EXECUTIVE SUMMRY

The realty industry today has changed so much that each sector needs special skills to make

it work efficiently. All over the world, prices are fluctuating. Global agencies monitor

trends in the top influential cities. With many foreign investments in India and NRIs

returning, the Indian property market watch is on the top most of every big agency.

Mumbai is the costliest city to live in Asia. To understand real estate marketing one

should at least have the minimum knowledge required to step into the complex industry.

Out there, plenty of smart operators are looking for suckers. They may not be dishonest

but will technically confuse you to pay higher price and outsmart you. Therefore, if you

know your onions and the deep layers beyond the skins it helps to get the best.  

 

The purchasing power of the new generation of Indians has increased. They are investing

in real estate in a big way- in terms of investment and assets. People have acquired refined

tastes in housing needs and become professional in dealing with builders. Financial

companies and banks have given a boost to real estate marketing as well. To add to this the

government has allowed foreign investors also to test the market conditions here have

helped. Every area of real estate be it industrial, retail space, malls, office complexes,

residential colonies, hospitals, clinics and other healthcare units have a vast potential for

growth. 

As more opportunities grow for people to work they also wish to invest in places close by

to live in. Builders or developers in various regions are now separately marketing each

space. Even home loan companies and banks are independently marketing the properties

they are giving loans. This helps them to guide their dedicated clientele and ensure the

marketing trends remain closely monitored for future development.

They generally have customer relationship executives who are assigned (usually area wise)

to assist customers in making decisions. They do have good knowledge, are professionals

on the job and customers do benefit if they are not very familiar with various technicalities.

Each company has its own marketing device and portfolio to attract

7

Page 8: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Customers. Various tie ups with groups in India and overseas have taken place this year

with increase in FDI. MGF Developments based in New Delhi and Emmar Properties

based in Dubai have joined hands in the first quarter of 2006 for investments within the

country. Nowadays most of real estate focus is on shopping malls and residential

complexes. In some areas down south, the thrust is on IT parks, and corporate offices and

resorts. 

However, on the other side everyone or every other executive does not feel the real estate

sector in India is being well marketed or managed. Yes, there are some gray areas, which

need to be covered up. For instance, foreigners who wish to invest or firms who are

looking at Indian partners are feeling the crunch of bureaucracy and familial ways of

working. This obviously makes it difficult for them to do business. The potential is there

but it needs to be tapped wisely. A proper way is to have real estate marketing with the

right professionals. Everyone wants to cash on the business. 

After one and a half years of gradual consolidation, real estate in India has fathomed its

own comfortable ground, and is poised at the right threshold to take a giant leap in years to

come. While a differential pace of strengthening is evident across sectors, geographies and

segments, several property market indicators point to the fact that the industry has indeed

bottomed out in the current cycle. The fears of a possible double dip recovery have given

way to beliefs in the sustained healthy levels, if not a rapid growth.

The experience thus gained in this slowdown is invaluable and will serve real estate

strategists for years to come. The various stakeholders in the entire supply chain – the

material manufacturers, developers, property consultants, occupiers, investors and policy

makers, have all emerged stronger and primed than yesteryears. And, if we have taken our

lessons right, ‘caution’ and ‘diligence’ would be the keywords for the industry in the

medium term.

On one hand, the stakeholders can’t afford to sway on the riding waves of healthy demand,

and lose the ground advantage that they have so painfully regained by adapting to the

rapidly changing business environment. And on the other, the emerging opportunities

should be targeted with an unmatched fervor of potential and pragmatism.

8

Page 9: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

The year 2011 would usher a new decade of opportunities for Indian real estate, which will

be a test of sorts for its stakeholders between these two fringes of the fulcrum. And the

winners would be the ones who balance caution with diligence evaluating all the potential

opportunities with pragmatism.

Commercial Real Estate

o Office rents to start appreciating after mid-2011

o More outright purchases by occupiers as well as private equity players

o IT/ITES and BFSI would continue to account for 60-70% of office demand

Residential Real Estate

o Launch of premium products to continue, albeit at a slower pace

o Launch of Ultra Low Cost (ULC) Housing by private developers – ‘Housing for

All’

o Large number of launches would continue to be in the range of INR 2,000-3,000

per sq ft at the leapfrogged suburban locations

o Impact on affordability will influence the price and absorption dynamics

o Sustainability to gain focus as the industry looks forward towards IGBC Green

Homes standards

Retail Real Estate

o More collaborative models such as revenue sharing to emerge in the sector

o Rents to remain stable except select prime locations

o Large number of malls slated to become operational

o Retailers would continue to expand beyond Tier I into Tier II and III cities

o More international retailers to venture into India

CHAPTER -3LITRATURE REVIEW

Page 14: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

LITRATURE REVIEW

The real estate market in India has become so huge that to get every thing or anything

specific within one roof is easy and difficult at the same time. With the kind of commercial

and residential property available –on rent/lease/ ownership one has to refer to portals or

good companies dealing in various listings. Generally typical real estate listing would

necessarily include the following heads:

 

Properties Area wise - Separate sections of residential and commercial nature.

 

Within this are included partnership, brokerage, requiring agents, and direct deals with

builders. The property rates of each area are usually determined every two three years

unless in a particular area shoots up due to construction or upcoming prestigious piece of

property (i.e. a five star hotel, IT corporate park, shopping mall or multiplex). In such areas

the rents and buying properties do increase because of job opportunities and close

residential facilities. 

 

Property Valuation

 

Many old properties may not be in very good condition. But they still are valuable. Why?

Mostly because they can be refurbished or rebuilt entirely. This is why they usually fetch a

good price. But one cannot depend only on brokers or agents or property owners to

evaluate the land. Sometimes the owner is greedy and expects a bigger price, sometimes an

agent in between quotes a higher price so that it benefits him, sometimes the buyer may be

just rich and may not have rival bidders or competitors so quotes a fancy pricey according

to his choice. 

But now the industry has attained a level of professionalism and valuers who have correct

knowledge and are impartial are used to assess the property. Even if it has to be handed

over from one brother to another the valuer needs to correctly assess the worth of the

property. Usually a lawyer does the valuation so that a stamp of legality can be given to the

property and no disputes rise thereafter. A known property valuer will charge a good

amount to the job.

14

Page 15: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

 

Property Managers/ Property Brokers/ Property Agents etc

 

Dealing with one person who knows the entire property inside out is important. Usually

when an agent shows the property to a prospective client he knows the property manager

dealing with it. He normally deals on behalf of the owner.

He looks after the property and keeps in good shape till it is sold to the next owner.

 Brokers and agents now all over India have associations. So certified ones and those

registered with the respective associations will definitely not cheat you when you are

buying property.

Even if there are disputes it can be challenged or sorted out through the right channels.

Real estate listings usually give area wise contacts of brokers and agents listed with them.

So even if one does not know one a portal provides the details.

