Examples of Property Managers Making a Difference with Their Marketing, Resident Retention & Social Media Efforts
If you ever feel like you are lacking in inspiration or just don’t know what to do at your community for your residents or prospects, then I think you’re really going to love this page.
Each week we want to highlight how those in our Sprout Community (whether part of our Sprout Membership, Simply Social Membership or customers of the Sprout Shop) are taking small steps to make a big impact in their marketing and retention efforts.
We hope you leave inspired to make memorable moments at your apartment community too!

Awesome events + great social media presence:
The team at The Michael at Presidio is always hosting the BEST events at their communities. From Pilates on the Deck to Paint Your Own Pumpkins, these guys are delivering incredible experiences for their residents. We love following their Instagram account to see their events in action.
Recently they hosted a grab-n-go Pet Treats in the Office! They utilized their Sprout designs in a little frame for an extra pop of color! We decided to feature them as our #Sprouter of the Week because they show up every single day for their residents.
