July 24, 2019 3:01 pm 2 CommentsAre you utilizing all the important marketing tools needed to maximize your leads? Your apartment website is like a package that gets you everything you need to produce qualifying leads. This blog will talk about all the great marketing tools you can use to bring your apartment website to life and produce the leads you need to turn prospects into residents.
1. Keep your website up to date.
The first step to maximizing your leads is to make sure your website is up to date. Do you have updated pictures of your units and amenities? Are they clear and bright so they attract prospects? The gallery page is one of the first pages prospects go to when deciding if your apartment community is right for them. Be sure your photos are enticing.
Is your content updated? Are there any move-in specials you need to promote? Even if nothing has changed about your apartment community, it’s a good idea to make changes to the content at least once per month so that search engines will recognize your page as being active and current.
Market Apartments recommends that you update our neighborhood page and romance paragraph the most often. Your community is probably centered around plenty of great restaurants, stores, and entertainment. Highlight something new each month, and you’re good to go. As for the romance paragraph, get creative and change up a few adjectives that describe your property the best.
2. Communicate with residents
Communication is key to any healthy relationship. This includes communication with your residents too! We’re not just talking about your face to face interaction (although that’s important too). We’re talking about HOW you get information to your residents.
Especially the people you only see once a month. Whether it be to let a resident know their maintenance request has been completed or to invite them to an upcoming resident event, your residents need to know what’s going on.
Market Apartments has a great marketing tool to solve communication problems with residents. Introducing Aptschat. Aptschat is a tool that can help get a quick message to your residents in the most effective way, through text messaging! With your residents’ permission, you can send out mass texts to an entire building, or if you need to inform just one person, you could do that as well. People are constantly using their mobile devices. It’s time for apartment communities to communicate with their residents in a modern way.
3. Utilize print Services
This tool isn’t part of your website, but EVERY apartment community website should be utilizing this important apartment marketing tool! How do your outdoor signs look? Is the print large enough to see? A banner could be what catches your prospects attention before anything else. Make sure your outdoor signage is updated and enticing.
