50 Questions To Ask Your Residents On Social Media

Apartment social media can be tricky, and it’s easy to run out of ideas. Posting on social media can seem simple, but getting your residents to stay engaged is a whole different story. There is an art to interacting with your audience, and it can start by following the right strategies.

In recent months, resident retention efforts and resident events have continued to challenge multifamily communities facing COVID-19.

Try to approach your social media strategy with a new lens. Discover various topics that can spark up a conversation between you and your community, and watch the connection grow! The right questions can also help you get proactive feedback that can strengthen your property. Let your residents know that your social media will be a place of information, education, and fun. You can also use specific interaction ideas for more than just social media. They can be a great starting point for further creativity, ideas, events, and beyond.
