5 Ways to Create a Great Site Visit for Prospects
Too often, the potential resident’s meeting with the staff and tour of the community is treated as an afterthought. Here’s how to make that crucial marketing task more inviting.
It’s a scene that regularly plays out at apartment communities across the country. A prospect who’s excited about seeing a property walks into a leasing office and … it goes all downhill from there.
