LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2018 / A decade ago, communication was completely different back then. As time passes, leasing offices struggle to maintain effective communications around their properties. One reason for this could be advanced technology and the demand for widespread digital communication.
A huge change has happened in apartment leasing and basic marketing campaigns. Smartphone and social media applications are dominating the industry at alarming rates. So what is the best way to begin a new dialogue through using new technology?
Here are few tips and methods to consider for your properties to help onsite communication, Neil Shekhter explained.
Texting
This type of communication has literally taken over as the new way to interact in our society. It now has replaced the use of sending an email, to making a phone call or simply having face-to-face interactions. An email blast can now come from a text message. Even though email still exists, a text message is more effective with an instant arrival and visibility to a smartphone.
Social Media
This platform is becoming a direct news source. It allows instant engagement online. Social media helps with the advertising and promotion of a property's community news and spreading needed information. This can bring communities on properties together and create a sense of home.
Appreciation events are very powerful for leasing properties. Several are beginning to use social media as a way to share information about these events prior to their existence and posting community photos of the event afterward. This type of beginning and after communication activity allows for community involvement all the way around.
Snapchat
This is known as a very crucial app the has across the board effect. It allows for sharing photos, texts, videos and even creating a funny story or geo filters. It keeps community engagement very high and can inspire feedback. Snapchat is noted as one of the most successful applications to create immediate connections as technology moves quickly forward.
FaceTime or Skype
This is an awesome way to get direct feedback. The platform offers video-chatting that is direct and very personable. It allows for genuine communication to take place giving leasing properties effective feedback and the opportunity to address any and all concerns. It further ensures privacy, as visiting the office may be a thing of the past.
Email Blasts
Though this form of communication still lives, it is becoming less useful. However, it can still be an effective form of communication sharing policy or even goals of the leasing property. It's important to realize it is still viable and can be dependable.
It's a new world we are entering into and taking advantage of new technology is key. Properties are realizing the importance of building communities that have a more personal feel.
