Key Takeaways:Lifestyle-Centered Marketing: Highlighting features such as walkability, proximity to amenities, and recreational opportunities can help potential buyers envision their lives in the property. Unique lifestyles, like waterfront living or urban rooftop experiences, make properties more appealing.Visual Storytelling: Techniques like drone photography, nighttime imagery, and client-provided seasonal photos enhance marketing materials. These visuals emphasize not just the home but also the surrounding community, amenities, and lifestyle opportunities.Inclusive and Authentic Marketing: Sensitivity in videography and photography is vital, such as ensuring diverse representation in marketing materials. Collecting imagery and videos from clients can create a more authentic portrayal of the property's charm and functionality.Mini Movies: Beyond walkthrough videos, creating “mini movies” adds a cinematic element to property marketing, telling a story about the lifestyle it offers. Examples include showcasing family gatherings, outdoor activities, or neighborhood experiences. These videos can spark viral interest when done tastefully, even with modest budgets.Elevated Copywriting: Avoiding clichés and creating authentic, lifestyle-focused property descriptions are crucial. AI tools can assist in writing but require oversight to maintain accuracy and authenticity. Drawing inspiration from luxury magazines or engaging freelance writers are excellent ways to craft compelling narratives.Unique Showing Experiences: Sellers and agents can enhance property tours by creating immersive experiences, like ATV tours on large properties, hosting events that showcase the property's potential, or emphasizing the unique features of the location.Additional Insights:Marketing should tread carefully when representing demographics, ensuring it is inclusive and thoughtful.Creative videos and storytelling approaches, like mini movies, have been successfully used to highlight a property's exclusivity and lifestyle appeal, such as a famous Australian luxury property video that emphasized privacy through a bold concept.Storytelling can help properties stand out in a crowded market by evoking emotion, creating buzz, and showcasing unique lifestyle possibilities.

Agencies are an integral partner and part of the marketing process for many brands.

Inclusive marketing is a fairly new discipline. As a result, inclusive marketing consultants and strategists are newer areas of expertise for talent. Whenever I introduce myself and explain that I'm an inclusive marketing consultant, coach, and strategist, I always find that I need to explain what that means. That includes sharing the ways I support clients for people to get it. An inclusive marketing consultant isn't like a copywriter, sales person, or even market researcher where people tend to understand right away more or less what you do. Thankfully, more brands are focusing on building inclusive brands that attract and retain a bigger and more diverse customer base. As such, I thought it would be helpful to understand how an inclusive marketing consultant can support you in your efforts. This is especially relevant if inclusive marketing isn't firmly rooted into the DNA of the way your brand operates. Get the Inclusion & Marketing Newsletter

Marketing ethics, or more specifically, the ethics associated with inclusive marketing doesn't get talked about nearly enough as it should. Of course, I'm a big proponent of brands engaging and serving people from underrepresented and underserved communities. But there are times when I wish brands wouldn't focus on specific communities, and would just leave them alone. Why? Because in certain instances, brands do more harm than good when engaging with certain underrepresented and underserved communities. In this episode I walk you through 5 inclusive marketing ethical considerations, and the mindset you need to have to ensure you're not causing harm to the communities you want to serve.

Your marketing sucks... respectfully, maybe? But let's talk about the reasons it may be failing you and what you can do about it.Think of the "best practices" in marketing and business that you hold in high regard as foundational pieces to how you do marketing and business in the first place. When was the last time you actually evaluated them? Is that information relevant to where you are now and driving results home for you? What about the people, business, and resources you learn from and base many of your implementations, strategies, martech stack, and timelines on when both evaluating the market and your business? When was the last time you assessed the relevancy of those sources in today's modern era of marketing and business operations?Think of this episode as a mental questionnaire and checklist to reevaluate the core sources that influence how you look and do marketing.
