Over the years, we have built up the following interview template to talk to multifamily property managers about their property’s marketing: their objectives, what they have been tasked with re property marketing, and specifically what content marketing they may or may not be doing. Then, we use this information to craft highly effective Zero Vacancy Campaigns.

- Occupancy rate
- Average days-to-lease
- Renter churn rates
- Average renter lifetime values
- Lead-to-tour conversions
- New leads and their sources
- Website, Landing page, and social media traffic and conversion rates
Content Marketing inventory:
- Print Assets
- General Brochure for Property
-Vacancy Brochure

Use of print assets: post-on-site and around in the community: Church, community and government spaces, supermarkets, local businesses, highway rest stops, bulletin boards
Web Footprint descriptions and consistency of use:
