It is not easy to sell land, it takes lots of time and effort to sell commercial real estate properties and find tenants. In this post, we’ll discuss the importance of microsites, what they are and how they can highlight your properties, listings, and availabilities for marketing purposes.
According to Wikipedia, a microsite is “an individual web page or a small cluster of pages which are meant to function as a discrete entity within an existing website or to complement an offline activity.”
So basically, a mini-website page that doesn’t have multiple navigation options like a website.
It allows you to create a website with the sole purpose of marketing to leads and prospects a single property or selection of multiple properties that could be based on price, location, etc.

To stay ahead of the competition, the most successful brokers have professionally-looking websites and pay for property listings to advertise their listings and track all property information in their CRMs.
Using microsites can help brokers generate more leads and sell or lease their properties faster.
Microsites allow you to engage users and interact with you or your marketed property in a focused setting eliminating outside distractions that could derail the deal or conversation. This includes other listings or advertisements.
In addition, microsites can assist you in your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) efforts.
For example, with AscendixRE Composer, you can overwrite the domain to create a vanity URL so that your company name, property, location, or any keyword necessary is part of the URL to assist with a search online.
Marketing with a microsite allows you to separate the offering from a larger website and can assist you in generating new leads.
It can allow your prospect to focus on the property or properties you wish to share without them getting lost in a website of offerings that aren’t relevant to their price point, location, or other requirements.
However, you can still link back to the main website on a microsite to connect the marketing dots as well as contact and social media links.
Nowadays, there are a few available options to showcase your property listings.
The fastest way for you to get started is to use the Looplink listing management solution by Loopnet. They will provide you with the embedded widget you can use to add property listings functionality to your website.

While Ascendix offers professional services and can definitely create any custom solutions, we kept hearing from the market that there should be another way to tackle this challenge.
We decided to change this and created a property listings portal solution that can be configured as a stand-alone site or as an embedded component in your existing website within a short time frame and for a very reasonable price.
What is more, the listings portal will be integrated with your CRM and you can manage content right from your CRM.
