Challenge

The main challenge for The Station at Maplewood was increasing their social media presence, as well as capturing new potential leads from different online marketing channels. Before The Station at Maplewood joined Social Vantage, the apartment community struggled to gain exposure and traffic to their website. Our team knew that it could be a difficult task since there are many other apartment communities around the same area. However, we knew that with our real estate experience on social media and the effective strategies we use, we would have no trouble marketing this brand successfully.

Approach

The strategy used for The Station at Maplewood is very similar to the strategy we use for all of our real estate clients. The strategy consists of a few different areas of focus: content, advertising and social channel growth. Working very closely with our client, our team did major demographic research to pin point exactly what the demographics looked like for an individual who would want to reside in The Station at Maplewood apartment community.

Once that research was complete, we began to initiate the very first round of content to be posted for the social channels, as well as the “Page Like” advertising campaigns. While all of that was being prepared, our advertising and design team was working on the next stage of the strategy, the Facebook newsfeed advertising campaigns. These newsfeed campaigns were going to drive people to our custom built “landing page” where they would enter their information to “schedule a tour” of the apartment community.
