Market Proof Marketing · Ep 142: Builders Choosing Intentionally NOT To Sell Homes

Kevin Oakley, Andrew Peek, and Jackie Lipinski are back this week to talk about the big picture of why new home sales in some areas seem to be down year-over-year (spoiler alert…it’s not just the weather, it’s also the lack of inventory). They discuss Kevin’s first builder visit in over a year, the actual value behind going viral on TikTok, and the current ad spend reduction numbers seen across the board.

Story Time (7:37)

Jackie Lipinski has to learn a website’s custom deck railing computer program to get an accurate quote.

Andrew Peek gets excited as more builders continue to reach out for guidance on how to start their very own podcasts.

Kevin Oakley reviews the current social ad and paid search spend reductions he’s seeing and talks about the impact on organic traffic. Kevin also talks about the sales and lead metrics of one builder going viral on TikTok and how even 3+ million views can still equal 0 sales.

Question of the Week (41:27)

Some things are just better in-person. We’re planning a new mastermind brainstorming session at the end of the year, what valuable in-person topics would you want to cover? (Aka what things do you want to talk about that a webinar just can’t tackle)