 

Property Consultants and Designers

 

Now consultants are available for giving a better view of the industry in general. They are

aware of the rules, laws and regulations, which affect builders and buyers both. Each

consultant specializes in various kinds of property. 

For example proerty consultant dealing with industrial properties knows what

environmental laws and rules about violating them. He can help the owners to be on the

right side of the law. Some consultants deal exclusively in townships, residential areas and

are aware of the rules that govern them. A good consultant will always be an asset for the

builder he works for.

 

Designers are usually required by architects or by individuals who need homes to be

designed. Some firms employ designers, some of them free lance or some do just

renovation work. Depending on the need they are listed too. They also deal with people

with knowledge of Vastu and Feng Shui-both applications are in vogue with clients. 

 

15

Page 16: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Help in buying or selling property

 

Sometimes an individual may want to sell his business and home and relocate to another

place. Real estate listings allow the person to choose various methods of disposal for the

same. 

 

Home Loans

 

Sometimes one falls short of a required amount or needs nearly 75% of the loan to buy a

house or an office premise. Generally people apply for home loans. There are many

financial institutions, banks, private persons, and organizations, which lend money to fulfill

dreams. It is easy to obtain a loan if all paperwork is complete.  

Today in India private bank HDFC and ICICI Bank and State Bank of India are the largest

lenders to their customers all over the country. They are also giving loans to NRIs to invest

in property in India. 

 

NRI Real estate Services

 

Right from choosing the property, availing loans, evaluating, filling forms online, property

management etc all services can be used. Real estate listings have the entire database for

the same.

 

Some real estate listings are also likely to include details and contacts of leading architects,

builders, news on upcoming projects, engineers, building materials and news and articles

which are likely to affect buying and selling decisions. 

A regular monitor or a property watch is kept for any changes of rates in any zones. Some

also feature overseas properties and help in getting information to get there.  A real estate

listing becomes popular with every new additional thing that will eventually help the client.

Sales Promotion at different Level and different programme

One of the most difficult marketing decisions facing companies is how much to spend on

promotional John Wanamaker, the departmental - store magazine, said, "I know that half of

my advertising is wasted but I don't know which half."

Thus it is not surprising that industries and companies vary considerably in how much they

spend on promotion. Promotional expenditures might amount to 30-50% of sales in case in

cosmetics industry and only 10-20% in the industrial equipment industry. Within a

industry, a low and high spending companies can be found.How do companies decide on

their promotion budget? There are mainly four methods of this

Affordable Method :

Many companies set the promotion budget at what they think the company can afford. One

executive explained this method as follows : "Why, it’s simple. First I go upstairs to the

controller and how much they can afford to give us this year. He says a million and half.

Later, the boss comes to me and asks how much we should spend and I say ‘Oh about a

million and half."

It is a method which is uncertain one and makes long term planning difficult.

17

Page 18: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Percentage of Sales Method:

Many companies set their promotion expenditures at a specified percentage of sales.

Accordingly the sales is set on the basis of sales.

In this a specified sales percentage is decided for the promotional budget Advantages of

this method :

First, its use means that promotional budget vary with what a company can afford.

Second, it encourages the management to think in terms of the relationship among

promotion costs, selling price, and profit per unit,

Third, it encourages the competitive stability to the extent that competing firms spend

approximately the same % of their sales on promotion.

Inspite of the advantages, the % sales method has little to justify it. Its reasoning is circular:

It views sales as the determiner of the promotion rather than as a result. It leads to budget

setting by availability of funds rather than by marketing opportunities.

Competitive Parity Method:

Some companies set their promotional budget to achieve share-of-voice parity with other

competitors. Two arguments are made in support of competitive parity method. One is that

the competitors expenditure represents the collective wisdom of the industry. The other is

that maintaining a competitive parity helps prevent promotional wars.

Neither argument is valid. There are no grounds for believing that competition knows

better what should be spent on promotion.

Objective and Task Method

The objective & task method calls upon marketers to develop their promotion budgets by

defining their specific objectives, determining the task that must be performed to achieve

these objectives, and estimating the cost of performing these tasks.

18

Page 19: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Deciding on the promotion mix:

Companies face the task of distributing the total promotion budget over the five

promotional tools:

• Advertising

• Sales Promotion

• Public Relations and Publicity

• Sales Force

• Direct Marketing.

Whatever method a company adopts for promoting its product it must be from above

mentioned method.

19

Page 20: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Sales Promotion

Promotion is the final element in the marketing mix. After the nature of product is decided,

its price fixed and the methods of distribution decided, the manufactures has to take

effective steps in meeting the consumers in the markets. In the present consumer oriented

markets it is the duty of manufacturers to know what is required by the consumer. It is also

their duty to make the customers know where, when how and at what prices. The products

would be available.

 Meaning of Promotion

The term promotion is the term and includes mainly three type of sales activity :

1. Mass impersonal selling methods (Advertising).

2. Face to face personal selling (Salesman ship).

3. Activities other than personal selling and advertising such as point of purchase display

(P.O.P.) show and exhibitions, demonstrations and other non securing selling efforts. This

form of activity is called ‘Sales Promotion’.

There are two types of promotion blends:-

1. Pull Blend.

2. Push Blend.

Both of these are closely related to the channel of Distribution.

1. A pull blend is one in which mass impersonal, sales efforts are given the greatest

emphasis. The purposes of pull blend to pre-sell to the final consumers. So that they

demand the product at the retail level of distribution. The firm adopting this strategy would

spend more on advertising and sales promotion rather than in personal selling. These

efforts pull down the product from the manufacturer.

20

Page 21: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

2. A push blend emphasizes personal selling. Naturally firms adopting this method develop

a strong sales force at both the distributor and the dealer level. This method would tends to

push the product through the channel of distribution.

Promotion and Selling

The term promotion is very often used as a synonym for selling. But selling is a narrow

term which includes only transfer of title or personal selling. Promotion on the other hand

is broader in its outlook and includes a variety of activities used ultimately for increasing

sales volume.

 

Promotion and Sales Promotion

Similarly the terms sales promotion can not be taken to mean what is commonly does.

Sales promotion, is only a part of the promotion. Basically promotion is an "exercise" in

information persecution and influence. Promotion has come to mean the over all co-

ordination of advertising selling, publicity and public relations. Promotion is a helping

function designed to make all other marketing activities more effective and efficient. But

sales promotion as such helps only the selling activity still, there exit same difference of

opinion on the real connection of the term sales promotion.

 Acc. to A.H.R. Delons :-

"Sales promotion means any step that are taken for the purpose of obtaining or increasing

sales".

 Acc. to W.Q. Kelly Opines :-

"Muddled misused misunderstood that is sales promotion Acc. to him the field of sales

promotion as a marketing activity is still vaguely defined and organized.

