1000 Reasons Marketing Submission (1)

Page 1

12 Concannon Road, Echunga.


Thank you, Julie. Thank you for inviting us to present a marketing submission for your property. On behalf of Harcourts Adelaide Hills and in collaboration with Venture Commercial, we offer our recommendations along with detailed marketing information to cover local, national and global exposure from our offices located in Stirling & Mount Barker. Drawing on years of experience, we have developed a tailored campaign designed to maximise enquiry and buyer interest. Together with the strength and reach of the Harcourts network and Venture Commercial, this will position your property for a successful outcome. We have also included further information outlining our comprehensive marketing approach and the key points of difference we bring to your campaign. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, we can personally assure you of our strongest endeavours to achieve the best possible result on your behalf. Your property will be exclusively handled by ourselves ensuring we are available to be contacted at any given time. We understand that a property of this calibre requires more than a standard campaign. Our strategy has been carefully designed to capture what makes it truly remarkable, position it in front of the right buyers and create meaningful interest locally, nationally and internationally.


Property Highlights Established Hospitality Operation. A functioning Class 10 commercial restaurant (converted from the original 1992 dwelling) with a complete commercial kitchen and cool room, a liquor license for 100 guests and 10 staff, and a commercial 10kg coffee roaster.

Approved Residential Dwelling. DA and BA approval already in place to construct a residential dwelling on-site. This is a significant feature, as it gives a buyer or operator the ability to live on-site (or house staff/caretakers) without going through the approvals process themselves.

Approved Glamping Expansion / Wellness Avenue. Separate DA and BA approval for 3 glamping domes, with decking, power, water and sewerage already installed and ready to go, offering a clear path to add an accommodation revenue stream alongside the dwelling.

Scale and self-sufficient infrastructure. 32 acres (12.6 Ha) with two bores, five water tanks, a new water treatment and filtration system, 3-phase power, solar, and extensive parking/access (850sqm driveways plus room for 35 more cars across 3 street-access points), the kind of substantial groundwork that would be costly and slow for a buyer to replicate.


Our Reach Combined with Harcourts’ global network spanning 11 countries, we ensure your property stands out in a way that feels authentic, engaging and emotionally driven through strategic storytelling, impactful campaigns and imagery that truly resonates with buyers. Our Point of Difference: Harcourts Reach is your AI-based digital advertising platform that gets your property in front of buyers designed to create mass awareness, drive interest and generate competition.​ Using your property photography, over 100 versions of your ad will appear across Facebook, Instagram and Google network.

Buyer Sentiment The Adelaide Hills market is still strong and there are still a good pool of buyers around, however these buyers typically have considerably less to spend than they did two years ago. Buyer sentiment has shifted from the 23/24 peak, sentiment is firm but more discerning. Buyers in the Adelaide Hills are looking for homes that they don’t have to do too much work to and are virtually ready for them to purchase and enjoy. High price sensitivity, if a property is advertised at the figure that it is expected to sell it, buyers will assume it is going to sell for more and are less likely to interact with a property that they perceive to be overpriced. Hence, the advertising figure needs to be used as a marketing tool. Buyers are more educated than they have been previously on the property market, our marketing strategy creates a value proposition for buyers, yet when we speak to them, they are often very accurate in their expectation of the true value.


Methods Of Sale The value of a property is always hard to assess. The final sale price can fluctuate greatly dependent on the current market trends and the level of motivation of buyers generated during the sale process.

Different Methods of Sale Private Treaty Best Offers By Expression of Interest Auction

Our recommendation for your property is to use an Expressions of Interest campaign, with an advertised figure.


How we plan on telling your story Our approach begins with telling your property’s story. With the labour of love that you, and others have poured into it - we will bring that story to life through considered copywriting, curated content, premium photography, videography and strategic media placement. Every element will work together to capture the lifestyle it offers, potential it provides and unmistakable sense of place. By positioning the campaign in front of relevant buyers and carefully selected media outlets, we aim to build momentum from the outset and extend the property’s reach.


Videography Professional Luxury Video: A professional video brings a property to life in a way photography alone cannot, allowing buyers to experience the flow, atmosphere and lifestyle of the home before they even step inside. Realestate.com.au data shows 1 in 3 buyers value video content when searching for a home, as it helps them better envision how they would live in the space. Video content also performs exceptionally well across social media and digital platforms, helping reach a wider audience, increase engagement and create a stronger emotional connection throughout the campaign.

Photography Professional photography is one of the most important parts of your campaign, creating the first impression buyers see online.

We recommend a combination of two photographers, to capture the calibre of the buildings, the land and the potential of the property.

Target Markets The property at the heart of the 1000 Reasons offering presents a genuinely unique asset mix, and as such is likely to attract interest from several distinct buyer profiles rather than a single, conventional market segment. Understanding these overlapping audiences is critical to shaping both the marketing narrative and the eventual sale strategy for the owners. These target groups are not just South Australian based, but interstate & international, hence, we need to identify these groups in order to market to then on a global scale. Owner-operator hospitality buyer: seeking to acquire an already trading, licensed food and beverage business rather than undertake the cost and risk of establishing one from scratch. The maturity of the offering makes this a low-risk, cash-flow-ready acquisition. Agritourism or experience-economy investor: A growing buyer profile in the Adelaide Hills given the region's strong tourism and hospitality economy. This buyer is drawn to the property's capacity for multiple revenue streams, particularly the approved glamping accommodation and the large enclosable veranda and flat lawned area suited to functions and events, viewing the property as a platform for a broader rural tourism business rather than a single-use asset. Lifestyle buyer motivated in part by income potential: Typically a tree-changer or semi-retiree seeking acreage living alongside a commercial income source to support the move. The existing Development and Building Approval for a residential dwelling is the key drawcard here, allowing on-site living alongside the operating business and broadening the property's appeal beyond dedicated hospitality operators. Boutique wellness and retreat operators: the glamping infrastructure, orchard, cattle paddocks and rural outlook could support a farm-stay or wellness retreat concept.


How we plan on targeting the right buyers Paid Meta advertising allows us to strategically promote the property across Facebook and Instagram, targeting audiences by location, demographics and relevant interests. This ensures the campaign reaches the right buyers, from those within the Adelaide Hills and surrounding areas to interstate and global markets.
