I used both craigslist and Trulia to advertise my urbansiderentals apartment and deals in Houston. These two real estate sites works great on me. Last month, I posted one available apartment for rent in downtown and High rise in Craigslist and got quick response two days after that.

At 950 sf, our apartments are pretty spacious for our area, so I really like the "hey diddle diddle." I will definitely use that one when I get a vacancy again. My most successful ad I've used in the past is

10 reasons you should have moved here the last time your lease expired.

10. You can save money on going out! We have two pool tables, table tennis, and a book exchange! (OK, this one's a little corny, they get better.)

9. One word: apartmentratings.com -- Check it!

8. Indoor pool! Heated and Open year round!

7. 24 hour fitness center, right here in our building. No excuses! (did I mention the indoor pool?)

6. On-site laundry, in the same building as your apartment, mailboxes too. No need to go out in the rain.

5. ASSIGNED parking. Your parking spot is assigned and comes included with your rent (just one space per apartment though, sorry.)

4. Closet space. Over 65 sf of it. Is there such a thing as too much closet space?

3. Never drive to the store. We are walking distance to hundreds of shops and restaurants. Hundreds. Right.Next.Door.

2. Location, Location, Location. The mall, Target, Grocery Outlet, 5 bus lines. One block from Highway 217 (OK, this one sucks for drivers at Christmas time).

1. You will not find better customer service. We care about our residents because you are also our neighbors.

Our friends at RentSentinel , who provide some fantastic Craigslist posting tools, have been nice enough to share some of their effective Craigslist ads for apartment marketing!

They also sent along this note:
  • Post quality ads vs. quantity
    • Posting ads at the right time with unique/creative content will get your more views than posting 8 times a day

  • Using a variety of content…
    • You don’t have to mention your amazing pool or fall special in every title
    • If you have been using the same description for 300 days, it will not grab prospects attention, but will grab Craigslist’s

  • Timing
    • We recommend posting 2 times a day, at the times that have the highest percentage of views based on our hourly reporting.
      • Typically one morning, one afternoon, on evening

I use www.smilebox.com for a lot of ads. You can choose from hundreds of templates! Add photos, video and music.
These make really eyecatching ads. I pay for a premium account, but the templates can be used for photo albums, scrapbook pages (that I save as photos to use in my craigslist ads), newsletters and more!
We get lots of traffic and compliments on these ads.
The most viewed are short 10 second videos that I upload to the collage templates and I call them Craigslist Commercials.
