How can Native Advertising Boost the Brand Awareness and Sales of your Real Estate Projects?

One of the most successful businesses in the world of construction is the Real Estate industry. This industry covers many aspects of property, including developing, leasing, appraisal, marketing, and management of commercial, residential, agricultural, and industrial properties. Like any other industry, it fluctuates depending on the economy; still, amid all the uncertainty of the past year, it has remained consistent since people are constantly in need of homes, businesses, and commercial spaces.

Real Estate has long been a core economic sector and investment choice in the MENA. Realizing its importance in shaping economies, acting as a catalyst for growth, and diversifying the economy, many governments champion real estate development projects and establish ambitious mega-cities and urban developments.

MENA countries have established many major real estate projects in many of their capital cities, including Riyadh, Dubai, and Cairo; there is a growing pressure owing to an increase in supply. Cost-conscious residents have a wide range of projects to choose from, forcing developers to increase incentives and exert more efforts to secure customers.

Decades ago, newspaper ads, television ads, and billboards would have been the dominant marketing channels to promote a company’s real estate project; now, companies have to look for other media channels as customers spend more and more time online. Faced with the challenge of raising brand awareness, driving interest in their properties, generating more qualified leads, and increasing sales, real estate companies have looked towards digital and native advertising to reach potential customers.
