My Experience As a Property Manager Was the Driving Force to Make Marketing Easy for On-Site Teams
My Experience As a Property Manager Was the Driving Force to Make Marketing Easy for On-Site Teams

As a former property manager, I know the increasing demands placed on onsite teams to operate an apartment community. When you are responsible for a multimillion-dollar multifamily asset, you have to focus on leasing apartments, retaining residents, maintenance requests, owner reporting, dealing with staff turnover and so much more. It’s no wonder, property managers often feel overwhelmed in their role. That’s why when we set out to create The Sprout Marketing Membership we focused on how to make marketing and retention simple and actionable for time-starved managers, leasing agents, assistant managers, regional supervisors, and marketing directors. Our program is budget-friendly and focuses on increasing apartment occupancy and retention rates through consistent outreach, follow up, referrals, renewals, resident engagement, social media campaigns, and more.

KISS Your Way to Consistent Improvements at Your Apartment Community + A Free Download
KISS Your Way to Consistent Improvements at Your Apartment Community + A Free Download

The new year is coming up and if you’re anything like me, it has you looking back at the year and reflecting on what went well and what went…not so well. When you’re in that state of reflection, don’t let it pass without taking the time to use that information to your advantage. At Sprout, we use the KISS method to reflect on things we’ve done to see how we can improve the next time around. What we love so much about this method is that it doesn’t take long to complete and once it’s implemented, you’re able to see real, positive changes. All you have to do is reflect on the event or situation and think about what you want to Keep, what you want to Improve on, what you want to Stop doing, and what you want to Start doing.

5 Resident Appreciation Ideas that Won’t Break the Bank
5 Resident Appreciation Ideas that Won’t Break the Bank

Do your residents know how much you appreciate them? It’s so important to show them that you are grateful they picked your community to make their home. It's easy to lose a little steam as the year is winding down. It's like our bodies and minds want to go into hibernation mode! But we can't let our marketing and retention go into hiding. Have you ever heard it said, "Summer bodies are made in the winter"? It's the same thing with our communities. The work we do in the winter months pays off all year round, so don't stop hustling!

Break Through The Noise With Captivating Apartment Marketing
Break Through The Noise With Captivating Apartment Marketing

It’s no surprise that attention spans today aren’t what they used to be. Studies say that in 1920 the average attention span was 20-minutes. Today? Eight seconds...the same as a goldfish. As a property manager trying to market your apartment community, this fact should stop you in your tracks. Breaking through the noise of day to day life is a real challenge. Twenty years ago, we were just trying to stand out from the competition with nice curb appeal and a good photo in our For Rent ad. But today’s online world has created a new set of complicated problems for apartment marketers. Your community is no longer just competing with other communities. You are competing with EVERYTHING for your customer’s attention.
