Jocelyn Smith, CEO and Founding Partner of infinitee Communications, Inc., shatters the status quo of when to start marketing a new development. Learn how branding your property early and branding it right gets you leasing results while also building customer loyalty, ultimately effecting that all-important return on your investment.
From investors to developers and everyone in between, this message is for you. Being 100% leased by grand opening is half the battle. The moment you break ground, the chatter starts. The right messaging mix, the right platforms, the right leverage and the right positioning is key to capitalizing on that anticipation and controlling the conversation.
