A Small Outreach Action That Builds Stronger Communities

When apartment traffic slows, most teams don’t stop marketing. They just lean harder on the things already in motion.

What often gets overlooked are the small, relationship-based actions that quietly support leasing, visibility, and trust over time.

That’s where this week’s Try It comes in.

What “Try It” Means (And Why It Works)

Each week on The Multifamily Mix Podcast, I share a ‘Try It’ — a small, doable tip based on years of working with thousands of property managers and being one myself.

Nothing complicated. Nothing that ignores real onsite life. Just small actions that build strong communities.


This Week’s Try It: Medical Outreach Marketing

Try medical outreach marketing when traffic slows or feels inconsistent.

Medical outreach is one of those strategies that teams know works, but often pause it when things get busy. Not because it’s ineffective, but because it doesn’t always feel urgent.

The truth is, it’s one of the most PMRC-friendly (Property Manager Reality Check - Sprout's own formula) forms of marketing that creates multiple wins at once:

  • Low cost

  • Low pressure

  • High trust

  • Highly repeatable

To make this easy, the Spark resource for this ‘Try It’ is a customizable Medical Outreach Marketing Flyer for dentists, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals.

Why Medical Outreach Marketing Is a Smart Small Action

Medical professionals are always a strong renter group for apartment communities.

Doctors, dentists, nurses, and medical staff often have stable employment, place a high value on convenience and location, prefer quiet communities, and look for a place to live that supports their sometimes crazy schedules. 

Medical outreach marketing isn’t just about finding someone who needs an apartment today. It’s about showing up consistently and being visible where it matters.

 

What This One Action Can Do

When apartment teams engage in medical outreach marketing, several things can happen:

  • You may meet someone actively looking to lease

  • You may build a relationship with an office manager or HR contact

  • You may position your community as a preferred option for future hires

  • You create content that shows prospects your team is active and engaged

Not every visit results in a lease, but every visit builds awareness, trust, and credibility. Which is exactly how small actions stack into something BIG.

 

Use the Calendar to Make Outreach Easy

One of the easiest ways to make outreach feel doable is to let the calendar guide you, and March is a great example.

Medical Outreach Moments to Use

  • Dentist Day – March 6

  • Doctors Day – March 30

When you focus your outreach around these dates, you have a clear reason to show up and a natural reason to bring in some small appreciation gifts, which will definitely make you memorable.

An extra bonus if someone who works in the office has already toured! This just gave you the perfect follow-up and way to reconnect.

No cold drop-ins. No sales pressure. Just appreciation and visibility without feeling pushy or out of place.

 

What to Focus On During Medical Outreach

The goal of medical outreach marketing is not to pitch floor plans; it’s to communicate ease of living.

Medical professionals often care about:

  • Short commutes

  • Quiet living environments

  • Fitness and wellness amenities

  • Coffee, food, and daily conveniences

  • Preferred employer discounts and benefits

Your outreach materials should reflect how your community supports real life, not just availability.

"I just have to say THANK YOU to Sprout Marketing for always saving my day. They understand property management and exactly what we need to succeed. Not only are there daily posts, but also outreach marketing ideas and material, resident event ideas and material and most importantly, training ideas for myself and my staff! I am so thankful for Sprout and I am so excited to introduce my entire company to this platform. Such a lifesaver for all of us!"

Turn Outreach Into Content That Supports Leasing

This is where outreach marketing extends beyond the visit itself. When you share outreach efforts on social media, you’re showing activity, building trust with future prospects, and highlighting your PEP naturally. It also reinforces your role as a connected local business that they can trust. 

This type of content supports leasing even when prospects aren’t ready to tour yet.

Try It This Week

If traffic has slowed or feels unpredictable:

  1. Choose one nearby medical office or hospital

  2. Use a calendar moment like Dentist Day or Doctors Day

  3. Bring a small appreciation item

  4. Leave a simple, customized medical outreach flyer

  5. Capture one piece of content to share

Small actions. Strong communities. Sustainable leasing momentum.
