Partnering with Restaurants

My favorite thing to do is to talk to the marketing directors at the local restaurants such as Apple Bees and Chili’s. They are more than happy to give me coupons for free deserts or appetizors. These coupons can be used as a closing tool or to offer while on the phone to a prospect. I offer a free desert or appetizer for taking a tour. You can also take copies of their menus to put inside your move in baskets. Give out the coupons to new move ins along with a gift card. If you purchase several gift cards for marketing or resident retention the restaurant is excited about posting your fliers in their employee break rooms. Offer discounts to the employees 10% off of their monthly rent for being a preferred employer. You can also partner with a local pizza place. Have them bring their pizzas to your community to sell around the time your residents get off work. Create a flier for your residents promoting the sale. This is a benefit for your residents because they can pick up dinner right there at the clubhouse.
