No thanks to the 69% QoQ dive in private-sector sales.

Savills Research reported:

In Q4/2012, investment sales in the residential sector amounted to S$2.8 billion or 37.5% of the total transaction value. Total residential investment sales fell 28% from the S$3.9 billion recorded in Q3/2012, mainly due to a slowdown in private-sector sales which plummeted 69% QoQ.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
