Proactive Marketing in Down Times

The days of selling condo units with a postcard or a party are over. The challenging for-sale housing environment requires that you learn how to analyze and redefine your target markets to understand where you can find your best prospects. And given the credit crunch, it means you may need to be prepared to sell the same unit twice. Marketing executives from leading companies will look at the best technology for finding prospects, following leads, and tracking the results so that you not only get the sales but get them at the smallest cost per lead possible.
Moderator: TBD

Marketing and Designing for Generation Y

What are the housing desires of Gen Y and how will those desires change the product that we develop? How much housing can they afford and what unique design features, amenities, and locations do they expect? What are the best ways to capture their attention and communicate with them? Our experts will focus on how this younger generation will influence our design, development and marketing activities on the projects you may be starting now.
Moderator: TBD

Building a Brand

Branding is a buzzword in today’s business world for all kinds of companies trying to sell their goods and services by creating a perception in the minds of their customers and prospects that there is no product or service on the market that is quite like theirs. But is it possible for a multifamily owner/developer to create such a brand across their portfolios or for individual properties? In this session, marketing experts from some of the industry’s most respected firms will share their adventures in branding—their challenges and successes—and offer insights into how building brand equity can differentiate you from your competitors in the market.

Technology for the 21st Century

The Internet is one of the most profound cultural and economic forces of the 21st century, but few multifamily firms have managed to maximize its effectiveness as a marketing tool. In this session, we will examine everything from internet listing services, to apartment marketing sites, to search engine optimization, to finding ways for all the available technologies to be integrated together. With an emphasis on capturing and analyzing data, this session will show you how to use the latest technology to determine your sales sourcing as well as the costs of various advertising sources, while offering strategies for training your onsite staff on the best way to convert these leads into leases.

PRESENTED BY: Andrew Botieri & Patty Morgan-Seager

SESSION DESCRIPTION: Do you spend more time, energy and money trying to get people in the front door, than you do for current residents walking out the back door? With the current housing crises more and more residents are choosing to rent single-family homes rather than apartment homes. This means we need to focus on customer service and resident retention like never before. In this session we’ll uncover how on-site teams can really make a difference and set you apart from the competition. We’ll also discuss how to create “moments of truth” with all residents and explore why residents leave your community. Lastly, our panelists will share great resident retention ideas that work with any size budget. RSVP below to participate in this chat. What do you have to you lose, except your vacancies?

COST: None, thanks to our sponsor, Spherexx.com and Propprint.com.
