Common mistakes when running whatsapp marketing for real estate developers
- Importing a generic whatsapp marketing playbook without adapting creative + landing pages to real estate developers's buyer language.
- Setting attribution windows shorter than real estate developers's actual buying cycle — categories with longer cycles get systematically under-credited.
- Pricing engagement against the wrong AOV / LTV — real estate developers unit economics dictate what's affordable as agency fee.
- Optimising the wrong KPI for the category — WhatsApp Marketing's default primary KPI is qualified lead → site-visit conversion; for real estate developers that often needs translating into a category-specific metric.
