J. Wright Building Company, a premier custom home builder in Birmingham, Alabama, is a member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program. The builder completes several custom homes throughout the year, many featuring a modern farmhouse design. When we started working with this client, the builder wanted to extend his reach on social media and grow their presence on the platforms in which the company has a profile.
To help J. Wright Building Company expand on social media, we created and executed a tailored marketing strategy with the goal of increasing reach and bringing awareness to potential buyers. To begin, we created a monthly calendar filled with stunning interior and exterior photos to post across several social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest. We utilized engaging copy and hashtags to further expand reach, impressions and results on posts.
In May of 2019, an image of a custom exterior home on Indian Lake in Pelham went viral on Pinterest. We shared several photos of the home, showcasing a variety of different angles.
The top performing Pin continues to generate incredible traffic almost two years later. In the past six months alone, the Pin has resulted in:
- 1,270,457 impressions
- 47,780 Pin clicks
- 9,465 saves
- 4,774 outbound clicks
Additionally, several other photos featuring the same custom home continue to perform well on Pinterest and drive traffic back to the website. The six most popular Pins over the past 180 days all feature photos from the Indian Lake project and collectively resulted in:
- 4,611,967 impressions
