Anyone can spend money. It takes a good manager to spend it at a predetermined rate in line with a planned 'cash flow.' So this topic is very important. People think Development Marketing is all about putting an advert in the paper, designing a brochure and following up the agents ... I don't think so folks!! Marketing starts before you buy the land. The location of the land impacts on marketing. Is it a desirable address? Is it in a prestigue location? What market sector of the buying public are you aiming for?