21

Page 22: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Sales Promotion and Advertising

There is no universally accepted distribution between these two terms. To same advertising

includes all forms of mass media communication directed towards influencing the end

consumer. Sales promotion on the other hand, includes the form of mass communication

directed towards information and influencing the channel of distribution (e.g. distributors,

retailers etc.). Hence a price of product literature distributed by retailers in sales promotion.

These sales promotion merges on one side in to advertising and on the other in to personal

salesman ship. It is concerned with the dissemination of information to whole salers,

retailers, customers (both actual and potential, and to the salesman).

Sales promotion is concerned with the creation. Application and dissemination of material

and techniques that supplement advertising and personal selling. Sales promotion makes

use of direct mail, catalogues, trade shows, sales contests, premiums, samples, windows

displays and other aids. Its purpose is to increase the desire of salesman, distributors and

dealers to sell a certain brand to make consumers more eager to buy that brand. Personal

selling and advertising do include prospects to make these decisions. Sale promotion

provides an extra stimulus.

Objective of Sales Promotion

1. To increase sales directly by publicity through media which are complementary to press

and poster advertising.

2. To disseminate information through sales man dealers etc. So as to insure the product

getting in to satisfactory use by the ultimate consumer.

3. To attract new consumer.

4. To face the competition effectively.

5. To help salesman in selling more to the retailers and consumers.

22

Page 23: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

6. To check seasonal decline in sales. Generally speaking sales promotion involves

rendering the following services:-

(a) Services to dealers.

(b) Services to own salesman.

(c) Special publicity.

 

Sales Promotional at different levels

1. Sales promotion at Dealers Level :-

It may include various schemes some of which are discussed here.

(i) Advertising Materials:-

The advertising material prepared by the company such as store signs, banners, shelf signs,

board etc. are distributed to sub dealer for display purposes this is in fact a method of

advertising.

(ii) Store Demonstration:-

In the promises of the whole saler or the retailer the products sales personnel will conduct

special demonstration for the companies product. A personal demonstration is good to

introduce a new product at its peculiar advantage can be high lightened and the consumer’s

doubt clear. It can be used to restimulate an old product. A good demonstration with a great

dealer of action will draw heavy crowds in to the store and will attract attention to the

product.

(iii) Special Display and Shows:-

These are in seasonal in character but could be arranged in an elaborate manner and for all

the products of an company. Usually these are arranged along with trade fair and

exhibition. Besides effecting sales these shows impress the company’s name generally on

the public.

23

Page 24: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Sales promotion at consumer’s level

The various schemes of sale promotion at Consumer’s Level may include.

1. Coupons (A Chit of Stated Value):-

These are given directly to the consumer these coupons are in most cases kept inside the

package. The consumers many receive a price reduction of the stated values of the coupon

at the time of purchase. The retailer receives reimbursement for the value of the coupon

form the manufacturer. Coupons act as a short run stimulus to the sale of the product, since

they are directly tied with the purchase of the item. They encourage the retailer to stock the

product.

What is important is that a coupon offer does not spoil the named price of the brand nor

does it un pair the margin of the dealers. But it is not easy to measure the effectiveness of a

coupon offer. One over knows how many customer would have bought the product without

the incentive. It is also difficult to find out how many customers were held after the coupon

offer expired.

2. Price-off-offer (Also known as bargain offer price packs):-

This offer is intended to stimulate the sales during a slump season. In this method the

customer is offered a reduction from the printed price list. It is also used when a substitute

for competing product enters the market.

Many experts on sales promotion fed that ‘Off Schemes’ are among the weaker and less

desirable methods of promotion. These can be trade resentment particularly when the

retailer raises the price to retain his margin. Secondly that is not conductive to building up

brand loyalty. Consumers may simply shift to the products that offer this scheme.

3. Samples:-

In the hope of converting a prospect into a customer a sample (Some quantity of the

product) may be given. This helps the consumer to verify the real quality of the product.

24

Page 25: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Various pair manufacturing companies offer this method. For developing brand loyalty this

method is quite useful. Sampling is a fast method of demand creation because one knows

the result as soon as the consumer has had time to use the sample and buy the brand.

Disadvantage of Sampler:-

Offering sample in quit expensive. There is the cost of producing samples. The distribution

costs are also high. Sample have to be mailed to potential customers or to be distributed

through retail shops. There are also problems when the real product does not resemble the

sample supplied.

4. Money Refund Offer:-

An offer usually stated on the package is that manufacturers will return with in a stated

period part or all of the purchaser’s money if he is not completely satisfied with the

product.

5. Trading Stamps:-

A premium in the form of stamps is given by the sellers to consumers while selling goods.

The number and value of stamp that the buyer receives depends on the values of the

purchase. These stamps are redeemable through premium catalogues at the stamp

redemption centres.

6. Buy-Back Allowance:

This an allowance following a previous trade deal not offer a certain amount of money for

new purchases based on the quantity of purchases on the first trade deal. It extends the life

of a trade deal and helps to prevent part deal sales decline. It greatly strengthens the

buyer’s motivation to co-operate on the first deal.

25

Page 26: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

7. Premium:-

There are various forms of premiums provided by the manufacturer as sales promotional

devices:-

(a) Coupons are supplied for effecting price reductions.

(b) Factory in pack premium these are popular in the case of Body food and Tin food

items, Spoons, Cups, Measuring, Glass etc. and such other items are packed with the

product in the box itself. Factory in pack premium are particularly goods for product meant

for children. The Bianca Toothpaste packs contain animal shape toys. These are very

attractive and qutie popular among the children.

(c) Self Liquidating Premiums :-

The cost of the premium is collected from the buyer himself. But when the buyers pays for

it he has to pay only a considerably low price for the premium. This is possible for the

manufacturer purchases the items in bulk at a premium and his cost per unit as is

substantially low.

 

Other Steps by Manufacturer for Promoting Sales

Dealers can be helps in different ways :-

1. Communicating Market News :-

Often this service is reciprocal the manufacturer may acquaint his dealer with the fact

relating to his production and prices while the dealer may familiarize him in return with the

information bearing on charges in the consumer's demand, their like and dislike complaints

and criticism, substitutes etc.

26

Page 27: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

2. Inviting to Sales Conference and Convention:-

The gestures of regard and respect pave the way for better relation and co-operation.

3. Offering Reasonable Terms of Sale:-

Of all the forms of encouragement, the monetary incentive evokes immediate response.

Hence every producer must offer the most responsible terms of sale such as longer periods

of credit and higher rates of descants.

4. Supplying suitable packages and useful things.

5. By taking the return back.

6. By furnishing them with sales literature and display materials.

Aggressive Selling

Meaning:-

Goods are produced for market. Manufacturers have to make efforts to sell all they

produce. When the manufacturers uses various sales efforts to obtain increased sales

volume for his product it is called aggressive selling or offensive selling. The sales efforts

which a manufacturer makes to retain his customers i.e. to protect his already established

market against against his competitors is termed as defensive selling. In contrast to this

aggressive selling is concerned with the sales efforts made with the express objective of

selling more by expanding the market for the product of the selling firm.

