Seven Tips for Content Marketing Success

Posted on by

Here are a few easy-to-apply tips for lifting your content marketing and making sure that you don’t reach the common plateau.

All of us have heard and know the value of keeping marketing content “fresh”, but what does “fresh” really mean?  To some “fresh” translates to “active”, and active does not necessarily mean that you are making your touch points count.  When it comes to marketing, and anything really, you don’t want to confuse movement with progress.  Just because you have regular posts on social media or stick to a consistent mailer distribution schedule doesn’t mean that your content is getting noticed.

So, what will keep it fresh?  The answer isn’t simple, and really, fresh content is constantly changing and developing over time.  That being stated, here are few tips for putting a little life back into your content and marketing strategy:

  1. Schedule It – If you don’t have it on the schedule, there is a high probability that it won’t get done. When developing fresh ideas and new content for your marketing strategy, they will only go as far as you schedule them.  Just as with every new construction project, a new section on the website or a revised FaceBook page will only happen if you put it on the calendar.
  2. Be Consistent – Your blog and social media should be consistently posted. While the content should vary, you will want to have updates on a regular basis.  According to a survey conducted by HubSpot, 82% of marketers who blogged more frequently reported at least one customer generated from their blog versus 57% who were only blogging monthly.
  3. Share Content – You should share your content across all social outlets, email blasts and websites. Additionally, you should encourage your staff and affiliates to share content regarding your latest launch, event, or new product line within their social networks.  Anything you share should include links to forward and share the content with others.
  4. Repurpose and Recycle – We are not talking about recycling old flyers here. Rather, repurposing content refers to taking previously published content and giving it a fresh new look.  For example, you may decide to post a follow up story on a previously posted “new” project, or maybe you want to add new information about updated codes or construction stats that were shared in the past.  There are many ways to take old stories and give them new life in a way that resonates with your target audience.  It’s all about the follow up and keeping your visitors and viewers up-to-date on stories and topics of interest.
  5. Involve Influencers – While most of us do not have the budget to hire well-known influencers to generate buzz over our products and services, it takes very little to make reference to influencers within the industry. Whether you link and share their content or quote them, be sure to tag or message them to make them aware of your mention.
  6. Stay on Trend – What is currently buzzing in the industry? What designs and products do your customers and target audience find to be of greatest interest?  Whether you have access to the latest color trend predictions or the designs and floor layouts that are in highest demand, sharing fresh trends is an effective way to bring something new to the table.
  7. Be Dynamic – Dynamic content is site content that is intuitive in that it automatically adapts to pre-defined conditions, such as a site visitor’s actions/input. This type of content will adjust dynamically so that different users see different content that is somewhat tailored to their interest based on their activity. Dynamic content creates a unique user experience. It increases conversion rates, and if done properly can provide a more personalized experience.  This can be done through your webmaster.

A successful marketing strategy is one that evolves over time and is adjusted as you learn more about where and how you are receiving the greatest response from your target audience. While it can feel comfortable to play it safe and stick with the same methods that have proven to be successful in the past, comfortable does not make you grow; as your business grows, so should your reach and content marketing efforts.

Swimming Pool Construction on the Rise in West Florida

Posted on by

A quarterly review of new swimming pool construction permits in Florida through the second quarter of 2018.

FL New Pool Permits by Area thru Q2 – 2017 vs. 2018

The western and northwestern regions of Florida had a healthy dose of new swimming pool construction in the first half of this year. Both regions have reflected an annual growth pattern in pool construction over the last five years, and through Q2 of this year the west and northwest have demonstrated year-over-year increases of 6% and 14% respectively.

Overall, the Sunshine State is slightly behind last year’s swimming pool construction figures.  Since the start of this year (through Q2), Florida has experienced a 3% year-over-year decrease in pool starts.  Every region reviewed, with the exception of the west and northwest, has experienced dips in new swimming pool construction ranging from 2% to 10%.

