Bollywood celebrities don't just peddle dreams but also dream homes. Real estate developers
are now banking on the star power of the likes of Shah Rukh Khan,
Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai to endorse their projects. Deepika
Padukone is the latest to join these marquee names. Aspire Real Estate,
a Dubai-based developer, has signed up the actress as its brand
ambassador. 'We are targeting India, and Deepika will add to our brand
equity,' said an Aspire spokesperson. The trend of celebrities - from
tinsel town and outside - endorsing real estate projects
started around two years ago. So while big banner draws such as Shah
Rukh, Aishwarya, Bachchan or even sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan and his
sons represent the likes of DLF, Sahara and Omaxe, a host of smaller developers
too have started signing up celebrities to cut across the clutter.
There are many who aver that stars are being signed up more in an
attempt to build brands than to propel sales. A project sells on its
own strength, so basically celebrities are adding to the developer's
brand equity.http://realtydigest.blogspot.com

Problem. Many organizations approach marketing by writing a marketing plan and then putting a lot of energy into producing the projects to fulfill that plan. The results are usually 100% effort being put into a strategy which is only 50% developed.

Solution. Complete the circle. A marketing plan is only as good as a well developed strategy. While your individual campaigns and projects may make up the bulk of your budget, establishing and maintaining an appropriate corporate and brand identity will ensure consistency and effectiveness. And targeting your audience by demographics is only half the process in lead generation. You must also qualify these prospects in order to produce the best ROI. Finally, the often overlooked areas of public relations and customer service, which rely more on effort than on dollars, can quite possibly create the make-it-or-break-it situation.
