Bella Vista Estates by Griffin Residential

The Inland Empire has rapidly become one of the fastest growing regions in Southern California. As competition increases in key areas, effective marketing is a crucial driver of sales success. Kovach Marketing took on this task for Griffin Residential, launching a grand opening campaign for Bella Vista Estates in Riverside. This collection of single-level and two-story luxury residences is set at the top of the western Riverside hills. The luxury homes and their views possess a breathtaking scope and are certain to appeal to home buyers in Riverside, Corona and Orange County.

Online outreach efforts began well ahead of grand opening, presenting the unifying theme of a European hillside village. Sightlines of a panoramic setting gave the theme its authenticity. Outreach efforts were successful in building a strong interest list. Relationship building emails continued, augmented by print and online advertising in the local newspapers and Riverside and Orange Counties. An early broker outreach program and public relations release further saturated awareness.

This past weekend’s grand opening was hugely successful, bringing a large crowd of qualified buyers from the Inland Empire and points west. Many in the enthusiastic crowd came ready to purchase, vying for the dominant homesites. Ongoing marketing will continue to spread the news of Griffin Residential’s Bella Vista Estates through public relations, online communication and print advertising.

Double Launch for Shea Homes at Baker Ranch

Timing is critical when it comes to bringing new product to market. Kovach Marketing recently assisted Shea Homes with gaining maximum advantage of timing with the pre-spring launch of two new neighborhoods, Crestline and The Courts, at Baker Ranch in Lake Forest, California. The two new communities complement one another. Crestline offers detached homes and The Courts are motor court townhomes. This synergy enabled the marketing to combine their messages into a unifying theme.

The two communities were marketed together in emails, in print advertising and through public relations. This combination technique increased buyer interest in both neighborhoods, capitalizing on the overlapping market segments’ interests.

In addition to the combo campaign, the grand opening of Crestline and The Courts was scheduled to coincide with a large-scale, community wide event at Baker Ranch on February 20th. Touring the two locations became part of the fun of a day that drew thousands to participate in a festival-style event. One of the keys to the strategy for Crestline and The Courts was to capture the preseason enthusiasm of target homebuyers and combine it with an active, upbeat experience of the overall community.

Branding for Architerra Homes of Northern Idaho

Kovach Marketing was tasked with forging the Architerra Homes brand. Putting the customer at the core of all messaging, the Architerra Homes story is one that understands that home building is about relationships with an obligation to add value for the customer in everything they do.

The website design needed to be responsive, but still engage the customer with intelligent and user-friendly design. An earthy color palette speaks to the outdoor lifestyle of Northern Idaho. The feel and photography of the site compliment the new tagline: “Where Life Happens,” evoking a simple home life and the company of loved ones. Its focus goes beyond the home, highlighting features such as parks, hiking trails, elementary schools and more. The clean graphic representation allows the enduring quality, innovation and ethics promised by Architerra Homes to shine, and easy navigation helps visitors learn more about their homes and communities.

“The branding of Architerra Homes was an exciting project for Kovach Marketing,” said Brian Newquist, Vice President of Operations. “We had an opportunity to tell a great story with a new vein for the logo and website that redefined and encompassed the benefits to the customer.”
