CLASS Leasing: Online Marketing



Marketing online is beginning to revolutionize the apartment industry and making many communities re-evaluate where exactly marketing dollars are being used. It is often very expensive for communities to be placed in printed apartment books and there may not necessarily be a positive trade-off of those same apartment books driving in good qualified traffic as potential renters. One obvious advantage of online marketing is that there are an endless amount of free websites that apartment communities can join. With there being no up-front costs with a majority of these sites, there is little to no overhead and any inquiries that come from these sites can be viewed as positive results. Online marketing serves the same purpose as printed material marketing, except that by being posted online, the amount of clientele that can potentially see your property's information has expanded exponentially. One could honestly spend an entire day researching websites to market apartment communities on and tips to get more traffic to a community's site and he/she would barely scratch the surface of the amount of material available online. Online marketing is constantly developing, but there are already many great sites out there that are very useful. Property Marketing Gurus put together a collaborative list of 10 things that one must do in order to establish a strong online presence for a community. Do as much research as possible and see what else you can find that's benefecial that is not on this list.

Enjoy!