Aggressive Selling and Defensive Selling :-

Aggressive selling is based on the answer to the question how much does the firm gain (in

term of sales with profit) by using this method defensive selling is based on consideration

as to how much the firm will lose if it does not use this method increase of sales can be

obtained from two sources:-

27

Page 28: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

1. New customers if the market is expending.

2. From the competitors i.e. those consumers who were purchasing similar product of

competition firms, if the market for the product is static.

Acc. to H. Whitehead :-

"In case of an expanding market all the firm may stand to gain by following the methods of

aggressive selling but if the market is static manufacturer of a new market will have to be

much more aggressive to capture the established market of competitors".

When Aggressive selling is resorted ?

Usually manufacturer of a new product has to do aggressive selling :-

1. When the product has been improved.

2. When the manufacturer’s product is supervisor in quality to the product of the

established competitor.

3. When the total market for the product or line of product to expanding.

4. If the manufacturer’s share of the market is comparatively small.

5. If the manufacturer has unused production capacity with heavy investment in plant and

Marco-economic Overview

The Indian economy currently stands among the world's fourth largest growing

economy in terms of purchasing power parity and holds the distinction of being a key

contributor to Asia's balance of payment surplus. India's GDP is estimated to be the third

largest in the world by2020. India is also considered the second most attractive country in

theworld for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Forex Reserves (excluding gold and SDRs)

stood at US$157.25 billion at the end of July 2006. India now holds the fifth largest stock

of reserves among the emerging market economies and the sixth largest in the world.

35

Page 36: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

The performance of the country has been consistent and steady over the past three years

with an average annual growth rate of 8%. The growth trend is being led by positive

movements across sectors in agriculture, manufacturing and services.

36

Page 37: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

In recent years, the broad based growth in services sector has been a principle driver of the

GDP growth. Business services (including Information Technology (IT) and IT Enabled

Services), communication services , financial services, hotels and restaurants and

trade(distribution) services are among the fastest growing service sectors. India’s share in

the world market for IT software and services (including BPO) increased from around

1.7% in 2003-04 to 2.3% in 2004-05 and an estimated 2.8% in 2005-06.

The proportion of manufacturing in the GDP has remained stable at around 25%,

however, the growth rate of manufacturing has increased over years, from 2.7% in 2001 to

9.0% in 2006 against the growth rate of 2.3 % and 9.8% in agriculture and services

respectively. Manufacturing Industries like textiles, automobiles, cement, steel, petro

chemicals,

Infrastructure (civil aviation, roads, and ports), electronics ,beverages and tobacco

products have been the prime drivers in India’s Industrial growth.

REAL ESTATE SCENARIO IN INDIA

The size of the Indian real estate market is estimated at USD 12billion and it is currently

growing at rate of about 30% annually. Real estate lending by banks has increased by 3.78

times in the last two years, forming 18% of the total bank credit. Strong and improved

economic growth, proactive policy initiatives like relaxation of FDI in construction and

availability of finance (institutional and retail) has driven the demand for real estate across

all sectors - Commercial, Residential, Retail and Hospitality. Also, there is an increased

focus towards development of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in India.

37

Page 38: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

The last few years have seen Indian market mature through regulatory reforms

(rationalization of stamp duties, reform of urban land ceilings ), improving products in

terms of quality and technology, changing tenant profile (MNCs, and respect for tenancy

laws), and improving management and maintenance models (enhanced product life-cycles

and sustained project / real estate yields). Although the initial real estate boom was

concentrated in places like Bangalore and the National Capital Region of Delhi (including

Gurgaon ), more recently the geographical spread has widened. There has been a

significant shift in real estate market from metros to its suburbs and to tier II and tier III

cities. Lease rentals and occupancies have been picking up steadily and there is an

increasing demand for quality infrastructure across various segments of the real estate

sector.

38

Page 39: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Commercial Real Estate

The demand for new office space in India has grown from an estimated 3.9 million

sq. ft in 1998 to over 16 million sq. ft in 2004-05.70% of the demand for office space in

India is driven by over 7,000Indian IT and ITES firms and 15% by financial service

providers and the pharmaceutical sector. Cumulative demand for office space in India

overthe next two years (2006-08) is estimated to be in excess of 45 million sq. ft. The

Indian IT-ITES Industry, estimated at USD 36.3 billion in 2006has grown at a CAGR of

36% over the last decade and by 2008, is expected to account for over 7% of India’s GDP

and 30% of foreign exchange inflows. In 2005 alone, IT/ITES sector absorbed a total of

approx 30 million sq. ft and is estimated to generate a demand of 150million sq. ft. of space

across major cities by 2010. South Indian cities like Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad

along with NCR (National Capital Region) continue to attract the major share of IT/ITES

and business investment. However, secondary cities, like Pune , Chandigarh, Indore, Kochi

and Kolkata are now emerging as the new preferred destinations for these companies due to

their cost and infrastructure advantage

39

Page 40: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Residential Real Estate

The residential property market in India constitutes almost 75% of the real estate

market in terms of value. Low per capita housing stock, rising disposable income coupled

with easy availability of finance from the housing finance companies and banks are driving

demand in this sector. Also, Average age of housing loan borrowers has decreased to30- 35

years from 40- 45 years a few years ago, indicating a young erbuying threshold. The

housing sector is currently growing at 30-35% per annum. A proportion of demand is also

being driven from investors who view housing as an attractive investment option as

compared to mutual funds and stocks. The demand for housing is geographically wide

spread with townships being built in both the metros and the tier II and III cities. In India,

there is a housing shortage of 19.4 million units out of which 6.7million are in urban areas

alone. This translates into very high opportunities for investors in the residential sector

40

Page 41: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Retail Real Estate

The Retail industry in India continues to be dominated by individuals mall format

stores with floor space of less than 500 sq. ft. Total number of retail outlets is estimated to

be around 12 -15 million, indicating are tail density of 12-14 outlets per 1,000 people,

which is one of the highest in the world. The retail sector in India is currently estimated at

USD 230 billion. The current size of the organized retail activity is USD 7billion, which is

a mere 3% of the total retail market. The retail sector is witnessing a growth of 5-7% per

annum; however the organized retail Is poised to grow at a rate of 25% - 30% per annum

and is expected to be worth over USD 30 billion by the year 2010, thereby increasing the

share of organized retail activity from the current level of 3% to 15% in the coming decade

41

Page 42: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Hospitality Real Estate

Hospitality industry in India is growing at an annual rate of over8%. The number of

foreign tourists’ arrivals (a major driver of hospitality industry) in the country increased to

approx. 4 million in 2005. Over 55%of the total demand for hotels in the country is

generated by for eignlei sure tourists and business travelers (domestic and foreign). A large

proportion of lodging demand in commercial cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi etc.

comes from business travelers.

