Captivating Aerial Photography and Videography:

•  Soaring Perspectives: Start your lakeside property marketing journey with captivating aerial photography and videography. Showcase the property's proximity to the lake, the layout of the grounds, and the picturesque surroundings. Aerial shots provide a unique perspective that immediately captures the viewer's attention.

•  Drone Technology: Embrace the power of drone technology to capture sweeping views of the lakeshore property. Highlight the proximity to the water, the layout of the property, and the natural beauty that defines lakeside living. Drone footage adds a dynamic and engaging element to your marketing materials.

                         

Dockside Showings:

•  On-Water Tours: Elevate the traditional property tour by offering on-water showings. Whether it's a pontoon boat, kayak, or paddleboard, providing potential buyers with a guided tour from the water allows them to experience the property's charm and water access firsthand. This immersive approach fosters a deeper connection with the lakeside lifestyle.

•   Sunset Showings: Schedule showings during the golden hour to showcase the property bathed in the warm hues of a lakeside sunset. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows potential buyers to envision the magical moments that lakeside living offers.


Something that I do, is just this. For many people in Minnesota the Summer is short-lived. I understand that when it's "lake season," the cabin-goers will be on the lake nearly every Saturday and Sunday. I like to market dockside showings for lake traffic to pull-up and see properties. I think of it as "let them have their cake and eat it too."

                         

Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences:

•   360-Degree Virtual Tours: Transport potential buyers directly to the lakeshore with 360-degree virtual tours. These immersive experiences enable viewers to explore the property at their own pace, providing a sense of presence and connection. Virtual reality adds a modern touch to your marketing strategy.

•   VR Headsets: Consider providing VR headsets during property showings or open houses. This allows potential buyers to experience the lakeshore property in a fully immersive way, creating a memorable and engaging encounter that transcends traditional marketing methods.

                         

Highlight Waterfront Amenities:

•   Boathouse Retreats: If the lakeside property features a boathouse or dock, emphasize it as a luxurious retreat. Showcase the potential for lakeside entertaining, water activities, and the unparalleled views that come with having direct access to the water.

•   Beachfront Elegance: If the property includes a private beach, emphasize the exclusivity and serenity it offers. Highlight the potential for lakeside picnics, bonfires, and relaxation with the soothing sound of waves in the background.

                         

Storytelling Through Content:

•    Lakeside Living Stories: Craft compelling narratives that convey the essence of lakeside living. Share stories of memorable gatherings, serene mornings by the water, and the unique experiences that come with owning a lakeshore property. Connect with potential buyers on an emotional level through storytelling.

•    Local Attractions: Highlight nearby attractions accessible from the lake. Whether it's a charming lakeside café, a marina with boat rentals, or scenic hiking trails, showcasing the local lifestyle adds value to the lakeside property.

                         

Social Media Campaigns:

•   Instagrammable Moments: Curate Instagrammable moments that showcase the lakeshore property's beauty. Encourage users to share their lakeside dreams by using a property-specific hashtag. Leverage Instagram Stories and Reels to create engaging, shareable content.

•   Facebook Live Events: Host Facebook Live events that feature lakeside property tours, Q&A sessions, and live interactions with potential buyers. Utilize the platform's live video capabilities to create real-time engagement and build excitement around the lakeshore lifestyle.


Conclusion:

Marketing lakeshore property from the lake side requires a strategic blend of visual storytelling, immersive experiences, and modern technologies. By showcasing the lakeside lifestyle through captivating aerial visuals, on-water showings, virtual reality experiences, and compelling narratives, you can create a marketing campaign that resonates with potential buyers on a profound level. Let the lakeside paradise speak for itself, inviting buyers to envision the beauty and serenity of lakeshore living.
