COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
Marketing plays a significant role in the success or failure of the property in achieving its occupancy and operational performance goals. That said,
the most important result of the marketing effort involves not just generating traffic but generating qualified traffic. Once the qualified prospect
comes to the property, the marketing effort continues at the property in terms of curb appeal of the property, and further with the quality and
training of the on-site staff and the rental policies in place. We will also review the “Branding” of each community and make suggestions for
improving the perception of the property in the marketplace, if required.
PHILOSOPHY
We approach the marketing of multi-family properties from several different directions but the most important is our philosophy of “Clean and
Green”. Drive-by traffic typically provides the largest source of, not only traffic, but residents at any given community. We preach and practice
excellent curb-appeal from both a cleanliness and landscaping perspective. We may not be the newest or the biggest but we can always be the
cleanest and the greenest. This approach also extends to signage and collateral marketing material such as property signage, bandit signs,
balloons, employee appearance, etc.
Training our on-site teams to understand their property and the competition helps them overcome objections and sell-up our properties’ better
points. Leasing based on price alone can work but we prefer to lease based on our positives in comparison to our competition thus getting more
rental revenue than if we leased based on price alone.
We get to know our “competition” through monthly market surveys and site-visits. We consider ourselves industry leaders when it comes to leasing
and management but we need to understand the competition and how they may affect our position in the market.
We focus a lot of time on Resident Retention through proactive lease management, activities and communication. History shows that apartment
turnover for a particular property typically falls within a relatively small range year over year. However, we work especially hard to provide the
service a resident expects and deserves. Not only may it help retain the resident for another year or longer, but they can also become a valuable
source of additional residents. We especially enjoy paying residents for Resident Referrals as it not only provides a new resident but also reflects
favorably on management since an existing resident recommended one of their friends. We review lease expiration date history and manage
lease expiration dates throughout the year to try and ensure that not too many leases come due in less desirable months.
We emphasize corporate outreach as a means of generating qualified traffic to a property, as well. Canvassing local businesses for residents also
goes a long way to creating camaraderie at the property.
We advertise in various media. Depending on the property and what works, we will use a combination of print and internet advertising. We
constantly monitor the success of our marketing campaigns by not only measuring traffic but rentals generated and cost per lease, etc.
We recommend a web presence as well, both via an interactive web-site and through various forms of social media. Connecting with both
prospective resident and current residents through the internet can be both inexpensive and rewarding.
