Increase Occupancy Rate

Local: Employ “Demand Shaping”Localized Search Techniques

What Is Demand Shaping?Paid Search Campaigns are Geographically Micro-Targeted to the Zip Code Level to Provide Demand Generation to the Communities that Need it Most. We Systematically “Shape Demand” to Meet ICAC Occupancy Objectives

How Does It Work? Build Community-Specific Ads with Landingpages and Served Within a 10 Mile Radius of the Community. Constantly Monitor and Adjust Ad Spend Until Goal of 95.5% Occupied is Achieved – then, Move To Next of Community.

How is It Funded?Utilize Existing Budgets, however, carve-out portions for Demand Shaping based on current geo-targeting.

Dovetails into Current Geo Strategy:
