Refresh Your Marketing & Refine Your Digital Presence

Seasonal slow-downs and market shifts can be nerve-wracking for some. Yet, even slight lulls in market activity can provide the ideal opportunity to prepare for the upcoming selling season and ensure your brand, marketing, and digital presence are crisply refreshed and refined. After all, nothing conveys an inability to market oneself more than outdated headshots, tired website photos, and broken links to long-closed neighborhood restaurants. While it can be tempting to enjoy the extra downtime or take the wait-and-see approach, creating an action plan and using the slower seasons to your advantage is a smart marketing strategy. To remain competitive during these times, we’ve composed a list of ways you can refresh your marketing and refine your digital presence.


Enhance Your Marketing With Lifestyle & Team Photography

An excellent way to uplift your marketing and reinforce your brand is with new lifestyle and team photography. When trying to attract potential buyers and sellers online, photos that reflect personality help give viewers context for who you are, evoking a feeling of trust. Lifestyle photos like those recently completed for agents Analise Electra Smith-Hinkley, Laura Taylor, and Mike Murphy of Generation Real Estate are designed to establish a personal connection. Shoots can be booked individually or as a team, in either a gorgeous home or outside amid a high-volume neighborhood, etc. Strategically, personality photos are ideal for use on a website, professional bios, social media profiles, real estate platforms, email marketing, and paid advertising. Our custom packages ensure your photo shoot will be tailored to your unique needs.


Update Your Website To Showcase Neighborhood Expertise

Attract clients and draw awareness toward your in-depth community insight by updating your website with new photography and videography that depicts life in each neighborhood.

Utilize Aerial Photos & Videos To Refresh Brand Materials

For example, lush landscape images and short aerial videos often serve as ideal backgrounds for webpages, blogs, email headers, cover images, posts, and more.
