5 Thanksgiving Marketing Ideas for Apartments

1. Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway

With the majority of states across the country enforcing mandated restrictions on get-togethers for the holidays, many people may be alone on Thanksgiving without a festive meal. Show some holiday cheer by hosting a Thanksgiving dinner giveaway on social media. Your followers can nominate themselves or other people by sharing your giveaway post. The winners get pre-prepared Thanksgiving meals delivered to their door!

2. Sponsor a Thanksgiving 5K

 

What’s Thanksgiving without a 5k? Sponsor a local 5k this Thanksgiving and promote your apartment community in between. Hand out merchandise with your apartment’s branding and information while meeting potential residents! Be sure to follow CDC guidelines on best practices to ensure safety for outdoor events.

3. Donate to a Reputable, Local Charity

There’s no better way to recognize the season of giving other than helping the less fortunate around us. Choose a nonprofit organization with significant meaning to your business or community, and offer a donation annually during the holidays. Be sure to promote the content around your apartment community and on social media by posting information and pictures affiliated with the charity. 

4. Get Festive on Social Media 

Speaking of social media, try tailoring your social platforms to accommodate the Thanksgiving season. Take your social media marketing game up a notch and reflect goodwill, togetherness and gratitude in your online presence during the month of November. This can provide a stepping stone for your audience to view your apartment community as welcoming and a great place to call home.

5. Offer Thanksgiving Incentives 

Within multifamily and real estate, it’s known that the holiday season can be especially slow for new acquisitions. However, this doesn’t mean you have to adhere to this commonly held assumption. Offer exclusive Thanksgiving incentives for people who sign a lease within the month of November. 

Additionally, it’s essential that you promote the incentives across your social media platforms and with Facebook or Google ads that direct prospects to a landing page. Using a Thanksgiving apartment marketing idea such as a holiday incentive can toss big leads your way within those “slow” months. 

 

Leverage these Thanksgiving apartment marketing ideas to make the most out of the holidays and generate solid leads. Now, you can successfully drive results no matter the time of year!
