We’ve talked about it time and time again. Videos are the key to successful real estate marketing: Why Video Is So Important In The Real Estate Market and Top Video Ideas for Your Real Estate Blog. In only a few articles, we establish the importance of the video in real estate marketing.
As mentioned before, if content is the king of modern marketing, videos are the crown prince that will soon dethrone the king. Yes, it’s that dramatic and that important. But we understand if someone is hesitant to invest in video marketing.
It takes time, energy and some bravery to be in front of the camera, honest and vulnerable in front of your clients. It’s really not an easy job and we’re not exaggerating the bravery required.
That’s why we suggest you to start your video marketing with animations. Animations have the best of both worlds. They are a video format, thus Facebook as well as Instagram will love this content. They are also entertaining and most importantly eye-catching. You may ask “is it worth it?” Well, we would say yes it is. It will also take time, energy and resources, like a quality video, but it can work even better than a typical video.
Do Your Research
Like every new marketing strategy that you’re going to implement in your marketing plan, animation requires thoughtful research—not only researching competitors but checking how a new strategy works for your brand as well. It’s a really important step to have one finger on the pulse once you implement something new. We suggest using Google analytics to track the performance of your animation videos.
Aside from tracking the performance of your first animation, it’s also important to check out what your competitors are doing with animations to identify the most important trends.
