Advertise Vacant Units For The Small Apartment Complex That You Manage

Posted on: 15 December 2016

If you manage a small apartment complex and wish to advertise vacant units in order to acquire prospective tenants, the following tips can be useful. Once you have located people who are interested, they may be anxious to set up a tour of each unit that is available so that they can determine if one of them will be suitable for their needs.

Design A User Friendly Website

Take photographs of the units that are available for rental and prepare a detailed description of each one. Set up an appointment with a website designer to assist you with creating a website that will stand out and attract visitors. The website should have information about a way to contact you directly in case some people would like to learn more about a particular unit or are interested in viewing one or more of them right away.

Update the website regularly so that it reflects information about any changes concerning the rentals that are available so that prospective renters do not become discouraged or feel as if they have been misled.

Advertise Locally And Offer A Discount To New Tenants 

Hire the designer of a printing company to design flyers. The flyers should list vital information about the apartment complex, including its address, phone number, cost of rental units, and utilities or services that are included with the price of rent.

A discount can be offered to new tenants, which may help increase the odds of someone stopping by to tour the apartments. A specific amount of money off the first month's rent or the ability to pay a security deposit over a set amount of time may be appealing to individuals who are currently strapped for cash but need a place to live in the near future. Place the flyers in businesses around town.

Set Up A Meet And Greet Event 

Plan a meet and greet event that involves speaking to prospective renters about units that are available and amenities that are offered with each one.  Have a couple large signs designed that list information about the event and install them on a portion of the property that you manage.

Current tenants who know people who are looking for a new place to live may be inclined to tell them about the upcoming event. Other people who pass by the complex may make plans to attend the occasion in order to learn more. During the gathering, hand out information about the complex so that attendees can read through it at their leisure after leaving.
