Stock Development – Stock Custom Homes

The Stock Custom Homes brochure insert, published in the November issues of Naples Illustrated and Gulfshore Life, was designed to embody the elegance, craftsmanship, and prestige that define the brand. This piece targeted a highly affluent, discerning audience- homebuyers seeking one-of-a-kind luxury residences in Naples’ most exclusive communities.
With a refined and deliberate creative direction, the brochure aimed to showcase the level of detail, artistry, and grandeur that sets Stock Custom Homes apart. At its core, the brochure positioned its featured homes as architectural masterpieces, meticulously designed to offer beauty, comfort, and sophistication. These properties represent the pinnacle of Southwest Florida luxury, and the brochure was carefully curated to reflect that level of excellence.
Every design element of the piece was considered to create a tactile, premium experience for the reader. With the elevated photography and clean, modern layouts, the insert invited prospective buyers to not only admire the homes, but to imagine their lives within them. Full-bleed photography was used to bring attention to striking architectural features such as expansive glass walls, sprawling lanais, gourmet kitchens, and spa-like primary suites, while elegant typography and minimalistic design ensured the messaging felt sophisticated and unobtrusive.
One of the challenges of this piece was the limited space within a standard magazine insert, which had to function simultaneously as both a compelling visual ad and an informative, aspirational brochure. The solution was a balance of storytelling and visual hierarchy, allowing the homes to speak for themselves while reinforcing Stock’s legacy of excellence.
This insert also presented a timely marketing opportunity. November marks the beginning of Southwest Florida’s high season, when second-home buyers from the Northeast and Midwest return to the area. By placing the brochure within two of the region’s most respected lifestyle publications, Stock Custom Homes ensured direct access to its core demographic: high-net-worth individuals with a taste for quality and custom design. The brochure also included a digital call to action directing readers to the Stock Custom Homes website, where they could view additional properties and floor plans.
The success of this insert was rooted in its ability to distill the essence of the Stock brand into a compact, visually rich format. It not only highlighted specific homes, but reinforced the message that a Stock Custom Home is not simply a place to live- it is a reflection of elevated living, tailored to individual lifestyles. With striking imagery, refined design, and carefully crafted messaging, the brochure fulfilled its marketing objectives by attracting qualified leads, reinforcing brand equity, and setting the stage for future sales.
