We’re a collection of student apartment communities located in the BEST college towns across the country. We create beautifully designed places where students make life-long friends, find contemporary spaces to study and play while also discovering themselves in the process. We offer unique gathering places that help create a sense of community, because we believe that where you live can shape your college experience just as much as the major that you choose. We even have a dedicated onsite team to ensure that students have an expert and a friend they can turn to for help while navigating every aspect of apartment living—from signing a lease to finding a roommate while finding a snack or something fun to do close to home. We’ve learned that students want to connect and hear from other students when making their housing decision. And that’s where YOU come in… Navigating the sea of student housing options can be overwhelming and you’ve been selected as a Socialite to help spread the word about The Social in an authentic and enthusiastic way. Welcome to The Social. We're very, well, social!

Organic Content
vs.
Why don't we post flyers? Posting organic content of Residents, University Students, Resident Events, Amenities, Pups, University, etc. INCREASES engagement. When we have high engagement means we have people interacting with our posts. Creating content that your residents, prospects, and parents/guarantors can relate to will attract more people to your page. Consider how many likes, comments, and followers each of your posts attracts to see which posts do well to learn for future postings. Remember Instagram is a lead generating tool, showcase why our residents love to live in your communitiy. Engagement

The two apps the Marketing Team recommends with a range of filters are TEZZA and LightRoom. See the key differences between the two below. When you decide on the App that is right for you, please use the same filter on each post to create your page's aesthetic.

"Pics or it didn't happen" Every Resident Event needs to be posted on Instagram as a story and/ or post. Residents Events are a leasing tool for residents, prospects, and parents/guarantors. Showcase resident life at your community through your Resident Events, this is a great opportunity for content. When hosting events, be mindful of the location, time, and activity. To keep ALL your residents engaged, give them a range of options for them to attend. For example, If you host an event Monday at 10:00am, a resident who has class at the time cannot come the whole semester. Check with your Manager for your monthly budget and work with your team to prepare your community events. Tips & Tricks
Prior to each month, work with your team to plan Resident Events. Consider Holidays, University 1. Events, University Calendar, and team member's schedules to plan accordingly.
2. Create a monthly Calendar with events, time, and location that can be sent to residents and Parents/ Guarantors in Message Center. Also consider flyering the property and community doors with Event Calendar. In addition be sure to post this on your Instagram story and/or post.
3. The week of event, be active on Instagram story and/or post with event reminders. Send a reminder email with event details. In addition, consider sending out a text message to your community with information.
4. Lastly, consider Direct Messaging to personally invite your residents to attend your events. You can also send your residents the flyer on Instagram via Direct Message.
5. At the Event, take LOTS of pictures. Include as many residents as possible for Social Media. Always ask if you can take a picture and be customer service heavy with residents. 24

Tagging Guidelines
When utilizing/ resharing any of their media that is not our own, ALWAYS ask the individual if we can tag the individual or brand’s account prior to posting.
Include a tag in both the photo and story.
If this photo is taken on campus, add the university to the locations tab and tag the university. 26
The brand design visually represents our identity to our viewers. Keeping our brand consistent helps viewers form recognition of our brand.

KEY THREE ORA™ FACTORS
#1
#2
#3
Relevancy
Positivity
Consistency All major review sites should reflect the same ratings as the other sites. This gives prospects a better holistic view of community sentiment. If you are a 4 on Google, you should be a 4 on Apartments.com & Facebook.
Just as with all reputation, positive reviews are always better. If you look at the top- rated communities on J Turner's published list, all of them sit at a 4 star or higher. Combat negative reviews quickly and ask for reviews after a positive encounter with a resident or prospect.
All major review sites should reflect recent reviews. Put yourself in a prospect's position- they want to see what the community sentiment is like now and not how it was five years ago. This benefits us as we tend to improve reputation when we take over new communities.
