Steady traffic and slow sales usually get blamed on lead quality. In this case, the traffic was real and the interest was real, but the financial capacity of the people arriving on the site did not line up with the price of the homes for sale. What Lombardo discovered reshaped their approach and led to a remarkable turnaround.
Lombardo Homes, a leading home builder who specializes in building new homes to fit any lifestyle, faced a significant hurdle in one of their key markets. Despite steady website traffic, sales for a specific community were sluggish. The sales team grew increasingly frustrated with the lead quality and slow sales, and the executive team sought answers.
Melissa Cervin, Lombardo’s VP of Marketing, suspected the issue lay in a misalignment between the price point of available homes and the financial profiles of potential buyers. Unfortunately, without concrete data, her theory remained unproven.
Melissa and her team leveraged Audience Town’s real-time audience analytics platform to gain actionable insights into their website traffic. By examining detailed audience demographics that are not available in Google Analytics, Lombardo Homes uncovered a pivotal insight: the financial capacity of the home shoppers visiting the website did not align with the pricing of the available inventory.
With this data in hand, Melissa presented her findings to the leadership team, enabling them to make informed decisions. The conversation shifted from opinions about lead quality to a documented gap between the audience and the inventory.
Lombardo repositioned the community to appeal to a broader audience, focusing on its amenities and destination appeal to attract out-of-town buyers.
Additionally, they adjusted the pricing strategy to better match the market’s affordability, creating a more competitive offering.
