We’ve linked all of our favorite Amazon items so you don’t have to leave your office. You, along with your leasing agents, will have a blast putting these gifts together and then seeing your resident’s eyes light up when they see your thoughtful appreciation gift.

Resident Appreciation Station:
Make it your own
Never underestimate the ability to brighten someone’s day with a kind message in an unexpected place. Set up “Resident Appreciation Stations” throughout your community.
These work great in the fitness center, the clothes care center, the business room, and anywhere else that residents frequent.
We LOVE plants at Sprout Marketing, so our resident appreciation station is surrounded by some of our favorite plants.
Keep your message fresh by switching out your appreciation message and design regularly.
This is a breeze with the Sprout Marketing Membership where you’ll find HUNDREDS of designs geared towards showing your residents how much you appreciate them.
Check out a few fall seasonal designs below.
