number of sent tweets on Twitter in 2010 100 million – New accounts added on Twitter in 2010 175 million – People on Twitter as of September 2010 7.7 million – People following @ladygaga (Lady Gaga, Twitter’s most followed user). 600 million – People on Facebook at the end of 2010. 250 million – New people on Facebook in 2010. 30 billion – Pieces of content (links, notes, photos, etc.) shared on Facebook per month. 70% – Share of Facebook’s user base located outside the United States. 20 million – The number of Facebook apps installed each day.

- There are over 25,000,000 searches a month for “apartments” related terms on Google, and if Google accounts for 2/3 of the search volume than that would mean there are over 37,500,000 searches a month across the web for “apartments” related terms.Of specific interest:“las vegas apartments” – 90,500“apartment reviews” – 110,000READY TO BUY AUDIENCE!Surfing – fantastic opportunity to brand & remarket your business.Socializing – Two or more people talking about you, without you! Not just Facebook & Twitter (Bud & Bud Light). Many other “flavors”.Reviews – Not only does it help/hurt the purchasing decision, but NOW HAS a major impact on what consumers see, when searching!
- Start to get familiar with the term: Web Presence. This is the Internet equivalent to FULL MEDIA MIX!Consumers will find you in many different ways depending on their own backgrounds, habits, behaviors & needs.Most businesses have 1 static site, but your renters are finding you in many different places throughout the Web.We define these places as:Your Sites Your website, blog or profile page.Local Directories Map listings, Reviews, etcSocial Media Facebook & TwitterContent Sites YouTube, Flicker, etcThere are literally thousands of these sites….. (next slide)
- Right now, everyone is talking about Facebook & Twitter (and for good reason), but (as you can see) there are MANY MANY roads leading to your properties.Renters consult multiple online sources before choosing where to live.Of the 71 percent of apartment hunters already active with social media, obtaining supplemental information including recommendations, visuals and special offers topped the reasons they tap these websites during their apartment search. The respondents ranked the top five benefits of using social media during their apartment search as:1) Finding additional apartment community information and recommendations (58.1%)2) Seeking photos and videos of apartments (54.7%)3) Searching for apartment listings (52.7%)4) Hunting for special incentives and offers (46.8%)5) Sharing apartment information with friends and seeking feedback (20.7%)
- Audience involvement: Who thinks they understand how consumers are Searching, Surfing & Socializing when choosing an apartment?Winner gets the Bud Light!Now to talk about why a planned Web Presence strategy is So very important to you, please welcome our Director of Multi-Family, Justin Mink.
- You need a comprehensive strategy that covers all bases – buying & building presence to optimize your web presence – Web Presence Optimization (more consumers finding and engaging in more places) has replaced the old SEO (the totality of your online existence was your website, and SEO was attempts to drive traffic there)
- Buying and building presence – brief description of paid search, brief overview of new local listings and claiming places
- Next, enhance your web presence by publishing fresh new content in the many places that your community can engage you. Build community + generate positive reviews = increased discoverability (search & social)
- Buying and building work together to help you dominate shelf space and control how your brand is presented. Advertise (buy), and publish (build) – google places, facebook, twitter, yelp, apartmentratings.com, blogs, Flickr, Youtube, etc
- The benefits are multi-fold: 1) generate referrals and build community through social discovery (Joe finding his buddy on Facebook), 2) generate good will and community advocates/evangelists = credibility with renters AND Google, which will lead to, 3) more roads that lead to you and are controlled by you, paved and expanded to become super highways…dominate that real estate and increase your market share
