If a quality cosmetic comes in a beautiful package and helps drive the appeal of your brand then it is smart marketing. Then think of "curb appeal" as the package imagery for your home you are listing and launching.
Someone once said, “a stunning first impression is not the same thing as love at first sight. But surely it is an invitation to consider the matter.” This could not be truer than in selling a home. First impressions matter. Sometimes they are everything. Nothing sets the tone of a relationship or encourages a transaction more than first impressions.