This category also accounts for the major proportion of demand for five star or five

star deluxe hotels. However, against the total current supply of 96,000 rooms, five star

category accounts for just a quarter of the supply. With the expected growth in demand for

rooms at 18%, another 65,000 – 80,000 hotel rooms will be needed till 2010. This demand

– supply gap is expected to result in high level of activity in construction of hotels. The

established brands in this sector such as Asian Hotels, Indian Hotels, ITC, Le Meridian etc

are in expansion mode with many new players such as Accor Group, Marriot, Choice, I H

G Group keen to establish their footprint

Special Economic Zones

The upcoming realty trend in India after multiplexes and mega housing projects are

the Special Economic Zones (SEZ). Currently, 28SEZs are operational in the country,

including those converted from Export Processing Zones (EPZ) to SEZ. Approx. 189

proposals have already been granted approval since the SEZ Act, 2005 came into

force .These include SEZs in various segments such as multi-product, Information

Technology, Bio-technology, Gems and Jewellery , Textiles and technology intensive

industries. Both developers and corporate have shown tremendous interest in developing

SEZs in the country. Reliance Industries, for instance, is planning a 25,000 acre SEZ in

Gurgaon and is also the main partner in twin SEZs coming up at Navi Mumbai and Maha

Mumbai, with a combined size of 35,000 acres.

The Adani group is also setting up an SEZ at Mundra, covering30,000-35,000

acres, and it proposes to invest Rs 7,300 crore on infrastructure. Other corporate who are in

process of setting up SEZs include TCG Refineries of the Chatterjee Group (SEZ refinery

at Haldiain West Bengal), Suzlon Infrastructure (hi-tech engineering products

42

Page 43: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

and services near Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Udupi in Karnataka and Vadodara in

Gujarat), Hindalco ( aluminum SEZ at Sambalpur in Orissa), Genpact (IT SEZ at

Bhubaneshwar in Orissa, Jaipur in Rajasthan and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh), Vedanta

Alumina ( aluminum SEZ at Orissa). Seeking the permission for SEZs are also a number of

real estate developers, including DLF, Ansals, Omaxe, Parsvnath, Shipra Estate and Sunny

Vista Realtors

FDI in Real Estate

With the opening of the sector for 100% FDI under automatic route, the real estate sector

is estimated to capture about 18-20% of the total FDI coming to India in 2005-06. The FDI

in Real

Estate is expected to have a favorable multiplier effect on the economy. As an indicator, for

every rupee spent on construction, an estimated 75-80% gets added to the GDP. The spill-

over effect of

this initiative can also be witnessed in important sectors like the cement and construction

industries, where the key players are expanding capacity to meet the soaring demand.

With the relaxation of the FDI limit, the country saw an influx of global real estate

developers like Dubai-based Emaar Properties (the largest listed real estate developer in the

world) – which enetered India in a joint venture with Delhi based MGF Developments.

Growth and leverage to higher India growth

The real estate sector is developing rapidly in India. The demand side has robust and

sustainable macro drivers across all segments

Residential :

Accounting for more than 70% of the sector in terms of space, residential segment growth

is driven by urbanization and the migration of households up the income curve. According

to the National Council of Applied Economic Research estimates, the number

43

Page 44: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

of urban house holds earning more than INR 500,000 (about US$12,000) should more than

double to 7.6m in 2006-10.

Commercial :

Rapid growth in IT/ITES services (manpower in the sector has doubled in the past three

years To 1.6m) is the main driver of Grade A commercial office space demand .Jones Lang

LaSalle, a property consultancy, estimates that the absorption of office space in the top

seven cities in India was 31.1m square feet in 2006.

Retail :

According to CRIS INFAC, the penetration of organized retail into the overall market will

increase from 3.5% in 2005 to 8% in 2010, the reby driving the demand for mall space.

Hospitality :

According to CRISIL, the number of 5-star rooms is expected to grow by60% in the next

four years with foreign tourist arrivals growing at 10%CAGR

Structure Of Real Estate

The real estate industry has historically been fragmented and

Opaque, but this is changing:

Penetration of mortgage finance :

Mortgage disbursals grew by 38% in FY2001-06 and have be comean integral part

of the buying process. This has helped reduce the unaccounted “cash component” of

transactions.

Entry of foreign capital :

Regulations governing foreign capital in the sector have been relaxed, motivating

developers to become transparent and improve corporate governance.

44

Page 45: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Change in legislation :

In many states, strict laws like the Urban Land Ceiling Act (which defines ceiling of

land holdings in urban areas) have been repealed or modified.

Consumer preferences :

Consumers are now willing to pay premium prices for better amenities and a good

brand. In response, most of the bigger developer sare scaling up geographically, which

necessitates rigorous systems and processes

MUMBAI REAL ESTATE

Mumbai is no way behind when it comes to a talk on property. The Mumbai real

estate is in its growth orbit and attracts investors from major multinationals in the recent

times. Such is the potential of the city's infrastructure that it is known to be spearheading

most cities as far as property market is concerned. With Mumbai serving as the

entertainment city, even the organized retail sector here is fast flourishing.

Purchasing real estate in Mumbai requires a significant investment, and each piece

of land in the city has unique features, so the property market in Mumbai has evolved into

several different fields.

Having the potential to leverage high returns, a large number of real estate projects

are financed everyday in Mumbai. NRIs can shop for property in the city with the

expectation of attaining an investment good, or with the purpose of utilizing it as a

consumption good, or both.

Mumbai is also the fashion capital of India, so it is one of the foremost cities to be

hit by the retail buzz. With the opening up of the retail market, there has been a growing

demand for retail properties in Mumbai. This has created a viable market for mall space

45

Page 46: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

and other retail stores and showrooms. These retail stores and malls are either owned

by a business group or leased for hefty prices as the demand is high.

The property prices as well as the increase in rental values in Mumbai owe much of its

credit to the large scale investments in the commercial sector. Mumbai has always been

the hot favorite for most of the corporate sector to have their headquarters in the city.

And with increasing investments by MNCs in the IT, ITES and the BPO sector, there

has been a growing demand for office space; which have consequently created an

imbalance in demand and supply for residential properties. The rental values in Mumbai

have also in high corresponding to that in other metros.

Even India’s leading conglomerates have taken up commercial space here. The state

administration has already shifted wholesale commodity markets to Navi Mumbai. So, you

have endorsements from different segments that Navi Mumbai’s commercial real estate is

much sought after,” he says. Suresh Haware, MD, Haware Builders concurs.

“Even at the ‘nano’ end of the commercial real estate spectrum, demand is high,” he

says. It is the small offices and shops’ segment that have witnessed the highest demand at

Haware Builders’ commercial projects in Navi Mumbai, he reveals.

