International advertising is great but don’t forget the United States

By Brian Langhorst

Don't lose sight of domestic opportunities as you pursue international growth.Lately, the keyword in advertising is international! Everyone wants international exposure as foreign currencies are very strong compared to the U.S. dollar. This strength presents great options for investors to come to the United States and purchase real estate. I agree that this is a great target audience, given the current situation.

I also wanted to throw out some facts from Forbes.com, which recently compiled a list of the top billionaires in the world. These facts drew my attention to the importance of continuing to market domestically as well as globally. Of the 1,125 billionaires in the world, 444 or 39.4 percent are citizens of the United States. This is by far the highest number of individuals in one country anywhere in the world. In your marketing campaigns be sure to reach out to both audiences.

There are several print magazines that do a very good job reaching both international and domestic buyers. LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine, Unique Homes and Country Life all work very well. We are happy to help you design ads and market to these key groups. Please contact me with questions or to advertise: blanghorst@LuxuryRealEstate.com.

What are you doing to reach both domestic and international markets?

    It makes sense that when you are selling luxury homes that you need to increase your chances of a sale by attracting an international audience.Most of our luxury homes that we sell are bought by people from out of the country.Global marketing means that you can beat the effects of local and national downturns. Real estate agents and developers who can develop multiple sources of potential buyers will survive in times of trouble.
