Case study: Vivly Living

Introduction
Vivly Living is a property developer delivering high-quality homes across three residential developments. Since February 2023, Clothier Lacey has provided comprehensive marketing support to help raise brand awareness, increase website engagement and attract potential buyers.
​
Our involvement began with the management of Vivly Living’s social media channels. In October 2023, our role expanded to include blog writing and email marketing. Alongside this, we have supported the company with design work, marketing campaigns, advertising, targeted leaflet distribution and marketing strategy.
​
The project
Our brief was to increase the visibility of Vivly Living’s developments and strengthen the company’s online presence through a coordinated marketing strategy.
​
Working as an extension of the Vivly Living team, we implemented a structured programme of ongoing digital marketing activity designed to keep the developments front of mind with potential buyers.
​
Each month we:
-
Wrote and uploaded two blog posts to the Vivly Living website
-
Sent two email campaigns to their database
-
Created and published five to seven social media posts across Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn
This consistent flow of content ensures that potential buyers regularly encounter the Vivly Living brand throughout their property search journey.
​

​
Our approach
Our approach focused on building a consistent and visible online presence for Vivly Living while supporting the promotion of individual developments. By combining organic content with targeted advertising and email marketing, we ensured that the company was reaching both existing contacts and new potential buyers.
​
Regular blog posts were used to strengthen the website’s search visibility while providing useful information for prospective homeowners. Email campaigns helped maintain communication with the existing database while promoting new homes, updates and announcements.
​
Social media played a key role in driving engagement and directing users back to the website. Carefully targeted boosted posts allowed us to extend the reach of campaigns and competitions to a wider audience.
Alongside organic marketing activity, we also implemented paid search campaigns to capture users actively searching for new homes.
