Why Presentation Matters
Think about your own shopping experiences; you’re drawn to the well-lit shop with neatly arranged items, right? The same principle applies to industrial spaces. A clean, well-organized environment speaks volumes about your professionalism and attention to detail. So, consider investing in good lighting and maybe even some fresh paint. Real estate brokers take note: we’ve seen warehouses sell within a week just by amping up their aesthetic and functional design.
The Rise of Virtual Tours
Virtual tours aren’t just nice-to-have; they're becoming the industry standard. You can take advantage of 3D walkthrough technology to offer potential clients a fully immersive experience. Manufacturing companies have reported as much as a 60% increase in engagement on their listings with the addition of virtual tours. With services like Epic Drone Tours, you can easily add this powerful tool to your marketing arsenal.
Social Media: An Unexpected Goldmine
Who says industrial spaces can’t be Instagrammable? Document the day-to-day happenings in your facility or showcase a recently completed project. One storage unit company posted a behind-the-scenes look at their top-notch security systems and were inundated with inquiries. The takeaway? Don’t underestimate the power of a well-crafted tweet or LinkedIn post to engage your network and beyond. Organic social media content is how to do marketing TODAY.
The Role of Professional Photography
Photos can make or break your online listings. They provide the first impression and set the stage for what potential clients or partners expect to see. If you're a commercial real estate broker, imagine having a portfolio that paints each industrial property in the best light possible—literally. Good lighting, the right angles, and a touch of post-production can make all the difference. Quality photos aren't just eye candy; they're a powerful sales tool that works 24/7. Having quality photos is the minimum for property marketing.
Storytelling: Your Secret Weapon
Storytelling is a potent tool in creating an emotional connection. Telling the story of how your manufacturing plant evolved, or how your warehouse is contributing to the local economy can be a great way to craft that connection with your intended audience. Craft narratives around your spaces and feature them in your marketing materials. Video is a great way to tell these narratives, and it's becoming more and more popular. 92% of real estate marketers plan to use video in their marketing plans this year (per source). Well-crafted narrative social media content or even a blog post can add a layer of relatability that facts and figures alone can’t provide (as helpful as they are to the marketing).
Location as a Selling Point
Location, location, location. Are you close to a major highway, or perhaps a bustling port? This could significantly up your property’s value and make it more attractive to clients concerned with logistics. Use this as a focal point in your marketing narrative. A well-placed warehouse can justify higher rates, attracting a clientele that appreciates the logistical advantages you offer. Find the best value-adds around the location of your property and make sure to document why the surrounding areas make the property a valuable one.
Epic Drone Tours: Elevating Your Visual Narrative
Drones can capture what traditional photography cannot: the scale and complexity of your industrial space. A bird’s eye view can dramatically present the property, offering a holistic understanding of its potential. Epic Drone Tours specializes in making your space look truly epic. With us, you won't just capture footage; you'll capture imaginations. Our work takes you from one end of the property to the next seamlessly, telling the proper story that your property has to tell. We often integrate staff and processes into the tour to capture the true essence and narrative of the space. As per studies, "81% of consumers say they appreciate real estate video with drone footage included."
The Power of Staging
While staging is often associated with residential properties, it can also transform an empty industrial space into a world of possibilities. Light it well. Place some props—like machinery or equipment—to give an idea of scale and utility. It could even be as simple as setting up a small office space to show how administrative functions could be integrated.
Open Houses: An Underutilized Strategy
Online tools are excellent, but the tactile experience of a well-organized open house can seal the deal. It provides an opportunity for clients to experience the space firsthand, to visualize their operations within its walls, and to negotiate in real-time. An open house not only invites potential clients but also creates a sense of urgency and competition, often leading to quicker and more lucrative deals.
In Closing
Selling or leasing an industrial space is not just about “what you see is what you get.” It’s about shaping perception, creating an emotional connection, and highlighting untapped potential. From virtual tours and social media strategies to the often-overlooked power of storytelling and staging, every tool in your arsenal should be optimized for maximum impact.
