"Using engagement, you get a more holistic appreciation of your customers' actions, recognizing that value comes not just from transactions but also from actions people take to influence others. Once engagement takes hold of marketing, marketing messages will become conversations, and dollars will shift from media buying to customer understanding."

Marketing’s New Key Metric: Engagement Report by Brian Haven


INTERACTIVE CHAT

An online chat gives your clients instant access anywhere and provides excellent tracking information. Marketing Sherpa published a report in 2008 that summarized the typical response time to a prospect that completes a website form. 6.8% were 30 minutes or less, 10.9% an hour or less, 44.1% within 24 hours, 19.6% over 24 hours and 18.6% did not follow up consistently. The report also concludes that calls placed within five minutes of a web lead had the greatest opportunity of making contact. Those odds dropped 10 times within 30 minutes and 10 times again in an hour. Waiting up to 20 hours greatly damages the possibility of connecting with, much less closing the lead.

Spherexx.com released a study late in 2008 based on a secret online shop of over 100 apartment properties that revealed the average response time to an Internet lead was over 12 hours.

CASE STUDY

57.6% of leases originate from the Internet, as shown a detailed study conducted by Spherexx.com in September 2008 on over 100 apartment properties.

Of the leases originating from the Internet, only 14.3% of Internet prospects received a phone call, 32.4% received an email response and 55.2% were totally ignored. Average response time for telephone calls was 12.1 working hours; average response time for Internet lead response was 12.6 working hours.

CASE STUDY

The Connectivity Factor

With 200 million Internet users in the US, and 84% of renters searching the Internet for housing, the current industry practice of disregarding 43% of online traffic is no longer an option. Today's apartment dwellers expect and demand swift, informative digital communication and they will lease with those who provide it.
