Animation generally performs better than static images. At this point, that’s hardly news.
And it applies to practically every marketing channel.
But a recent study published in the International Journal of Advertising found something more interesting: not all movement works the same way. Posts featuring a single, clear action performed better than those trying to show several actions at once.
So, how does this translate to real-estate marketing?
Good architectural animation is not about adding more movement and an information overload. It’s rather focusing on showing one thing. For example: what life in the development will feel like.
This is how we supported our long-time clients Nijhuis and Explorius on the Floris project in De Weezen, Zwolle. We built the animation around one simple idea: a day in the life of its residents. Not layouts, materials, and surroundings. That’s the job of other visuals we provided like visualizations, floor plans and 2D drawings.
We simply “followed” everyday moments of future residents. The movement is enough to catch attention, and the simple storyline keeps the animation easy to follow. That’s exactly what the hero section of the sales page needed.
And this is also where having one visual partner makes a difference.
When the same team creates all your visual content, every asset can have its own role. They don’t have to repeat each other but rather complement one another instead. And with that the entire marketing campaign stays consistent.
If you’re looking for a partner to provide a complete visual package for your real-estate marketing, give us a call.
