Pinko Marketing and new house builders

So, my new job (which has taken a lot of my time recently!) seems to conflict with my blogging.

Many house builders barely have a marketing department to speak of and those that do work in a very simple and formulaeic fashion.

So where does Pinko marketing fit in with these people? Is there ANY point in trying to speak to these people a) about blogging and b) about Pinko Marketing.

I am a BIIIIGGGG believer in Pinko (as many of you will testifty!) but I am REALLY, REALLY struggling to think about how to bring these people into the digital age!

My current company do what we do VERY WELL but how do I bring Pinko or even blogging to my new company without sounding like a total fool??!!

Help!!

That's a tough one - particularly as the business you're working for may not feel like it really needs to establish a long-term relationship with clients ... after all, how many times is a client going to buy a home from you?

I will say one thing: forcing a marketing model on people who just don't get it will not work.

a) it's not real for the company, so it's not authentic, so it won't ring true over time

b) when people don't understand you, or understand new things you want to do, they have a very strong incentive to think that you're stupid, because this saves them the difficulty of rationalizing the fact that they don't get it. So its a bit dangerous, personally. (Especially in a new job)

Suggestion:

Get some wins. Establish a track record. Then start moving downfield in the direction you want to go ... slowly, but purposefully.

You think home-builders are behind the times. . . . .. ha! Go take a look at the "Green Industry": The Landscapeers, Landscape Contractors, Garden Centers, etc.

I don't even know where to start. Let's just say I go to conventions and I hear guys areguing over the merits of Yellow-Pages ads. sheeesh . . .

In some cases, the council can also lend money to help buy a bigger home.
Councillors hope the scheme will encourage families to foster disabled children, or brothers and sisters who might otherwise be separated.
