The high commissions paid by real estate developers to channel operators have become the online advertising costs of channel operators. That being the case, why don’t real estate companies go online to get customers?

1.Online customer acquisition, a competitive advantage that cannot be ignored

The leading real estate enterprises and many channel merchants strive to acquire customers online. The advantage of acquiring customers online can complement each other well. Let us first look at the advantages of online channels:

• Quick results

The reason why real estate companies reuse channel dealers is that they are quick to achieve results. And online channels, especially information flow ads, have the same characteristics. In the most typical case, ahead of real estate company once spent 30,000 yuan to put ads in a circle of friends, which attracted 4 million sales. Since then, the company has become a frequent visitor to the circle of friends.

Whether online advertising is CPC (pay-per-click)/CPM (pay-to-display)/CPA (mobile-to-pay), etc., it pays for results. Just as you advertise a customer to the sales gallery, the customer is only considered as an expense when they arrive, and there are no wasted marketing expenses.

• User precision

Benefiting from the maturity of big data, the current online channels provide customers with labels far beyond your imagination. Every once in a while, the subject of XXX software monitoring customer privacy will appear. Its essence is based on big data marketing capabilities. It can speculate that a certain group of people is more likely to be a buyer of your product and then display it in a targeted manner.

• Controllable costs

Compared with offline channels, the input of online channels can be minimized. A planner and designer can do the most basic work. Under the premise of stable copywriting and content, the conversion rate of customer leads is determined. This also means how much money you can do for how many things.

The traditional way of acquiring customers for housing companies belongs to the “e-commerce through”: I have a product and advertise it everywhere for customers to see, and then attract interested customers to actively buy. In the seller’s market, using “e-commerce through” to obtain customers is the most labor-saving. But when the market turns into a buyer’s market after a long period of sideways trading, the channel for acquiring customers with “traffic through” catches up.

Therefore, when acquiring customers online, real estate companies should learn to use “traffic through” to think about problems.
