A careful SCOT Analysis actually helps your organization to choose the medium, strategy and mode to reach out to your audience with proper message.

Real Estate Industry as an example, which in today’s competitive scenario shows lot of completion and credibility issues is focusing on Print and Outdoor as medium to advertise, which may be good medium for visibility but again puts you in competition where the Strengths and Credibility is not coming out as your outcomes of activity. Advertising campaign still leaves the audience into a confusion of choices available verses suitable choice. Real Estate Campaigns with standard Buzz Words of Assured Returns, Location Advantage, Best Project actually puts the audience into confusions where no company actually coming forward with a clear vision and message to customers – What exactly makes them different from others. Manipulated ORM Strategies on other hand shows managed results in web search where the confusion again is multiplied. In such a scenario, there is strong need of Transparent and Clear Advertising where customers actually can make a choice on basis of their requirement. As most of Realty Clients are looking for Long Term investments, they are primarily looking for Credibility Factors and Delivery of Project is their prime concern. So a Promises to be made and ones to be fulfilled needs to be clear in the campaign, instead of just going for attractive Tag Lines, Creative or Strong PR/Media Coverage which actually can be managed quite easily.
