CREview Ep. 12 | LoopNet Marketing Audit: What CRE Marketers Can Learn

Josh and Dylan review LoopNet's Instagram account, praising its clean, aesthetic-driven approach built on genuinely high-quality photography rather than corporate messaging.

Key Takeaways

Aesthetic-first, photography-driven content can work exceptionally well on Instagram, even for a large corporate real estate brand.

Producing this quality of content requires real investment in professional photography, not achievable with a quick smartphone shot.

Boosting even a small amount of budget behind strong organic content can dramatically increase its reach and engagement.

Simple, clean posts with short captions and strong visuals can outperform more corporate, information-heavy content.

Setting aside even a modest budget to boost your best organic posts is a practical, low-cost way to extend content reach.
