Marketing is really important to make your property visible to potential tenants. Your marketing efforts will yield better results if you focus on your marketing efforts to a targeted audience. Here are few ways in which you can use targeted marketing to find the perfect tenant –

Do your homework – Remember, different people look for different amenities in a home. So, you first need to make a list of amenities that your property is offering.  Next, you need to customise your marketing strategy based on the target audience.  Apart from the property, also make a list of features of areas that the property is situated in.

Use the power of social media – Tenants and prospective tenants are leveraging the power of social media to find an accommodation. So, if you are a property owner, the first step is to create and optimise your social media accounts. Post pictures of your property, share your property in groups related to people looking for rental property and more.

Get personal – The only way to attract potential tenants is to stand out from the crowd. So, it is better to go personal in your communications. One effective way to market to a targeted audience is by bringing personalisation and build a genuine connection.

Location is important – Location is quite an important deciding factor when it comes to renting properties. For example, if there is a college or university nearby, you should target your marketing efforts to students. In case you are targeting families, highlight the benefits of the location like proximity to station, stores and other transport options.

Look through the eyes of the tenant – When it is your property, you will always see the good points about the property. But, you are not the one who is going to reside in it. So, look at the property from the eyes of who may reside in it. So, if you do not reside in the area of the property, you need to make yourself familiar with it.  Look out for things that a tenant will look out for in and around your property.  Compare the price of your property with the others being offered in the area.

Happy tenants not only feel well treated, but they also keep the property in a good condition. Problems with tenants will not only cause you money but also result in stressful situations.  Finding a tenant over and over can be really stressful; so, it is important to make the right choice of a tenant in the first place.
