The Builders Association
of Greater Indianapolis (BAGI) announces that they will host two Parade
of Homes events in 2010! The first event will be held on April
10th & 11th and 17th & 18th.
Builder and
Developer members
are encouraged to enter the event and reach out to consumers while
the tax credits are still available. The Parade of Homes is an
excellent opportunity to pool marketing resources and therefore more
effectively reach your target audience.
The marketing
strategy for Spring event will include:
-
A special
section in the Hendricks County Flyer featuring the homes on the
west side;
-
A special
section in the Johnson County Daily Journal featuring the homes
on the south side;
-
A full page
ad in the North Combo of the Indianapolis Star featuring the
homes on the north side;
-
An ad in the
Hancock County Daily Reporter featuring the homes on the east
side;
-
A full page
ad in the April issue of Indianapolis Monthly Magazine;
-
A
comprehensive interactive event website featuring all the homes
including pictures, entry descriptions and driving directions;
and
-
An aggressive
television advertising campaign on WTHR to run during the event.
Even in
difficult marketing conditions, the Parade events find success. Here
