The importance of social influence and word of mouth.

People love to share stories, news, and information with those around them. We tell our friends about great vacation destinations, chat with our neighbors about activities and restaurants we enjoy.

Word of mouth is powerful and the primary factor behind 20 percent to 50 percent of all purchasing decisions.

▪️A word-of-mouth conversation by a new customer leads to an almost $200 increase in restaurant sales.

▪️A five-star review on Amazon.com leads to approximately twenty more books sold than a one-star review.

▪️Doctors are more likely to prescribe a new drug if other doctors they know have prescribed it.

▪️People are more likely to quit smoking if their friends quit and get fatter if their friends become obese.

In fact, while traditional advertising is useful, word of mouth from everyday people is at least ten times more effective.

Land development from above

How every community starts.

👉A plot of land that’s independently owned or owned by multiple investors.

👉A few home builders that buy the land and build homes on them.

👉A few real estate agents or sales teams working with the home builders that sell the homes.

👉Home buyers that purchase the homes.

👉Families that move in and whose physical presence shapes the local community.

The way we interact in these communities is dictated by how the neighbourhoods are built and designed.
Are we isolated or are we in close proximity together?
Do we have the ability to walk to shops or do we have to drive to get someplace? The land owners, city councillors and government bodies create and shape how the answers to these questions unfold. That’s a big responsibility.

As the owner a marketing agency for the past four years, I have worked with some of the most influential Canadian families in the home building and design industry.

I know there is a reason and purpose to this, which will be revealed soon.

Being a relatively young woman in this industry is a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that I get to reinvent myself often. As I mature, I have found clients that align more with my values. I’m at a stage now where I am mindful of my work’s impact on the community. Unfortunately, women’s experience’s are not always considered in the industry.

It’s easy to share the grandeur and fun of this industry, but most people don’t see the pros and cons. There are certain insights and information, that are only available through first hand experience, from being in rooms with powerful people. Not everyone has that opportunity.

I plan on sharing insights of what I’ve learned, when and if the time is right ❤️🦅

If you don’t know, now you know.

From watching David Visentin on Love It Or List It as a teenager to working with his family. I am grateful for the experience.

Imagine having a home named after you. Well that’s what some lucky people from London, Ontario get to experience.

The home builds in the Clear Skies community are all named after Vranic Homes Inc. valued community members; the valued trades who make the home builds possible!

Avant-Garde Agency Inc. was proud to have played a role in making these home names possible.

This year’s gingerbread house day was a magical experience
🏠🍪🎄✨

HGTV personalities David and Desta brought their skills to Friday Harbour Resort's Parisienne Bakery to see who could decorate the best gingerbread house.

The experience was a true community collaboration.
From the creators and community builders of Friday Harbour Resort, those that sell the homes in the community (David), those that design the interior spaces (Desta) and community storytellers (Natasha from InnisfilToday).

We had a fantastic group of people attend the experience both in person as well as virtually.

The whole community supported this experience, on social media as well as in the local media.

https://www.innisfiltoday.ca/local-news/video-hgtv-stars-celebrate-gingerbread-house-day-in-innisfil-6240234

If you’re in the Innisfil area for the holidays, I highly recommend a visit Parisienne Bakery for a unique and delectable bakery experience, stylish ambiance and harbour views. Grab your cup of coffee and walk around the world class resort that is Friday Harbour Resort and participate in one of their many amazing holiday events.

Cheers and Happy Holidays
