Your brand is your most powerful marketing advantage, and the secret behind your success. Is it by design?

Don’t leave your business performance to chance.

Your brand speaks in everything that you say and do, and your customers form perceptions based upon your brand promises – what they see and hear in the sales centre, while visiting your sites, or talking to your staff. Are you living up to your brand promises for each and every customer and delivering a quality customer experience?

Leverage the word of mouth equity that you can generate through positive customer and employee experiences – in a world where consumers are drowning in, and tuning out, traditional advertising messages.

Customer Survey Programs.Simply put, homebuyers today expect more.

Social media exposes the gaps between your brand offering, and the actual customer experience delivered – your customers have more power than ever before.

Don’t be the only one left out of the conversation.

Take control of your business growth strategy in order to stay competitive, by listening to the people who know you best – your customers, employees and trade partners.

With C.Caswell & Associates’ CustomerInsightTM system, you can fully customize your survey program to better understand buyer behaviour, attitudes and beliefs, trade and employee engagement, and customer satisfaction.

The secret to success … happy employees lead to happy customers. Shift your corporate culture to one where employees feel valued and empowered. When you start with the internal processes, you have better control over the outcome of your customer, and business performance.

Trades are customers too. You have more people working on your sites who are trade partners than you do employees, and you need to retain the best talent available. What are you doing to make sure you are their builder of choice?

Employee and Trade Partner Surveys.

Building your Brand, After the Sale.

Maintaining open, honest and consistent communication with your homeowners is the key to delivering an exceptional customer experience – marketing your brand doesn’t end at the time of sale, you have only just begun the conversation.

1. Homeowner Playbook | The home buying process is incredibly complex and over whelming for most homebuyers. Adding to this frustration is an endless amount of impersonal communication, such as form letters, brochures, handouts, fact sheets and notifications. This informational clutter is hard for the customer to absorb since messaging may not be consistent, and the information may not be provided at the right time, if at all. Take control of your customer communication by presenting each and every homebuyer a comprehensive homeowner playbook at the time of purchase that contains all the information they need in one book.

2. Stay connected to your customers ... for life | HomeProfile® makes it easy and affordable for builders and developers to deliver the same outstanding service, quality, and value to their clients after the home closes that they work so hard to provide during the construction phase.

This translates directly into happier, better informed homeowners while creating a better reputation for the builder.

HomeProfile® also gives homeowners the ability to submit their service or warranty requests online, after which the builder is notified via email and may access the builder’s HomeProfile® account to manage service requests, create work orders, add notes on progress, and archeive service requests for risk management. Reports are available to measure effectiveness and uncover inefficiencies.
