Strategy
A data-driven proposal for reaching Massachusetts vacation rental property owners
Executive Summary
A data-driven Reddit advertising strategy targeting Massachusetts vacation rental property owners through two distinct geographic campaigns.
The Research Insight
Our analysis of Wilkuma's property portfolio revealed two distinct feeder markets with different buyer demographics, geographic origins, and purchase motivations. Rather than a single broad campaign, we recommend two targeted campaigns—each with specific zip code targeting, intent-based subreddit selection, and tailored messaging.
60%+ of North Shore, Cape Cod, and Islands buyers originate from Boston's affluent western suburbs—the Dover-Weston-Wellesley-Newton corridor.
~2,500 documented second homeowners from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Westchester. The Taconic Parkway creates a 2.5-hour escape corridor.
Why Reddit?
of Reddit users own property—one of the highest rates among social platforms.
more likely to purchase another property compared to users on other platforms.
Our Targeting Approach
We don't target geographic subreddits broadly—that's too unfocused. Instead, we combine geographic zip codes with intent-based subreddits and relevant keywords. This reaches users from our target areas when they're in a vacation rental mindset, not when they're browsing local news.
Two Targeted Campaigns
Our research identified two distinct feeder markets for Wilkuma's properties. Each campaign targets specific zip codes combined with intent-based subreddit targeting.
North Shore & Coastal MA
Boston Metro → Cape Cod, North Shore, Islands
60%+ of buyers from the Dover-Weston-Wellesley-Newton corridor. Targeting affluent Boston suburbs with 24 validated zip codes.
Berkshires & Western MA
NYC Metro → Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lenox
~2,500 documented NYC metro owners. The Taconic Parkway creates a 2.5-hour corridor from Manhattan to the Berkshires.
TARGETING FORMULA: [Geographic Zip Codes] + [Intent-Based Subreddits] + [Relevant Keywords]
We don't target geographic subreddits broadly. We target users from our zip codes when they're in a vacation rental mindset.
