Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop marketing communication strategies for the "Icon Villa" low-rise residential project in Khon Kaen Province using a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative phase involved a literature review and semi-structured interviews to identify 35 observable variables. The quantitative phase employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with a questionnaire that demonstrated strong content validity (IOC = 1.00) and high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.964). Data were collected from 400 potential homebuyers interested in low-rise residential projects. The analysis reduced the variables to three principal components, explaining 64.947% of the total variance: (1) marketing communication emphasizing long-term quality living communities, (2) marketing communication highlighting masterpiece-quality home design, and (3) marketing communication focusing on comprehensive value for buyers. These components were synthesized into the LMC Model (Living in a Meaningful Community), where L represents Long-term Living Community, M represents Masterpiece-Quality Design, and C represents Comprehensive Value. The LMC Model provides practical guidelines for developers to design targeted marketing communication strategies, enhance competitive differentiation, and strengthen project credibility.
