The Challenge

Las Perlas Villa Condominios faced several hurdles when it came to selling its luxury pre-construction villas in Punta Cana:

Low Conversion Rate: Despite getting thousands of views on property listings, actual inquiries and sales were low.
Inadequate Social Media Performance: Posts on Instagram and Facebook generated likes but not serious buyer engagement.
Expensive Ads with No ROI: Paid ads had limited reach, and there was minimal interaction from high-income buyers.

The Solution

Las Perlas Villa participated in an SMO® (Strategic Marketing Optimization) Workshop, which offered a detailed plan to transform their approach and achieve better results:

Analyzing the Target Audience
Leveraging Social Media for Organic Growth
Optimizing Property Listings and Website
Overcoming Customer Objections
Testing Free and Low-Cost Advertising Options

Step 4: Create Virtual Tours
