With the recent spread of the Coronavirus, what are some creative “virtual” events we could do?

Our company did the same

Same.

Facebook bingo however do a live

Photo scavenger hunt posted on Facebook.

Happy story competition online. Best story gets a prize while hopefully creating some positivity in the process.

Nicole R. Coschigano - very interesting! Are any mgmt companies operating in the Raleigh/Durham MSA doing this as well???

Josie Eatmon, have you heard anything about companies in our area doing this?

Omg I was just having this conversation with my team at Sprout Marketing! My thought is take some of those physical events and translate. Here are some ideas:
- Drinking games to tv shows or movies. Like the bachelor or bravo show as an example!
- online trivia - could be themed each week!
- online bingo
- guess how many but digitally
- watch parties for popular shows or movies. Post on Facebook or Instagram and have people comment their thoughts.
- recipe swap - people still have to eat. They may not want to go out to eat so they will need to cook more!
- virtual scavenger hunt where they have to take pictures of them doing things at home and post pictures on your social or with your hashtag - could be coronavirus theme like cleaning, washing hands, etc.
- live videos of chef cooking classes, bar tended making a special drink, etc. things people can make without leaving their home.
- virtual yappy hour where people post pictures of their pets on your social and introduce themselves
More coming from the team at Sprout Marketing but here as some initial thoughts!

Video game battle (especially for teens), top Candy Crush (or other scores), virtual scavenger hunt, interactive videos for “how tos”

I am doing a property scavenger hunt for March. Itll be over 5 days ending on the 17th

Window bingo - email out or give out cards printed from online template , each day post a new bingo number on a 8.5x11 piece of paper on the office window.

We have community Rewards, so planning on adding a Custom Action to reward them with points.

Recipe swaps, pet photo contest

We are doing the same thing we just canceled all of our events and I’m wondering what we can do or maybe something on social media with gift cards

Facebook bingo! Put cards on doors and post a number every day

Virtual cocktail hour with a prize for best decorated mask photo - lol

Not signing for packages, not sharing pens, no handshakes, frequent hand washing / sanitizing areas... Mostly common sense but good reminder.

Class on washing your hands..jk

Drive by breakfast, drive by chips, salsa & Corona beer

Virtual Bingo; Stream a movie and have folks post pics of their families watching the movie; Have a virtual "Pet of the Month" contest where folks submit pics of their pets online; A Virtual Silent Auction where folks can bid on items provided by Vendors could be fun too!

One thing I have been doing with my clients is motivated by art - books • food • art - small groups - virtual with me. You can inquire at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. It’s creative, fun, entertaining and “educational”

How about a paying rent on time academy. Sorry, ill see myself out.

Hold a coronavirus themed event. Serve Coronas, use toilet paper as decorations and raffle hand sanitizer for prizes! Lol

Perfect!!! Great ideas!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you

So glad this helped, Sara! :)

We’re doing a virtual wine down Wednesday!

Michelle Malolepszy, how exactly are you setting that up?

Beth Augenstein were going to try the Zoom app or google hangout. Still working out the details.
If you’re in Chicago, there’s a company that will host it and set it all up for you!

Michelle Malolepszy, I am in Dallas! But please let me know how it goes! When are you all doing it?

Beth Augenstein we’re planning it for next week! I’ll keep you posted ????

Michelle Malolepszy hi!! What’s the name of the company in Chicago?

Alfredo Chang it’s called TylerTellsJokes! They did a boozy bingo for us and it was such a hit!

We did a call campaign and just checked on residents. Wrote down work orders for when we can begin them again. People loved that we just wanted to genuinely check in.

I have some friends who are doing bingo live....kid and adult version.

We're hosting a Netflix Party Movie Night tonight

Door decorating contest

I'm preparing to host a food truck; residents will pre-order via the company's app and the food truck will deliver to the doors. Resident pays. I'm also trying to host an on-line board game night

We are doing phone in Bingo. The winner gives out there unit number and we credit them free parking for a day.

We had a food truck here today and had about 40 residents showed up. All were prcticing social distancing. Idea ~~ Set up a breakfast or dessert table in the lobby.

Post Bingo numbers (different numbers on different social media sites each day to drive traffic to them all) I put bingo cards printed in the office on each door for the residents

We are doing an Easter egg event.. email your best dyed egg for a chance to win a prize!! I'm thinking we are going to give an easter basket away as the gift ????

We had a good truck one night this week. Provided the menu and a phone number to call in an order. Residents loved the dinner option and the vendor, a local small business, had consistent orders for two and a half hours! Win-win!!

Virtual paint night.

Friday Happy Hour. Residents convene on their balconies at 5pm on Fridays to enjoy a cocktail. Calling it “sip in solidarity”. No cost to us, and residents love the shared community experience.

Which property are you at? We did a Netflix Party.

We're doing different kinds of events on social media each week. This week was pool related (warmer weather got us thinking) and we received 36 residents participating. Winner got dinner on us at home.

We did a poll of all healthcare workers and sent them all an email coupon for free pizza, thanking them for all their work. We also did a dyi egg hunt, provided 30 filled bags so they can hold their own egg hunt!

We had a lip singing competition then a Zoom happy hour and showed the clips
