Job Postings Equals New Renters

We've heard many success stories regarding using Craigslist to find prospects, but what about using their job postings as a springboard to new leases with strong companies? I had a community approach me recently discussing how their market was very tourist driven, which was experiencing a significant downturn. Residents who left often left because of a new job elsewhere. But it's likely that there are still hirings in some aspects of the market, even if the market overall is struggling. So if you can target those companies, you will find not only stable jobs, but potentially people moving as a result of these new jobs. So why not look through Craigslist (or other) job listings to find these companies and approach them about working together? Give them a preferred employer discount and you might have a strategy to find residents in your down market!
