Two major themes emerged in this year's AIM conference: AI and centralization. Listen in for takeaways for onsite teams.

“Anytime you bring two people together, a culture will develop or grow. Culture grows in every organization. The question becomes, are you intentional about what you're going to grow? Or, are you unintentional and you leave it up to chance and circumstance?” Our leadership university continues with Bill Nye in part two of our series: Building Leaders with Bill Nye. Intentional vs. Unintentional Culture.

We’re winding down 2019 (like, what?? How did this happen so quickly?) and as we always say at Sprout, this is not the time of year to take your foot off the gas, but rather keep going and finish the year strong.

We know that the end of the year can feel even more busy than usual but we don’t want you to neglect planning for this last month of the year. In fact, this is a great time to celebrate creative holidays with your residents while they’re already in the mood to celebrate. This season is also a great time to get out there and do some outreach marketing around your community. 

If you want to make your marketing efforts as easy as possible, while still being effective, then these done-for-you bundles in our Sprout Shop is the way to go. Couple those bundles with a FREE download of our Creative Holiday Calendar and you’re GOLDEN for the rest of the year.

A lot of time, energy and money are spent on apartment marketing. Most of it (sigh) doesn’t work.

We always get so excited when a new month rolls around (even if they seem to be rolling around faster and faster). A new month means a new Sprout Marketing Calendar full of brand new ideas for you to get new residents and keep those awesome ones you already have! The October calendar and the Daily Dose ideas for this month have allllll the Fall vibes and we are loving it because, let’s be honest, we’re melting here in Texas and we can’t wait for cooler weather.

For a lot of us, it’s our nature to work as long and as hard as possible, sometimes (most of the time) to the detriment of our own wellbeing.  We put in overtime, we cut lunch short, we keep pushing back the time we say we’re heading home, and oftentimes that behavior can be justified because we are busy people. But I’m here to tell you, busy doesn’t justify sacrificing your well being both physically and mentally.