Today, industrial units in Navi Mumbai are relocating to locations in Raigadh

district and commercial is the latest buzzword in Navi Mumbai’s real estate scenario, says

Vijay Gajra of the Gajra Group. “Commercial options in Navi Mumbai span a huge price

band. Growth of the residential segment in Navi Mumbai, prior to that of the commercial

segment, actually works out in favour of the end-user today, as manpower resources are

easily available,” he points out. “Commercial real estate in Navi Mumbai comes at

competitive prices vis-à-vis other options in the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR), with

the added advantage of being located in a well-planned city,” adds Gajra.

IT/ ITeS SEZs and businesses that have anything to do with rail/road transport and

logistics or shipping, are proving to be the next big segment in Navi Mumbai’s commercial

spectrum, shares Mayur Shah, honorary secretary, MCHI. Ramneek Bakshi, principal of

global property consultants, LJ Hooker, points out that MNCs view India within the

parameters of the ‘Brazil, Russia, India, China’ (BRIC) equation.

46

Page 47: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

“When they look at India as a business entity, Mumbai takes prime position. When they

start looking out for space, Navi Mumbai, which forms the third level of real estate pricing,

is attractive for MNCs looking to set up shop in the Mumbai region,” he explains. At the

Norwegian consulate in Mumbai, George Mathew, honorary consul general, concurs, “If

you look at real estate pricing trends in the MMR, Navi Mumbai fits the bill on many

counts. However, the clincher is the price efficiency and developed infrastructure that Navi

Mumbai provides,” he concludes.

Appreciations

The hike in demand as well as supply and appreciation in capital values are

attracting good attention from overseas investors. The Mumbai real estate has become a

reflective of the high growth in Indian property market. There has been an increase in real

estate value across micro markets in Mumbai as well.

Mumbai is looked upon as one of the most organized and transparent property

market in India. With cash components and transactions shooting up in the last two years,

the city has gained much popularity among the investors, both domestic and international.

The investment market has been thriving with excellent returns going high over the past

few years. The real estate boom and an upsurge in development activities in major parts of

Mumbai have led to a rise in investment prospects in commercial and residential sector.

Known locations like Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and Lower Parle have seen

appreciations in commercial spaces falling under the category of Grade A. The occupancy

levels in other preferable locations like Andheri West and Nirman Point also increased in

the current year and are believed to have marked the rise by 90-95%.Another mark

appreciation is in regard to commercial properties in Mumbai, and is prevailing in the city's

micro markets barring a few exceptions.

NRI Real Estate trends

Major property developers in Mumbai, underpinned by the vastness, scope, success

and scale of progress in the city are now transforming developing properties into strong

47

Page 48: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

retail bases. Then of course, the government permitting foreign direct investment

(FDI) up to51% in retail trade has also brought about major moves in retail industry.

The demand for property whether commercial or residential, is very high in Mumbai.

There has been steady demand for consecutive years and has resulted in an increase in the

yield rate. New real estate projects in Mumbai are always in queue to be launched by

private as well as by government. This encouraged overseas investors especially Non

Resident Indians (NRIs) to make significant investments in Mumbai properties.

With an excellent accessibility across the globe, the city of dreams, Mumbai has

emerged as an ultimate destination for most people. As per property surveys, one can sell

any property and get a price which is fairly good. Within the real estate industry, it is

believed that such periods come in cycles and bring an apt time to cash upon.

What makes real estate in Mumbai so exciting are an ongoing demand and the

proposed projects that are to be executed in approaching years. Builders always have

special offers and attractive schemes in store for end consumers. Capital Values of quality

apartments, in well-maintained old buildings and upcoming projects, in South and South

Central Mumbai, have gone through the roof

Agency

Agency is that branch of the real estate business which engages the attention of the

greatest number of persons who are concerned with the business, and in that respect it is of

prime importance. It is divided into two parts, brokerage and management.

A broker is a person who for compensation, usually proportioned to the value of the

subject-matter, brings about transactions between principals. Brokerage has two divisions

according to the kinds of business which usually engage the attention of the broker. The

sales broker is a broker who devotes his time and attention to the bringing about of the sale

or exchange of real property. A loan broker is one who gives his attention to the obtaining

of loans upon the security of real property. One man may practice both branches of the

business, or a specialist may devote himself to either of these branches.

Management, the second branch of agency, is the operation of deriving income and

caring physically for real estate structures. It concerns itself not only with the deriving of

48

Page 49: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

income, but with the keeping down of expenses and the care in making expenditures. It is

popularly known as "Agency."

SELLING & MARKETING DEPARTMENT

The ultimate aim of the Real Estate Marketing is to increase the demand for a

particular type of property and to increase the price so that the seller of the property owns

the highest amount of profit for himself. The Real Estate marketing is needful also to make

the Real Estate project work and make it familiar among the public as much as possible.

Most of the Real Estate sellers keep an amount intact just for their Real-Estate Marketing

and on that basis they choose certain Real Estate Marketing Agents and give them the

responsibility to sell their property off with as much profit as possible. If the seller’s budget

is big enough then he can go for renowned Real Estate Marketing agency and for those

with small budgets the smaller agencies are also available. Most of the big Real Estate

owners who want to sell their properties prefer to go for big marketing agencies as they

have better ways to promote one’s properties and have able agents who can find the right

kind of agents working for them who have better contacts and have better ways to

popularize the real estate property.

A good Real Estate Marketing Agency always puts special emphasis on the right

kind of information that one needs before starting Real estate Marketing and for that the

agency normally conducts some kind of survey to gather the right kind of information.

Later the Real-estate marketing Agency depending on that report develops their ways of

marketing. Nowadays a lot of Real estate marketing is done through the help of the

Internet. One can have various websites that do marketing for different real estate

properties for a certain amount of money. One also needs to make the website precise and

filled with to the point information. The Real estate Internet Marketing is a very simple

process and is cheaper in nature as well. Although one needs to keep the demands and the

reasonable amount of price in mind.

Business cards can either by a waste of paper or an effective bridge between a prospect

and their potential as a long-term client. So, follow-ups of all the business cards that were

dropped in at the site office were done on a daily basis.

Brokers & agents were also approached to get their clients for the deals. Telephone &

Email follow-ups also formed a part of my job. There was face-to-face interaction with the

customers for the sale of shops/offices by convincing them to buy.

Customer Database was also maintained considering various heads like- Date of

purchase, Shop/Office no., Name of the customer, Area of the shop/office in sq.ft., Total

value of Shop/office in Rupees, Total Received(cash/cheque) and Balance amount

ADVANTAGE FOR REAL ESTATE AGENT:

10-Year Tax Holiday

The finance Ministry has announced a 10-year tax holiday for developers of Industrial

parks set up from April 1, 2006 to March 31,2009. According to the Industrial Park

Scheme 2008 notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxed (CBDT), the industrial park

developers will be eligible for 100% tax deduction which is to be provided for

10consecutive assessment years out of 15 years after the commencement of operations of

such units. The developers will be free to choose the 10consecutive years for the purpose

of availing themselves of the tax holiday.

