“April Longest had a lot of reasons to move from an apartment in Hampden to a house of her own: low interest rates, a first-time-buyer credit and a monthly payment not much higher than her rent. But one of the biggest motivators of all for buying a semi-detached rancher in Medfield last month came from her competition - other buyers.”
“Stephanie Yungman, a real estate agent with Zip Realty, said business began picking up in mid-March. She said buyers appear to be more motivated than they have been in months, and it’s become more common for the more aggressively priced homes to get multiple offers. ‘There were even a couple of times I was saying I feel like we’re in the boom again,’ Yungman said.”

NDG Communications proudly announces the new website and multi-channel launch campaign for Argent Condominiums, a multi-story condominium project in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.
In addition to the launch campaign, and even with a critically urgent schedule, NDG developed a pre-launch teaser campaign that used strategically placed print to create curiosity and lead consumers to a clever landing page that captured qualified preview registrants weeks before the website or building was ready to receive visitors.
“NDG worked very hard to craft a very compelling multi-channel campaign for Argent,” said NDG President Tom Nelson, “one that fully leverages new media to make meaningful connections with qualified prospects.”

Over at his blog, Seth points out that “TV advertisers are finally discovering that YouTube + viral imagination = free media.” And while the cost of providing and “broadcasting” content is now phenomenally lower, “the rules are different, as they always are online.” For starters, you’re going to have more companies to compete with. And, once you set your idea free into the digital world, you lose control over it. The biggest change? The guys with the best ideas will win; not necessarily the guys with the most money.
