I'm curious, do any of yall do any boots on the ground outreach marketing? We have exhausted every online avenue, bandit signs, banners, flags, you name it and have only a trickle of traffic. If so, has it worked for you. Boots on the ground marketing is all that I have not done!! Your input is greatly appreciated.

Guest Insider Is there a transportation hub near your community (such as a commuter train? In the Bay Area there is Bart or the Light rail) if so, create a small postcard that says “If you lived at #### apartments, everyday would be like this”, then as they go to pay for parking you pay for them.
If you accept pets, connect with a local shelter and organize a pet adoption day. For prospects and residents offer 6 or 12 months “free pet rent” if they adopt. Obviously marketing the event is important but the ones that I have held have been great to pull in traffic and of course has been a hit with residents.
If there is a walkable farmers market or local event, see if you can get a booth. Use existing collateral and any branded products to give out as gifts. Advertise an offer that if they come tour and lease you will refund the application fees at move in. Team members should wear branded shirts.
Just a couple of ideas that worked for me ????????

Guest Insider If that’s truly all you haven’t done, we need to chat about what you are paying for to date and why it’s not working like it should. Evaluate the companies you are paying for digital campaigns, and other programming, and ask the hard questions… Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss further.

Donje Putnam I did do! Pre-covid though. Joined the Chamber and went to all events, took the list of employer/members and reached out/visited them to offer referrals. One thing that was particularly helpful was we got ONE lady who worked at a short term hotel where big companies brought in their employees while they looked for apartments/homes as they relocated, and she referred a ton of people and quite a few leased.

Meera Dane True story: senior building with a waitlist. We had one of the ladies pass away and despite being able to contact something like 30 people, they all chose first refusal rather than move in to the unit. They were all part of the same community and were *certain* it was haunted. We did consider what budgetary item an exorcist might fall under, and I was looking up potential leads. We had someone from outside of that community take the unit. She has reported no ghosts.

Becky Dotson hmmm sounds fishy - Stayed 1/2 a night, Laying on floor? Doesn't sound like they really moved in if they were on floor? Noise sounded like an off balance washer. Typical apartment noises really. Would love to see if any paranormal investigators really came. Or if she got her deposit back.

Stephanie Oehler I feel like that could be re-rented in a hot minute with the proper advertising: "Ghosts live rent free", "Why settle for normal, when you can have paranormal?"...
