Our MD Rob Honeycombe was a regular columnist in the Property Council's Residential Developer magazine. Here's a copy:
July 2008: "Three steps to take before you drop your prices..."
February 2008: "Salespeople for hire: highly motivated, amazingly persuasive and.... absolutely free!"
January 2008: "The pricing process... and making sure there's a worthwhile margin for you."
October 2007: "Trust starts with your display, suite?! - Choosing how much to spend on a project display or sales office is one of the toughest questions you'll face in your marketing planning."
July 2007: "Save the forests... And your buyers' patience. We see plenty of obstacles being put in buyers' paths - largely unintended, but nonetheless making the sales of your projects slower than they could be."
April 2007: "Wallpaper in cyberspace - Does your project's website pass the relevance test?"
January 2007: "The brand meets your buyers. Much of the development community's focus on marketing is directed to the creation and promotion of project brands. But are we really focussing on the right issues?"
