Case Study

#4 Seven seconds to impress

Challenge

This virtual letting agency for university student accommodation, struggled to attract quality students or get landlords signing-up their properties, because students did not feel the site took them seriously as customers, and landlords expected a more professional approach.

Solution

With four months to turn things around, NKC quickly created an identity for Ahome4students.com that stood out, looked contemporary and welcoming for students, whilst also smart for landlords.

As both its public face and engine room, we knew the new website had to be mobile and work effortlessly. Rather than develop a one-size-fits-all solution, we created separate on-site environments for students and landlords, with different content, functionality and user experiences. To keep costs down, we wrote the content and used photos from image libraries.

We also created a company brochure to mail to potential landlords and designed an email conversation template. This way, there was no marketing down-time while completing the site. Lettings boards were also produced, giving AH4S strong presence on the streets.

Result

In a recent online poll three quarters of students using the site rated it highly and were happy to recommend it. They also have a waiting list of landlords wanting to promote their properties. Further testament to its success, the site’s owners have been approached by a well-known portal to buy the business and replicate the business model across the top university towns countrywide.
