  • Why face the weight of a $7,600 turnover when you can lighten the load for just $49? Turnover isn’t merely a financial hurdle; it often accompanies disruptions to your community, heightened stress for your team, and increased resource drain. Each empty unit coincides with lost income, additional marketing costs, and valuable time dedicated to re-leasing efforts. Consider this: either allocate thousands toward turnover costs or invest a modest $49 to nurture stronger resident connections

IDEAS FOR HOW TO EFFECTIVELY OUTREACH 

Use these 5 ideas on how to tackle outreach marketing:

  1. Stop into one business on your way home from work.

  2. Leave a few bundles at the front office of your children’s school.

  3. Ask every employee to visit one location on their lunch break (and give them a few extra minutes for lunch)!

  4. Start a few minutes early and visit 1-2 locations on your way to work.

  5. Pass out a few bundles while you are out running errands: at the bank, drive-thru, picking up groceries.

The most important thing is that you just get out there and spread the word about your awesome apartment community and what makes you unique!
