I am on two very busy streets and at the largest mall around, so I have way too much traffic!

But some surprising sources of traffic at my property are from reviews (apartmentratings and google,) resident referrals, and the postcards I send to all the businesses nearby.

Good Luck!

Dear Anonymous,
That might be a great app, but if you're in a secluded area, there probably isn't enough drive by to make it useful. Some of the ILSes have adopted something that sounds similar to that technology...you just have to be careful not to annoy people by pushing info to them, in our already inundated world, that they really aren't interested in. It could have the reverse effect of annoying rather than promoting.
:silly:

Curious if anyone would be interested in a app that targeted your drive by traffic phones....by pushing an alert with content to them when they are driving by? Thoughts?

I might be biased, since I am in the business - but bandit signs really do work.

We have a client that we place 20 signs a weekend for. We cover about a 3 mile radius from their property - which also captures people driving to ajacent competitor properties.

They have been overwhelmed by the response from the first weekend we placed the signs.

We only service the Kansas City Metro area - but you might do a Google search for "weekend signs" and see if there is a company near you.

Hope this helps!

Jeff,

We recommend boulevard banners up the entry drive. They are versatile and visually attractive. They can have your amenities and features. There are so many things you can do.

Let me know if you would like some design ideas.

Jeff, these are great ideas. I'm very happy to see so much support with in the group. I was reading another thread earlier, in this same group and Robert Rankin had some excellent ideas about doing an Open House with current residents. Have some food available, with some beverages and let the residents tour any units you have available. Let them invite any quests they know are searching for a new place to dwell.
This idea will generate good will with current residents, make a great first impression on any quests invited, and also generate some serious word of mouth.
Internet presence is key also. My company the Tenant Landlord Association specializes in all things "Web Marketing" from Search Engine Optimization, Email Marketing, Web 2.0, Pay-per Click, etc. We have downloadable PDF Brochures you will be able to customize to your property, and many more options for marketing your property.
We work on a pay for performance basis, are extremely affordable, and offer a money back guarantee if one of our tenants back a lease with you for any reason.
