Building a Stronger Brand in Multifamily Marketing

Brand or Trend? The Choice That Defines Success

Are your social media efforts building lasting relationships or just riding a trend wave? It’s tempting to chase trending hashtags and flashy templates, but for multifamily properties, the real win is in fostering loyalty, trust, and a sense of belonging.

Leasing consultants often get caught up in creating generic content to keep up with social trends. But ask yourself—is this the best use of their valuable time? Wouldn’t their energy be better spent engaging with residents and enhancing their experience?

Authenticity Isn’t Just a Buzzword

Authenticity is like a stable Wi-Fi connection—everyone claims they have it, but how many actually deliver? Simply using tools like Canva to churn out polished but impersonal posts isn’t enough. Residents and prospects crave connection, not just "content."

It’s time to rethink what authenticity truly means. It’s not about trying to juggle three tasks on a live video or rushing to hop on the latest TikTok dance. Instead, imagine a leasing consultant organizing a community BBQ or hosting a movie night. Now that’s authenticity—showing residents you care by crafting real, meaningful moments.

Why Leasing Consultants Should Focus on Residents

Leasing consultants are the backbone of resident satisfaction. Redirecting their time to activities that truly matter has a far bigger impact on your property’s success. Here’s where their focus should be:

• Engaging with residents: Foster genuine community bonds by regularly checking in with current residents.

• Providing stellar service: Prioritize swift and helpful responses to inquiries and maintenance concerns.

• Personalized tours: Highlight your property’s unique features to prospects, making them feel at home.

• Planning community events: Fun and memorable resident events create loyalty and engagement.

• Managing online reputation: Tackle reviews and feedback proactively to protect and enhance your image.

By putting residents first, leasing consultants can create a living experience that builds both retention and reputation.

The Trend Trap

Sure, trends grab attention—but it’s fleeting. Memes and quick-hit content can become outdated overnight, leaving your brand looking out of touch. Meanwhile, prospects care about more tangible things, like a clean, welcoming community and responsive management.

Instead of leaning into trends, multifamily properties should use social media strategically. Focus on showcasing your community’s unique identity through genuine, meaningful content that resonates with your audience.
