April Resident Retention – 2010

This idea comes from Betsy Green at Sugartree Apartments #7379:

1. Betsy likes to host an egg hunt for her residents; an adult hunt and then a separate hunt for the children. For the children’s egg hunt, Betsy filled plastic eggs with candy and small toys (Dollar Store).  For the adults, Betsy handed out candy and (with DM approval) had plastic eggs that contained coupons for money off rent. Two eggs contained coupons for $25 off rent and 1 egg contained a coupon for $50 off rent. Betsy contacted her vendors and they donated 2 free carpet cleanings, one free apartment cleaning, and 5 free pizza coupons all of which were hidden in the plastic eggs. The egg hunt was a huge success and it looks like the adults had more fun than the kids!!!

National Home Improvement Time

1. Create a card/flyer to hang on each resident’s door to let them know that April kicks off National Home Improvement Month. As a way to get rents submitted on time, do an early bird drawing. The winner will receive 1 or 2 “free” hours of maintenance time to help the winning resident with odd jobs i.e. hanging pictures, touch up painting, light furniture assembly, etc.

National Gardening/Keep America Beautiful Month

When You Garden, You Grow!

Every April communities, organizations, and individuals nationwide celebrate gardening during National Garden Month. Gardeners know, and research confirms, that nurturing plants is good for us: attitudes toward health and nutrition improve, kids perform better at school, and community spirit grows.

Have a local landscape store employee or someone from your local college Horticulture Department give some pointers to your residents on gardening in small spaces. Hold a “Greatest Garden” contest and give a small prize to the winner!

Special Touches

Create a “Special Touches” card or flyer that outlines services that our residents can use or borrow.  Items might include:

• Card Tables
• Small Tool Boxes
• Moving Dollies
• Fix a Flat
• Jumper Cables

You can also provide services such as plant watering, fish feeding, and package delivery for residents who are on vacation.  Your residents will love the convenience of the “Special Touches” that you offer!

Resident Retention calls

Here is our always free retention idea! Be a good communicator.  Return your resident’s calls/emails promptly.  When you want to thank a resident, send a handwritten thank you note. Our residents will appreciate the personal interaction.