Price Variations in India

There are unbelievable variations in the prices of real estate sector in the past. Which

mainly affect to the sale of business. Mainly there are two causes for the same:

Per Capita Income

GDP at Market Price

55

Page 56: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Per Capita Income

As depicted by fig. 2 per capita income is increasing in India, which has increased the

purchasing power of the people. Due to this over the last year (2006-07) houses prices have

raised by 10-90% and commercial property prices by 10-30% in different area of India.

Correlation .996 is found between PCI and real estate prices. Thus there is a positive

correlation between per capita income and real estate prices.

GDP at Market Price

GDP, the indicator of the national growth, from the past 2-3 years is increasing by 6.5%

to7.5%. Every rupee spend on the construction add to nearly 60% of GDP. As shown by

the figure the GDP has increased from the 2463324 crore to 3529240 crore from 2002-03

to 2005-06, so it indicates that how the spending on the construction sector helps the real-

estate prices to increase.

Clear Title

90% of the lands in India do not have clear title. The ownership is unclear, thereby creating

a scarcity of land. This is due to poor recordkeeping and outdated complaint processes. All

updated records must be computerized to increase transparency in land ownership. And

special fast track courts must be set up to clear all legal land disputes in a short period of

time.

56

Page 57: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Stamp Duty & Registration

The cost of transferring land titles must be reduced from rates of 10%stamp duties to

reasonable levels of 3 to 5%; similar to prevailing rates in developed countries. This will

encourage sellers to pay stamp duties, instead of trying to cheat the government, thus

increasing the revenue for the country. The high duties have also encouraged unaccounted

money being used in most real estate transactions in India. The registration procedure

should also be made transparent and simple so that corruption can be minimized.

Building Codes, Standards & Permissions

There are several building guidelines and standards in various cities and states, however

they are neither followed by the developers nor implemented by the authorities.

Development and Planning

In India development and planning concerned with real estate sector is not up to the mark.

The city or state authorities must use professionals to plan and execute all development

plans for cities and towns, with future development in mind. This must be done without

political compulsions. This will allow proper zoning within cities and towns, green areas

and other infrastructure systems to fall into place as the development plans unfold.

Present Scenario in India

Up to the end of 2007 real estate sector in India was growing at a very high rate. There was

a situation of boom in this sector. The home loans were easily available and RBI was

following very liberal policies regarding the interest rates. But in 2008 the things are

changing due to the high rate of inflation in the Indian economy. There is uncertainty in the

market as share market is showing depression and the RBI is also increasing the Bank rate

leading to the increase in the interest rates. So the buying power is reducing. The major

reasons for this downfall are inflation and the low rate of GDP.

57

Page 58: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Findings

• As the GDP increases the real estate prices also increases because there is a high degree

of positive correlation between the real estateprices and GDP.

• Real estate prices also increases with increase in the per captaincies as there is high

degree of positive correlation between these two also.

• The infrastructure of India is also growing day by day so it adds to the

Better facility to different sectors which affect the real estate prices.

• The FDI into the country affects the real estate FDI and real estate having a positive

correlation leads to the boom in this sector. Increase in FDI from 2006 to march 2007 is

10%. Earlier it was 16% and now in2008 it is 25%.

• The interest rate also affects the real estate prices because it affects the lending and

borrowing by the investors.

• The growth in the real estate sector is between 25-30% in a residential Sector, 10-15% in

commercial sector and agriculture sector.

• Housing sector constitute 80% of real estate in terms of value and 20%

by commercial sector.

• In residential segment, availability of easy home finance and rising purchasing power has

driven the growth. Builders are launching high-end, life style residential products to cater

to the growing bunch of high net worth individuals.

• In 2008 the growth of real estate sector is going down due to high inflation and hike in

home loan rates by the banks following the increase in bank rate and SLR by the RBI

58

Page 59: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

• The outsourcing and IT/ITES industry have contributed to the demand for quality office-

space. The estimated demand from IT/ITES sector alone is expected to be 150mm sq. ft. of

space across the major cities by 2010.

Suggestions

The following recommendations are made this paper-

• Due to high prices the lower income group is not able to purchase the shops, so company

should take kept in mind to protect the lower income group.

• The agriculture land covered into the commercial and residential purpose. But the

population is also increasing day by day. So company should steps for the same.

• The investors should analyze the type of project in which they are

going to invest and the potential returns from it.

• Privatization of Airports and ports needs to be speed up.

• There is a lack of proper data and management of the real estate sector so company

should take the corrective steps in this regard so that the proper estimation and

management of the real estate can be made possible.

• Commonwealth is scheduled for 2010. Hotels, sport stadiums another infrastructure to

have successful games need to be expedited. This is another great opportunity for foreign

developers and investors to step in India. Thus more and more encouragement should be

given to foreign investors.• Stamp duty is extremely high and must be rationalized and

brought down to 2-3% as per global practice, which is now in India varies from 5- 6%.

• Due to lot of investment avenues in real estate in India, fraud cases are

also increasing day by day like in Delhi deconstruction of buildings. Thus

Careful measures and laws should be enacted to deal with these types of situations.

CHAPTER -5CONCLUSIONS

60

Page 61: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

CONCLUSIONS

After studying all the factors of the real estate it can be concluded

that the Real Estate is a very wide concept and it is highly affected by the macro-economic

factors like GDP, FDI, per capital income, Interest rates and employment in the nation. The

most important factor in the case of Real Estate is location which affects the value and

returns from the Real-Estate. India needs a stronger capital market base for property

financing. The debate on the potential introduction of REITs and real-estate funds points in

the right direction. The introduction of REIT s in2007, will give international investors in

particular a familiar investment vehicle. Private investors could also enter into indirect

investment in real-estate. Although interest in new projects is most likely to come primarily

from institutional investors, the rising middle class is likely to seek new instruments aside

from direct property investments in the medium term’s, in the end we can say that the

investment in Real Estate in India is aviary good investment opportunity. But one should

be very careful while taking decision in this direction due to rising inflation and interest

rates. Legal issues should also be kept in mind while choosing a property.

