Weather disasters, police emergencies and mass shootings seem to be on the rise.

“In multifamily, loyalty equals retention,” noted Lisa Trapp, director of customer experience at Sequoia Equities, Inc., during the AIM | 17 session on Person Centric Marketing. “Let’s talk about United Airlines. Does bad PR necessarily mean that you lose customers? No. Not if we get into our renters’ hearts, hands and minds.” Staying in touch during a crisis situation is key to ensuring safety and also resident retention.
The theme of this year’s AIM conference is “The Extreme Edge of Innovation.” A keynote by Malcolm Frank, chief strategy officer & chief marketing officer of Cognizant Technology Solutions, will demystify “Marketing, Creativity and Your Career in the Age of AI and Robots.” Frank will walk attendees through examples of how these new machines can radically improve marketing efforts while taking their apartment company to the next level.

“At Monument, our teams have to build the plane as they’re flying it. Technology is a challenge. It’s changing so fast these days,” said Greg Lozinak, CEO at Monument Capital Management, during a panel discussion at AIM 2017. “With so many options, how do you make the right choice about what platforms to use? How do you avoid overwhelming your onsite teams? The velocity of change is insane.”