Across the state, there have been approximately 11,750 new pool permits added to the HBW database through Q2-2018, and while the southwest region has experienced a 10% year-over-year decrease in construction so far, it still holds the highest concentration of pool starts (2,735 permits).

Other areas that carried higher concentrations of new pool permits through Q2 include the southeast and west.  Southeast Florida is slightly below last year’s construction figures having a 2% year-over-year decrease so far and approximately 2,240 pool starts on file for the six-month period.  As previously mentioned, the west portion of Florida is 6% ahead of last year (thru Q2) which resulted in it ranking third highest for total new permits having 2,210 pool starts for the given period.

Not far behind the West, Central Florida ranked #4 for swimming pool construction.  While new pool construction has been on the rise in Central Florida since 2014, the first half of this year reflects a slower market resulting in a 9% year-over-year decrease and 2,110 pool starts through June.

When reviewing and breaking down new pool construction from a county perspective, there were a few counties that made our “ones to watch” list for their annual increase in new construction activity.  The Florida counties that have show marked increases in pool construction in the first half of this year are as follows:

  1. Hillsborough County (West) – Pool construction in Hillsborough has been on the rise for nearly five years and this year is no exception. Through Q2, Hillsborough has experienced a 16% year-over-year increase in swimming pool starts, resulting in more than 780 new permits on file.
  2. Lee County (SW) – Since 2017, pool construction figures have been climbing in Lee County. Through Q2, Lee County has more new pool permits (~1,075 permits) on file than any other Florida County, reflecting a 7% year-over-year increase in new swimming pool construction
  3. Brevard County (Central) – While the total number of permits is lower in Brevard County (455 permits), a fairly new growth pattern is developing – Pool construction has picked up in Brevard over the last couple of years. In 2017, the area experienced a 34% year-over-year increase in pool starts, and through Q2 of this year, Brevard is already reflecting a 26% year-over-year increase, making it our third pick for “ones to watch”.

Texas New Pool Permits by Area Q2 2017 vs. 2018

In the first half of 2018, the Lone Star State appears to be climbing out of its lull in new swimming pool construction.  While the state has experienced a slow decline in pool starts since 2015, Texas has already exhibited a 3% year-over-year increase in new swimming pool construction activity.  From Dallas and Houston to Austin and San Antonio, there have been nearly 4,100 pool starts through Q2-2018, with Dallas having the highest total of new permits for the six-month period.  Here is a closer look at new swimming pool construction and permitting activity by area:

After experiencing a slight dip in swimming pool construction last year, Dallas appears to be pulling head with new pool construction bumping up 3% in the first half of 2018.   In the six-month period, more than 2,100 new swimming pool construction permits have been added to the HBW database.  The Dallas area counties with the highest concentration of new construction include: Tarrant (579 permits, +21%) and Collin (505 permits, -15%).

Houston

New pool construction has been slowly dropping each year in Houston since 2015, and the area appears to be holding the same pattern so far this year.  In the first half of 2018, Houston has experienced a 5% decrease in pool starts, resulting in 1,194 new permits being added to the HBW database.  The larger county of Harris held the majority of all new pool construction activity with 720 permits on file for the six-month period, reflecting a 2% year-over-year increase.

Austin

While Austin sits on the lower end of the spectrum for total pool starts, new pool construction has been picking up in the area over the last year or so.  Since January (through June) of this year, the area has experienced a 16% year-over-year increase in new swimming pool construction, resulting in 455 new permits on file with HBW.  Nearly all of the new permits originated from Travis County (351 permits), which is also on an upswing having experienced close to a 21% year-over-year increase in new pool construction so far this year.

San Antonio

Although the San Antonio area had the fewest total new swimming pool permits in comparison to other major metro areas in the Lone Star State, pool construction is on the rise.  Since the start of this year, San Antonio has experienced a 22% year-over-year increase in new pool construction resulting in nearly 345 new permits.  Most permitting activity originated from Bexar County (276 permits) which is also exhibiting year-over-year growth in swimming pool construction (+27%).

