You're Awesome To The Core!

School is almost back in session! This means there are tons of opportunities for back-to-school goodies and activities. We love delivering teacher appreciation kits to nearby schools.

Bring it to life: Include a basket of fresh fruit, an “Awesome to the Core” flyer, and your business card. Have a bigger budget? Include school supplies as well!

  1. Sprout Members: Log in and download your Back-to-School flyers and graphics! We have so many styles to choose from! (Just search: BTS)

*If you offer a PEP discount, make sure to let them know.

Back-to-School Charity Drive

Back-to-school season is also an opportunity to give back to those in need by getting your apartment community involved to make the back-to-school experience a great one. Happy kids = happy parents = happy residents! Host a school supply drive for residents in need, your local school, or a charity of choice.

DO IT NOW IN A FEW EASY STEPS:

  1. Sprout Members: Download our done-for-you invites or customize one.

  2. Bring it to life: Display a box in the leasing office to collect supplies and get the word out to your residents!

Alt version: Host a back-to-school swap party:

  • Provide the residents that attend with tote bags to hold the items they want to take home.

  • Have tables laid out where items can be displayed. 

  • Whatever items are left over, pack them up and donate them! Everybody wins!

FREE RESIDENT EVENT GUIDEBOOK

You’ll get fresh event ideas that you can use year-round + event checklists, advice on how to increase attendance, how to throw events within a budget, and how to market your events and your community.

 

3. Social Media: Welcome to the Neighborhood

 

Bring it to life: Post this digital graphic to your social media pages to welcome new residents AND promote your location online. Tag and give a shout-out to all the nearby schools in your area (colleges too!).

Bonus points if you add some extra details like how long it takes to walk or drive to the school.
