COVID-19: Impact on Resident Engagement

Now Available On Demand

Not long ago, most apartment property managers thought of resident engagement primarily as an in-person activity through community events and on-site conversations. That changed overnight with the arrival of COVID-19.

Some leading apartment operators were already positioned to shift to fully virtual resident engagement through a combination of cutting-edge tools and creative ideas. With the lasting impact of COVID-19, activating these plans has accelerated as apartment managers focus on retention and engagement strategies for limited new-lease demand in a severe market downturn.

Join us for the webcast, COVID-19: Impact on Resident Engagement, where RealPage® Deputy Chief Economist/VP Jay Parsons, Modern Message Founder and CEO John Hinckley, and RealPage VP of Consumer Solutions Jennifer Piccinini discuss these timely topics with leading industry executives:

  • Best practices for engaging residents and building a sense of community virtually, beyond emails and other two-way messaging
  • Current examples of online activities and virtual events that are successfully engaging apartment residents
  • The latest data on apartment resident communications, retention and rescinded notices
  • Virtual resident engagement practices in a post-quarantine environment that can drive apartment retention and its long-term impact
  • How a successful virtual resident engagement strategy can influence both retention and leasing traffic
