The digital marketing landscape is more fragmented than ever, with brands scrambling to maintain visibility across many platforms. Traditional approaches to content distribution often resemble a game of darts, blindly throwing messages across every channel, hoping something sticks. With businesses facing tighter budgets and increasing pressure to achieve measurable results, marketers must refine their strategies to ensure content resonates with the right audiences. According to the Content Marketing Institute's 2024 report, 87% of marketers say content marketing generates demand or leads, but only 52% believe it helps build loyalty with existing customers.

But in order to actually make that happen, you've gotta have content that resonates, that is brand authentic. And by doing so, we will transcend all the changes that are happening on all these channels, and we're going to make it easier for us to be able to find other invest internal investment of people who we need to create supplemental content that need that we're gonna need to scale. We spend fifteen percent of our dollars there and then we look to the younger generations and these newer technologies and these things are happening in dark socials, a great place, Reddit, etcetera.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
