Wide Media’s Approach
With over 15 years of experience in the property development sector, WideMedia crafted a comprehensive marketing strategy to position Burberry Heights as both a desirable place to live and a sound investment opportunity. Our multi-channel approach combined traditional and digital marketing tactics to engage with a diverse audience, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned property investors.
1. Identifying Market Strengths and Weaknesses
The first step in developing a marketing strategy for Burberry Heights was a thorough market analysis. We identified several key strengths of the development, including:
Prime Location: Drury and Karaka are forecasted to be among the fastest-growing regions in Auckland, thanks to key infrastructure projects such as the Southern Motorway extension and the proposed Drury East train station.
Smart Home Technology: The integration of smart home technology in each unit offered a unique selling point, catering to tech-savvy buyers who value modern, connected living.
Quality Build and Design: The high-quality finishes, spacious interiors, and flexible bathroom configurations set Burberry Heights apart from other developments in the area.
However, we also identified some weaknesses and challenges:
Limited Market Awareness: While the area’s potential was clear, many buyers and investors were unfamiliar with Drury and Karaka.
Perceived Distance from Auckland’s CBD: Some potential buyers were concerned about the distance to Auckland’s central business district, even though the area was well-connected by public transport and major highways.
2. Market Education & Building Awareness
To address the market awareness challenge, WideMedia focused on educating both potential homeowners and investors about the unique benefits of living and investing in the Drury and Karaka region. This involved showcasing not only the development’s features but also the broader opportunities in the region, including:
Infrastructure Developments: Highlighting key infrastructure projects, including the extension of the Southern Motorway and the development of the Drury East train station, which would drastically improve accessibility to Auckland’s CBD.
Population Growth Forecasts: Using data-driven insights, we illustrated the projected population growth in the region, demonstrating how the area is set to become a thriving hub for families and professionals.
Government Backed Projects: Emphasising the New Zealand government’s support for the region, including planning and investment in essential infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals, and transport.
Through various marketing channels, we aimed to provide potential buyers and investors with a clear picture of the region’s future growth, making the development an even more appealing proposition.
3. Positioning Burberry Heights
A critical element of our marketing strategy was positioning Burberry Heights as both:
A Prime Investment Opportunity: We showcased the development’s high-quality build, smart home technology, and its location in a rapidly growing area as a sound investment with strong long-term capital gains. To emphasise this, we created content focused on the region’s population growth forecasts, infrastructure projects, and government backing.
A Desirable Place to Call Home: Beyond the investment angle, we also promoted Burberry Heights as an attractive lifestyle choice. With spacious homes, modern amenities, and smart home features, the development offered the ideal balance of convenience, comfort, and modern living. We highlighted the local community’s lifestyle offerings, including proximity to parks, schools, and shopping centers.