CHAPTER -6IMPLICATION OF THE STUDY

62

Page 63: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

IMPLICATION OF THE STUDY

India has enormous potential in all its property investment categories. Strong

population growth, a large pool of qualified workers, greater integration with the world

economy and increasing domestic and foreign investment are fuelling demand for office,

retail and residential property. Although not discussed in depth in this paper, this demand

growth can also be applied to many special property classes, such as hotels or second

homes. Going forward, it will be a matter of exploiting this potential. For the real estate

industry, three aspects are most particularly important. First, further opening to foreign

investment is desirable. Not only do international investors have the means to finance new

construction projects, but also possess the expertise in market analysis, facility anagement

and building construction. In the medium term these will act as catalysts to bring greater

transparency to the market. Second, India needs a stronger capital market base for property

financing. The debate on the potential introduction of REITs and real estate funds points in

the right direction. The introduction of REITs in 2007 will give international investors in

particular a familiar investment vehicle. Private investors could also enter into indirect

investment in real estate. Although interest in new products is most likely to come

primarily from institutional investors, the rising middle class is likely to seek new

instruments aside from direct property investments in the medium term. Third, the

government needs to step up developing the urban infrastructure. In recognition of this,

63

Page 64: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

India’s finance minister Shri P. Chidambaram presented an extensive urban investment

package during his budget speech for fiscal year 2005/2006: “If our cities are not renewed,

they will die.”40 In December 2005 the Jawaharal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission

estimated that the selected 63 cities will require annual investments of USD 4 bn. Roughly

half of this is for the seven biggest cities. In his latest budget speech on February 28, 2006

the finance minister also announced that the government wishes actively to promote the

establishment of new towns.41 Channelling the process of urbanisation into new

agglomerations is a plausible step, given the growth scenarios for the metro cities. But it

requires additional funding and is likely, at best, to make an impact on real estate markets

in the medium term.

Response Variance Across Sample Characteristics. The sample was tested to see whether

the responses to the practice questions varied significantly relative to a number of control

factors. The factors tested were:  Real estate portfolio size  CRE team size  CRE&FM

operating budget size Professional membership (73% of the sample are industry association

Core Net Global members)  CRE organization structure  Industry sector  Enterprise annual

revenue   Total number of enterprise employees No significant differences across responses were found

based upon these factors. The only difference in means that was greater than 1 (i.e. one point

difference in average response on the 1-7 scale) was the difference between the lowest and highest

industry sectors. Regus Global Report Corporate Real Estate Impact on Enterprise Success

April 2011 Findings: Fundamental CREM management Practices  The study collected

information regarding four fundamental corporate real estate practices: organizational

structure, budget control, CRE reporting and use of suppliers. Responses were limited to

four choices. The responses are informative on their own, and were also compared to

the practices maturity scales to see if any of these fundamental characteristics correlated

with the survey results, as discussed above. There is very little information published

documenting the relative distribution of these practices, and the results shed light on some frequent

debates. Further, one question solicited the opinion of the survey respondent regarding senior management’s

view of CRE .Given the increase in tele work (where employees are allowed to work from

home or another location) and implementation of alternative workplace strategies (AWS),

the survey also enquired into current telework and AWS practices, and asked respondents

to predict future policies and practices regarding alternative work and sustainability at their 64

Page 65: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

company. Fundamental CRE Practices Among the four generic approaches to CRE

organizational structure presented in the survey, a hybrid of functional and geographic

operations was most commonly cited, possibly due to the global scope of many of the

participating companies. The rest evenly balanced between either functional or geographic

driven organizational structures, as shown in Figure 2. None of the participating companies

managed corporate real estate at the business unit level. Figure 3 summarizes the budgetary

control and real estate cost charge-back policies at the companies surveyed. The

most common practice is to budget and manage CRE costs centrally and then recharge all

costs back to business units. There is a fairly even spread across the other three methods.

In the majority of the organizations (78%) the central CRE function has control of the

overall CRE budget and through this

should be able to strongly influence and drive improved practice and policies consistently

across the entire portfolio. Figure 2: Basis for CRE Organization Structure Figure 3:

Budgetary Control and Recharging Practices.  The distribution of where the CRE function

reports into the overall corporate management reporting line is also quite diverse across the

sample, as Figure 4demonstrates. The survey respondents most frequently report to the

Chief Financial Officer, followed by both the Chief Operating Officer and the Technology function.

Corporate Real Estate Impact on Enterprise Success The survey collected information

about the level of activity where suppliers are used. The results are shown in Figure 5.

Given that the survey was targeted at the largest corporate occupiers who would potentially

be best positioned to benefit from integrated services across the globe, it may be surprising

that 38% of the respondents only use suppliers tactically at a local or national/regional

level. At the other end of the spectrum, an equal proportion of respondents engage

suppliers on an “an international level based around a limited number of

principal relationships responsible for integrated solutions across a wide range of functions

and/or countries.” This points to a considerable growth potential for the major international

service providers, as over 60% of those surveyed aren’t currently using integrated solutions

on an international b

Real Estate Impact on Enterprise Success Current and Future Workplace and Sustainability

Practices  The survey found wide variation in formal ‘telework’ or telecommuting policies

(where employees are allowed to work from home or another location). Respondent’s were

asked to select the category that best represented the proportion of the organizations which

‘telework’ applied. The responses, shown in Figure 6, indicate that formal policies

regarding telework are limited to a relatively small percentage of the workforce at half

of the participating companies. However, at the other end of the spectrum, 18%of these

large companies allow over 40% of their workforce to telework.Figure 6: Organization’s

formal telework or telecommuting policyUse of telework tends to foster the use of

alternative workplace strategies (AWS) which were described as a range of flexible workplace

settings provided for an employee’s work in places that are not assigned individually. Figures 7 and 8

CHAPTER -7FINDINGS /RECOMMENDATION

67

Page 68: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

FINDINGS /RECOMMENDATION

Referrals 

It has been estimated that in North America, referrals and word-of-mouth

recommendations generate 85% of new business.

In effect, a referral or recommendation, is third party confirmation that the business,–i.e.

the agent–is competent and trustworthy. The challenge for agents is to increase the number

of people who believe that they are sufficiently competent and trustworthy to recommend

them to other people. This reputation for competence and trustworthiness doesn’t just

happen–it has to be earned.

Advertising 

Advertising properties listed for sale represent implied endorsements of agents’

competence and trustworthiness. After all, the owners of the properties advertised for sale

must have believed the agents to be competent and trustworthy; otherwise they would not

have hired them to help sell their properties.

Open Houses 

Open houses allow real estate agents to showcase their technical expertise and personal

characteristics. By interacting with agents at open houses, prospective clients can assess

individual agents’ competence and trustworthiness and by extension, how the agent can

help them. For prospective clients, it’s like test driving a new car.

Networking 

Networking is the most multi-faceted, versatile and effective marketing tool available to

real estate agents. Among other things, it allows them to exchange information and

showcase their trustworthiness. Above all, it also makes it possible to interact with other

people, who ideally will like and trust an individual agent well enough to do business with,

and refer others to him or her.

68

Page 69: Sales Promotion in Real Estate Marketing

Prospecting 

The best way to develop a client base is by well focused prospecting.

Prospecting is an essential marketing strategy. It generates new leads that can be converted

into clients. It also provides the inflow of new clients. These clients will ultimately become

part of the pipeline by contributing repeat and referral business.

A Benefit For All Agents 

All real estate agents can benefit from applying the best marketing practices of high

producing agents. Specifically, this means that the key marketing strategies of high

producing agents will help you attract clients.
