Top 5 New Home Improvement Marketing Trends

Top 5 New Home Improvement Marketing Trends

Advertising practices always keep on changing and what is new today will become stale tomorrow. Hence rethinking marketing and advertising strategies is a must and it applies to home improvement businesses also. It is therefore not surprising to see national and local contractors, small hardware outlets, small designers and even big corporations moving out of their normal marketing methods and practices. All of them are ready to try out new and innovative ways of advertising. Here is a look at five of the most popular trends as far as home improvement marketing is concerned.

Based on survey done on home buying by Zillow there are reasons to believe that 39% of businesspersons start their projects online. Contractors are moving into this zone of captive audience and they are making their presence felt in home improvement friendly social media outlets. It could be simple things like a decorator making his presence in Pinterest or being present on IKEA, Instagram and also informally and casually answering questions on their Facebook page.

It could range from showcasing of open floor plans or offering discounts as far as chalkboard paint is concerned. It also could be about offering new marble colors in a trade show and much more. Hence at the end of the day marketing is all about setting trends rather than being the followers.

 

  1. Partnering Up

 

With B2B partnerships becoming stronger than ever before local advertising is also becoming very important. It could be simple things like word of mouth advertising and could be about giving a referral for another contractor. When you have a website some other form of advertising which talks about partnerships it not only tells customers about knowledge of the local industry. It also is a way by which these businesses will return the favor by sharing your name thereby saving money and giving you the required mileage.

 

  1. Blogging

 

According to some studies every month around 330 million people will certainly go through at least one blog post. Those who blog at least 15 times a month are likely to receive five times more traffic in their website compared to those who do not blog. Hence, as far as home improvement business is concerned, blogging is something which always must be kept in mind. Blogging could help in SEO by optimizing keywords. It will also attract readers and visitors who are looking for information that could be futuristic in nature.

 

  1. Importance Of Mobile Marketing

 

Mobile marketing is also catching up fast as far as home improvement businesses are concerned. There are many who are ready to offer six second home improvement videos to mobile phone and other customers who use hand-held devices. This helps them to reach more number of customers and also at a time and location of their convenience. With 66% of Americans owning smart phones, the number of people looking for real estate using mobile phones could be as high as 45%.

Most Coveted Celebrity Body Parts

Most Coveted Celebrity Body Parts

 

According to statistics, 17.1 million cosmetic procedures were performed back in 2016. From breast augmentation, through liposuction, nose reshaping and eyelid surgery, to facelifts and tummy tucks, people are turning to plastic surgery more often every year, when they don’t feel happy with their body. However, they don’t just look for a random nose reshaping or breast augmentation, but for specific body parts of actors, singers, or starlets. From Matthew McConaughey’s abs to Madonna’s cheekbones, people hope to look like their favourite celebrity more and more each day.

Nose

The nose is one of the most prominent facial features, and it makes a lot of difference to a person’s looks. A big nose isn’t flattering, while a small one can make some other features of face anatomy more noticeable and put the entire face in disproportion. On the other hand, the size doesn’t have to be an issue every time. Aside from being too big or too small, someone might have a crooked nose, and surgery can be the only way to make it straight and proportional. Natalie Portman, Emma Stone and Nicole Kidman are just some of the celebrities whose noses seem to be the most wanted among the patients, because they’re perfectly proportional.

Lips

The facial anatomy can appear entirely different with thin lips than it can with a full pout. Thin lips give out an impression of a less sexy appearance, which happens to be the main reason for people all over the world to undergo a lip injection procedure. Angelina Jolie’s lips are definitely the most wanted among patients, since they are perfectly full and balanced with the plump bottom lip and a slightly thinner upper lip, that shape the flawless pout.

Buttocks

Many women yearn for a nicely rounded and well-shaped backside, since most of them didn’t have the luck to be born with one. While some of them have tried working out and didn’t reach their goal, others skipped that step and turned immediately to a professional to request a procedure that will give them the perfectly shaped buttocks. Beyoncé’s gluteus has been the synonym for a well-shaped bootie, and lately, Kim Kardashian’s has been a real competition, with more women wanting precisely the backside of this controversial starlet.

Abs

Nicely shaped abs are one of the most attractive features of the human anatomy. This is especially true for men, who are eager to show off a good-looking six-pack. Matthew McConaughey’s and Channing Tatum’s abs are the most wanted among men, according to plastic surgeons. Thanks to a non-invasive body sculpting procedure, the patients can quickly reach their goal. After the fat cells are frozen and eliminated with the cooling procedure, they’re forever gone from their tummy, offering a perfect figure, that will need only a little bit of exercise to look as good as Matthew’s or Channing’s.

Cheekbones

Years certainly can’t do a thing to this megastar, because as the time goes by, people don’t cease to strive for having exactly the same cheekbones as Madonna. They’re perfectly high, which can make a person look regal, while they add a dose of youthfulness as well.

From cheekbones, through abs and buttocks, to a symmetrical nose and perfect lips, people try to look more like celebrities every day, by wanting some of their body features. However, sometimes, it takes more than just a visit to the plastic surgeon to reach the goal. Remember that recoveries from some surgeries take a lot of time, so make sure you always consult with the doctor before you decide to go under the knife.
