When it comes to Brand Marketing, there is only one version of the truth.

By February 28, 2019July 28th, 2019Uncategorized
Builders are updating their brands, launching new mortgage services, innovating smart home platforms and finding creative ways to deliver customer experiences in their markets at a brisk pace. Here are some of our favorites: Taylor Morrison - Dorothy Mortgage Technology D.R. Horton - Home is Connected - Smart Home Platform TRI Pointe Homes - Smart Home Innovation HomeSmartR Minto Homes Post-Sale Experience Mastercaresm Ashton Woods Inspiration Collection - Realtor Program Our large builder clients are almost always in "launch mode" for a new service or experience, Community or Corporate brand update. All of these require a consistent brand message when they are brought to market. In brand marketing, there is only one version of the truth and centralized resources are an easy way to ensure that your brand touches are sending the exact same message wherever a consumer engages with your new home builder brand. Centralization is one of those things that sometimes feels counter-intuitive in an industry that operates in an intentionally decentralized business model that is designed to serve regional home buying preferences. However, our Builder clients are finding ways to centralize their brand marketing so that they can design consistent experiences that differentiate their brand at important milestones in the new home buying process. Signing Day and Welcome Home Experiences are two areas that are being centralized more and more as Builders discover the benefits of creating a customer experience that can differentiate them in all their local markets. Builder Procurement professionals are seeing the benefits of centralization economically too. Companies like Brand Central Solutions provide centralized eco-systems for digital marketing and digital asset management in addition to brand launch portals for marketing collateral and print. Builder Promotions recently helped a top Home Builder centralize their Welcome Experience for their largest market. The outcome was a synchronized effort that supported their three brands in four key regional sub-markets. This helped them differentiate their own brands from each other and all the brands from the regional competition. It was a way to create simplicity for the marketing teams and speak the same brand message to all their new home buying consumers. Brand Central Solutions, a Builder Promotions company, is addressing this shift to centralized resources that are designed specifically to serve an expanding and decentralized organization.
