Recently, I found many of my friends took the Roomie Test which is an application on Facebook. This application was published by a real estate agent company. How do the roomie test work?
so basically, you just need to click on “take the roomie test” and they will choose the best roomate suited with you. This application choose your roomie based on your facebook friends, they analyse the mutual friends, the common things you have with your friends. After the roomie has been chosen, you will be provided an option to share it on your Facebook Timeline, so your friends will recognise it and will be able to take the roomie test as well. Below the results, you will see a caption
” If you’re moving in together, why not do it in Sweden? Fastighetsbyrån, Sweden’s largest real estate agency, can help you find your dream home.”
This application was launched by a real estate agent company called Fastighetsbyran. I think they have a good idea by using Facebook application to promote their service. They provide an attraction which is the roomie test so that people will be interested in entering their website.
By people sharing their result on their Facebook, more people will recognize the application, and it will raise the awareness of this particular real estate agent company. Not only that, this company also relate to this application perfectly, as some people who take the roomie test is likely to be someone who are looking for a roommate and also looking for a place to share with them.
What do you think of this real estate agent company’s idea ?? 🙂
