Reach for New Renters

With spring’s college graduations and early summer’s high school graduations behind us, a whole new generation of renters is coming online. These young renters are bringing new life into the rental market, along with their mobile devices and digital expectations. Born in 1995 and after, the first wave of Gen Z are now in their 20s and chances are, they will be searching for rentals with their smartphones. Are you doing everything you can to attract these tech-dependent prospects to your properties? Trends show that Gen Z doesn’t really respond to traditional advertising, but does read reviews and makes decisions based on them. They spend more time on Instagram than Facebook. They are likely to prefer online chat or texting for communication, and expect to pay for things online. That means rent, too. Here’s some great news: the advanced marketing services of RentCafe Reach are now available to our Yardi Voyager Student Housing clients. Now it’s easier than ever to reach more renters who are searching online for a place to live. What is RENTCafé Reach?
