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.
