Great insight if you're in the construction industry!

The U.S. homebuilding sector is currently facing significant challenges due to rising construction material costs, high interest rates, and a declining consumer sentiment. Recent data indicate that single-family homebuilding starts have reached their lowest level in 11 months, with permits at a low not seen since March 2023. Additionally, half of the surveyed respondents reported a slow sales season, with few expecting strong demand.

Homeowners are now more inclined to remodel rather than sell, as 67% prefer to stay put amidst high interest rates and limited inventory, resulting in a significant decline in existing-home sales over the past three years. We can leverage this trend by targeting the home improvement and construction markets, showcasing services that enhance or remodel homes.

Costs for homebuilders have been rising in recent years due to post-COVID inflation for materials, while U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff and immigration policies are adding further costs. The tariffs) may have an additional material impact on the cost structure of homebuilding in the U.S., perh...

Marketing Tip 💡⭐📈
Choose the Right Platform for Your Audience & Goals

Before jumping into any advertising platform, take a step back and ask: Where is my audience actually spending their time—and what do I want them to do?

It’s easy to get caught up in trends—like running social media ads because everyone else is—but if your target audience is older and not regularly on social platforms, those dollars might be better spent elsewhere.

Likewise, some platforms are better suited for brand awareness than storytelling. For example, billboards can grab attention, but they can't deliver a compelling message the way radio can. Radio allows you to connect with your audience consistently and emotionally—something static signage just can’t do.

The takeaway? Don’t just follow the crowd. Choose marketing channels based on where your audience is and what you want them to feel, remember, or do.

Just someone who truly wants to help people get to their "peak" wellness!
