Pinterest-Worthy Resident Appreciation Ideas
EASY resident gifts & apartment slogans
Resident appreciation is the key when it comes to your apartment renewals, and it doesn’t have to take a big chunk of your marketing budget. At Sprout Marketing, we are all about small, cheap, and EASY ways to make a dent in your resident retention.
Think about your apartment retention strategy like a jar that you are filling up. Each touchpoint you make with your resident, that is 1 piece that goes into the jar. The more in the jar, the more likely your resident is to renew. One thing (no matter how over the top it is), done once leaves your jar pretty empty - whereas lots of small efforts will make that jar overflow.
Small and more frequent efforts, give you more opportunities to make a connection with your resident - and that is what sets you apart from the competition. Below you will find a preview from our member’s exclusive resident appreciation mega-list.