FL New Residential Construction Permits through Q2 – 2017 vs. 2018

Since 2014, new home construction has been on the rise in Florida, and this year is no exception.  Since January (through June), the Sunshine State has experienced a 12% year-over-year increase in housing starts, resulting in nearly 40,600 new permits on file with HBW.  Additionally, Bloomberg News recently ranked Florida second (behind Texas) for population growth, having increased by 410,347 since January 2017.  With housing starts increasing to meet the high demand, we reviewed six major Florida regions (Central, West, Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest) to identify the highest concentration of new residential construction.

The result:  West Florida ranks #1 for total new residential construction permits through Q2-2018, having nearly 8,500 housing starts for the six-month period; this reflects a 6% year-over-year increase for the west region of Florida.

Every region in Florida, with the exception of Central Florida (-1%), is significantly ahead of new home construction figures from 2017.  Year-over-year increases as high as 24% could be found in the northeastern region where there have been close to 7,000 housing starts since the beginning of the year.  Another area experiencing notable growth in new home construction over the last two years is the southeast where there has been a 22% year-over-year increase in housing starts, resulting in approximately 4,800 new residential construction permits on file with HBW.

New residential construction in the southwest region of Florida has been holding a high growth pattern for the past five years, with annual gains as high as 24% (2015).  This year, the area is already reflecting a 13% year-over-year increase in new home construction, resulting in approximately 7,470 housing starts; this growth rate is the highest it has been since 2015, and it continues to be an area to watch.

Finally, the northwestern portion of Florida is also off to a strong start in residential construction this year.  Having experienced a 17% year-over-year increase in housing starts from January through June, there were nearly 5,550 new permits added to the HBW database for the six-month period.

Out of the four major metro areas reviewed, Houston continues to lead the state for total housing starts (16,100+ permits) through the second quarter, and the Dallas area appears to be ranked highest for growth having an 11% year-over-year increase in new residential construction permits.  Every major metro area, with the exception of Austin (5,799 permits, -2%), is already ahead of total permits from the previous year.  While San Antonio has the fewest total permits in comparison to its larger counterparts, it is also experiencing gains this year having 3,520 housing starts through Q2-2018, reflecting a 5% year-over-year increase.

Counties that are demonstrating exemplary growth in new home construction are as follows:

  1. Denton County (Dallas area) – Through the second quarter of this year, residential construction permits in Denton County have experienced a remarkable year-over-year increase of nearly 60%, resulting in approximately 2,250 housing starts.
  2. Montgomery County (Houston area) – Over the last couple of years, Montgomery County has been pulling out of a downward spiral that was apparent in new home construction just a few years ago. In 2017, the area experienced its first increase in housing starts since 2014, closing the year with a 24% year-over-year increase.  This year, new homes continue to boom as there has been more than a 27% year-over-year increase in new permitting activity through Q2-2018, resulting in 3,062 new permits on file.

ATL Top Five Counties for Total Permits thru Q2-2018

When looking at areas for growth patterns, there were a few standout counties…

Hall County has been on an upward climb in residential construction over the past five years, and in the first half of 2018 alone, there has been a 21% year-over-year increase in housing starts, resulting in 615 new residential construction permits in the HBW database.  Cobb County has also been reflecting a growth pattern; since 2016, housing starts have been on the rise in Cobb, and this year, the area has continued this growth pattern having a 29% year-over-year increase resulting in 1,167 new residential construction permits through Q2-2018.  Another county to watch is Forsyth – Forsyth County has seen annual drops in residential construction activity over the last two years, but 2018 appears to be showing a more positive outlook; through Q2, Forsyth is already ahead of last year by 12% and will exceed 2017 if it remains on this trajectory.

Although higher value construction made up less than 3% of total housing starts in Atlanta last year, this year the Atlanta area appears to be on track for exceeding those figures; in the first half of 2018 there have already been close to 400 higher value (>$500k) housing starts, with the second quarter reflecting a notable increase.  The counties with the greatest volume of higher value residential construction permits are Fulton, Cobb and Cherokee.
