Consistency is the only way. I have a daily schedule that is adhered to religiously regarding blogging and site marketing. Paying someone else to do it, at least initially, is a little risky. Besides who cares more about your business than you.

We are trying to market out site effectively but with as little money out of pocket as possible. It seems consistency is the most important thing.

I agree with the cautious approach. Trimming back on traditional marketing expenses while becoming more creative on the grass roots efforts will pay dividends in the short term.

It must depend on where you are from. A lot of my clients are builders. It seems just as realtors that builders are having to change the way they do things. Builders who are stepping up marketing and sales tactics are still doing fine.

Also, a big thing in my area is a lot of builders are getting certified for Green building which is opening up lots of new markets.

There’s no wonder home builders are doing so poorly. There is overstock and current homes on the market are still overpriced. The only good news is that building material cost have fallen, making it cheaper to now build a home than buy one.

I have some friends in the industry who are complianing now and that how better life was for them before. With the house market though it’s hard to imagine hard days like what we’re facing now.

Yeah, I know some builders that are not doing too well these days. Though I do have to say that many of these guys had it coming to them, they had business plans that were completely unsustainable with the slightest market downturn. The guys that went green early and thought about sustainability are hurting, but they still have work unlike the other guys.

I think it’s safe to say that with all of the existing homes on the market, the new ones offer little to no value. As long as their is 100s of thousands vacant homes scattered across the country I think they will be in the same predicament. Hopefully things will even out in 2010 and new homebuilders can start making money again.
