Fall Resident Appreciation Ideas & Easy Gifts
Are you a property manager that is trying to think of creative and easy ways to show your residents appreciation this fall WITHOUT spending a ton of money or time?
If you’re over there raising your hand then you’re going to love that we’ve gathered our favorite, budget-friendly resident appreciation ideas in one place. The best part?
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.
Retention isn’t about the big things you do for your residents. It’s the sum of all the small efforts over time. This is just one more way that resident appreciation will lead to higher retention and occupancy rates.

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

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.
