Think Beyond CRM, With Sell.Do

In the post-COVID-19 world, a majority of Indian customers have become digitally active and aware. They are making more informed decisions after consuming information online.

• Smartphone usage for online shopping jumped from 54 percent to 66% with easing restrictions.
• Rate of social media consumption went up by almost 75% compared to the week preceding the initial lockdowns.

When it comes to Real Estate, these new-age customers prefer extensive market research before considering seeing a property.

• Even though developers spend a minor chunk of the ad budgets on online media, the Internet influences the purchase decisions of more than half of home buyers.
• Based on a survey conducted, online media influences the decisions for over 43 USD worth of Real Estate transactions in India.

With almost every transaction happening online and every interaction being done digitally, there’s a large pool of consumer data that’s suddenly become available for analysis.

This data carries meaningful insights into how homebuyers think, what appeals to them the most and how they respond to various market offerings. As a developer, you feel obligated to harness this data, create a stronger digital presence for your brand and capture more genuine leads through digital mediums.
