Online Marketing Resources

There are a host of marketing resources that our subscribers can have "on demand."

Successful management teams are becoming increasingly unwilling to wait for the "phone to ring" from expensive advertising or potential residents to "walk-in" from elaborate signage. Even an elaborate website is no more than a business address for someone to visit at their pleasure. Industry leaders are becoming aware of the need for outreach programs that bring additional qualified potential residents to the apartment community on a consistent and ongoing basis. The Internet and e-mail now make direct marketing campaigns a viable method to attract and capture customer interest. Such outreach programs need professional planning, execution and evaluation.






I.T. Partners can define, design and deliver a custom online marketing program tailored to your specific requirements that will reach out and grab potential residents and bring them to you.

Employee turnover is a primary concern. Finding, hiring, training and holding onto quality people are proven ways to increase profitability of apartment communities and industry companies. The inherent costs of attracting and retaining good employees are rising at a dramatic level.

Utilizing online and computer-based technologies we will provide recruitment and hiring systems that maximize your efforts with guaranteed results.

Many industry companies are growing, expanding geographically, coping with mergers, experiencing employee and leadership turnover. The need for constant and consistent internal communications has never been more pronounced. Conversely, your internal resources have never been so stretched.

There are some exciting real estate investment opportunities that require the rehab and repositioning of an apartment community. The goal is to effectively and efficiently make an older property new again and present it favorably in its market to attract a targeted new resident profile. However, with repositioning budgets running between $3000 -$20,000 per apartment home this is an area in which every detail needs careful consideration.

I.T. Partners will define, design and deliver targeted online resources that will support repositioning from start to finish:

  • Strategically plan your repositioning
  • Walk with you step-by-step through analysis and economics of rehab options
  • Develop the marketing tools necessary to establish and measure repositioning milestones
  • Establish recruitment and incentive requirements for the on-site management team
  • Conduct coaching sessions with the on-site property management team to achieve: effective ongoing communication with the construction crew, solid resident relations and conflict resolution along the way.
In the past, income from ancillary sources represented no more than 2% of your apartment communities' total annual revenue. Going into the future this percentage might increase up to 25% of the total. Ancillary income opportunities are complex but profitable decisions that require strategic planning: involving market research, customer surveys and focus groups. I.T. Partners will define, design and deliver the marketing support necessary to ensure your success.

Call centers are coming to our industry. This is a major investment with potentially huge returns if strategically planned, developed and properly managed. Our experience with the technologies required for a state-of- the-art industry call center along with our networking inside this specialized market niche are proven resources to our clients.

Some industry leaders understand and use the potential of building business relationships with large and mid-size companies that are relocating their employees and thereby require rental relocation services. Usually the key relationships are with third party relocation companies that provide comprehensive relocation services to corporations and are looking for reliable rental housing providers that they can use in a particular marketplace. The specialty area of corporate relocation is not universally understood inside our industry. I.T. Partners provides insider resources to their subscribers as another competitive edge.
