bullet...Have High Income and Great Credit...
bullet...Are Looking to Make You Their New Favorite..
 

New Homeowners are Among the Best Prospects.

 

Why? Because they are aggressive spenders with immediate needs for all sorts of goods and services.

 

From lawn care services to pest control; from security systems to insurance; and from doctors to dentists, new homeowners need it all – right after moving in.

 

Homeownership is a great way to qualify prospects since homeownership shows that the occupant is likely creditworthy. And new homeowners have often just sold their previous residence and have the cash in the bank!

 

What better prospect is there? Creditworthy,
cash on hand, and ready to buy!

their ad in The Homesteader...the timing was perfect!"

and the list goes on...

 

Although our readers haven't established their shopping or buying patterns, they still have needs to fulfill...

 

Moreover, once the homebuyer discovers a new-found favorite store, restaurant, or service... that business will have a loyal customer for years because new movers are 5 times more likely to become loyal repeat customers than established homeowners.

 

As a business owner (and customer) you know that once a customer finds a business or service that meets their needs, its hard (if not impossible!) to get them to switch.  But new homeowners haven't established their loyalties yet.

 

The trick is to get their attention while they're still new to the area.  Building their buying habits right after move-in can mean earning a lifelong customer...and lets not forget the power of referrals!

Case Study*: 139 New Customers in Only
7 Months with No Other Advertising...

A Home Décor Store pulled in 139 customers in 7 months with no other advertising attempts to reach new homeowners.

And these 139 are only the paying customers, the ones that actually made a purchase…what about all the others that visited the store but weren't ready to make their first buy?   

Even if each of the 139 new customers had made only the smallest purchase...it generated over a 10-to-1 return on investment.

What’s the return on investment once the customers return for future purchases?

 

 

New Homebuyers Have

High Income and Good Credit

 

New homeowners just passed the most detailed credit check of their lives in order to purchase their new home. 

 

And they'll continue to spend, because the first year after the purchase is the time most major renovations, repairs and decorating projects occur...

 

Many just sold their previous home have have cash on hand to spend on "extras" for their new home. 

 

"Just moved here from Phoenix and it helps me find what I need!"
Lari C, Colorado Springs, Co

 

 

Homebuyers spend over $8000 for goods
and services for their home during the
first 3-months after the purchase...

 

In fact new homebuyers spend more within three months of their move than established residents will spend in 5 years!  And will spend six times more than existing homeowners during their first year.

 

Total spending on alterations and repairs is roughly the same for buyers of "new" homes and buyers of older "existing" homes.  But the specific types  tend to differ...

"New" home buyers spend more on painting, recreational facilities, decks, porches, driveways, walks, fences, and other outdoor improvements

 

While buyers of "existing" homes spend more on repairs, remodeling , and adding or replacing heating equipment and plumbing fixtures.

The only major remodeling-type job non-movers spend more money on than new buyers is roof replacement!

 

 

Case Study*: Over $1 Million in Sales From    Homesteader Readers in Just 16 Months...

During 16 months of running a full page color ad in 4 different editions of The Homesteader, Ferrari Pools, Patios, & Spas
37 % of all new customers were Homesteader Readers!
  

"The results were amazing and totally unexpected," said Dennis Sorbie, Sales Manger. "New homeowners didn't find us easily, or at all, in markets where we didn't advertise in The Homesteader"

In the 3 areas they didn't advertise in The Homesteader...only 8% of their customers were new homeowners verses over 37% in the areas where they did advertise in The Homesteader!

 

 

Up to 35% of Your Customer Base will Disappear within the Next 12 Months!

 

Its a fact that most businesses will lose 20% of their customers every year, some will lose even more. Drycleaners can expect to loss more than 40% of their customers each year.

 

During the next 5 years almost half of the people in America will move. How do you replace lost customers? And how to you replacement with loyal, long term, repeat customers?

 

The most likely candidate is the new homeowner.

 

During the 24 months following a move, 80% will try new products and services from local businesses.  42% will even change their brand of toothpaste!

 

Continually capturing business from new homeowners will more than make up for the customers you lose each year.

 

The Lifetime Value of One New Customer
is Much Higher Than You Think!

 

Most business owners never calculate the total profit on all purchases a long term, repeat customer will make...or even know the life cycle of their customers.

 

The average new homebuyer stays in their home for 8 years while renters only stay for an average of 2. 

 

During the last 3 years since my family's move, we have eaten at our favorite Indian restaurant once a week (sometimes twice a week) at an average cost of $47. 

 

That's a total of $7332 gross revenue ($47 x 52 weeks x 3 years) from one customer!  If we stay for the average 8 years, the restaurant will gross $19,552.  Over $19K over the life of just 1 new loyal customer!*

 

If the restaurant gained 1 new long term customer each month at $47 per visit, the gross revenue is $29,328 per year!  With the average ad in The Homesteader, that's over a 10-to-1 return on investment!*

 

 

 
Case Study*: Pest Control Company Gains
 Over 72 New Customers in 5 Months...

A pest control company advertising in two Northern Colorado editions of The Homesteader decided to pull their ads after only five insertions. 

The reason? Only one of their $99 coupon in the ad had been redeemed.  Something just wasn't right... 

After detailed examination of his new customer list he discovered there were 72 new customers from The Homesteader readers!  (the owner had been tracking his new customers from the coupon response only...but that's another story!)

The owner decided to continue with his Homesteader ads...

How much is one new customer worth to you? 

How much are 72 new customers in five months worth?

First Impressions and Continuity Are Key

Every business wants to make a good first impression.  The Homesteader greets the new homeowner in their first month and remains a part of their monthly reading for up to 2 years - the most important time as far as establishing buying patterns is concerned...

Once the impression is made, continuity becomes the key. A consistent advertising campaign in The Homesteader will ensure you reach new homeowners at all stages of "settling-in"

By maintaining a presence in The Homesteader, you get to the buyer quickly and are still being seen when the time comes for them to make purchasing decisions.

Other new homeowner services give you a one-shot chance...and it could be to early or too late in the decision-making process.  We give a free monthly subscription to homebuyers starting their first month of ownership.
