In the realm of real estate, captivating potential buyers or renters at the very first glance is crucial. This principle was fully embraced in a project I recently executed for BNP Paribas Real Estate - the promotion of One Dean Street, a state-of-the-art building located in one of the most trendy parts of London, Soho.
High-quality photographs have long been a staple of real estate marketing, beautifully capturing the static features of properties. For One Dean Street, the brochure, designed by Sutton Young, was fully composed with my photographs, which provided striking visuals of the property's unique features and architectural brilliance. You can check the brochure by clicking on the button below.
However, for this project, we took the marketing strategy a step further by integrating dynamic video content, adding a new dimension to the property showcase. A well-produced video offers a virtual walkthrough that creates a fluid sense of space, layout, and scale that static images alone may not convey fully. The promotional video for One Dean Street did just that, bringing the property to life and making prospective buyers feel as if they are right there, exploring their potential new office space.
The powerful combination of photos and videos not only offers a more holistic view of the property but also enhances their individual strengths. While photographs grab immediate attention with striking visuals, videos sustain that interest, providing an immersive experience that static images alone cannot.
Moreover, the storytelling power of videos perfectly complements the snapshots provided by photographs. By using videos, real estate agents can highlight the lifestyle and unique features of the property, creating an emotional connection that often leads to quicker decisions and higher satisfaction rates.
The shareability of photos and videos across various digital platforms also enhances your property's visibility, leading to a wider reach and increasing chances of quicker transactions. This combination also improves your agency's digital footprint and SEO performance, setting you apart from competitors who rely on traditional methods.
Investing in this powerful blend of photos and videos may indeed require a higher upfront cost compared to relying on photos alone, but the potential returns are well worth it. More engagements, quicker sales, higher prices, and heightened client satisfaction all contribute to a rewarding return on investment. As demonstrated by the successful promotion of One Dean Street, blending high-quality photographs and engaging videos can truly revolutionize your real estate marketing strategy.
It is amazing how some aerial photographs can literally change the way how you can show a property, the land, the plot, the location, the position, everything becomes visually much easier to understand, specially for the buyer/investor. A lot of people still don’t see the potential of this kind of photos, which has become way more affordable with the evolution of the drones. In the past, for any kind of aerial photography it was necessary to rent an helicopter, which cost quite a lot of money, making the shoot too costly for most of the projects budget, now, using a drone (if the location air space suits), the cost for a decent session of aerial photographs had dropped considerably. This property below. which I shoot couple of months ago is a very good example of how amazing some aerial photographs made with a professional drone can be.
