80 Social Media Post Templates For Apartment Marketers

Most apartment marketers today recognize how important it is for their communities to be active on social media.

With 223 million active social media users in the United States today (70% of the entire U.S. population!), social media is one of the most popular online activities in the world and one of the most effective marketing channels available.

But there’s a big difference between simply “being” on social media and using social media as a strategic tool for building brand awareness, boosting engagement, generating leads, and growing your audience.

The challenge is, as the number of people flocking to their favorite social media platform continues to grow, so does the number of businesses attempting to use those channels to get in front of their own target audiences.

In fact, 60 million local business pages have been created on Facebook since launching with the average social media marketer posting 8 times per day.

Yikes.

In order to stand out, you need to be strategic with your words. That means writing posts that cut through the noise and speak directly to what your audience wants most, which is exactly where most apartment marketers tend to struggle...

  • How do you write an Instagram caption that grabs the attention of your audience?
  • What’s the best way to use Facebook to paint a picture of what it's like living at your community?
  • What hashtags should you be using in your copy to expand your reach? 
  • How can you tap into Pinterest?

Well, that’s exactly what we’ve put together. 

We’ve created the ultimate cheat sheet for crafting social media posts that align with your marketing strategy and connect best with potential renters. We’ve created templates organized by both social media platform and your desired outcome since your posting strategy needs to align hand in hand with your social media campaign strategy

Use them as inspiration or simply insert your own information into each one to personalize them for your community and thus start seeing results!

What’s Your Goal?

If someone asked you why your community was on social media, what would you say?

If you answered with something like “because our competitors are on social” or, ”because my boss said so," then we have some work to do.

If you’re committing time, money, and resources to social media, having clearly defined goals that tie back to helping your business succeed is vital. 

Are you hoping to get in front of more potential renters?

Do you want to drive more traffic to your website?

The Facebook post you use to push traffic to your website won’t be the same as the one you use to encourage people to follow you. That’s why we’ve categorized the templates by goal.

Choose the category that best describes what you want to achieve and dig in.

So ask yourself, what do you want to get out of your social media efforts?

After setting your sights on your goal, grab a pen and paper, take some notes, and post away!
