Clever Ways to Use Banners to Get Renters into Your Apartment Building

Finding good renters for your apartment building requires a multi-faceted approach. You should post ads online and reach out to personal and professional connections for referrals. It also means getting a little roadside attention. After all, people who are looking for apartments for rent are likely to drive by your properties when they otherwise wouldn’t even know the property is available!

It’s true that you can put a yard sale-style sign in the grass with your contact number, but why not do more to get attention for your properties, especially when it’s so easy and you have so many choices!

Custom flags are the perfect way to entice renters to come into your apartment building for a look around.

What kind of custom flags should you choose? The Flag Makers are here to provide you with our professional recommendations!

Take your pick of display banner flags

Display banner flags are a great way to advertise an open unit inside your apartment building. Especially when there are so many designs for you to choose from!
Display banner flags include:

• Teardrop Banner Flags: These flags showcase an overstated curved shape, giving it an appearance that is hard to ignore.
• Custom Feather Flags: The design of these flags features a gentle curve at the top of the flag, but flags with different bottoms can be ordered. You can choose from a blunt bottom angle, a curved convex bottom, a curved concave bottom, and a square bottom angle.
• Rectangular Banner Flags: These flags are a traditional way to advertise with a true rectangular shape. They also provide the most area for you to display your logo, images, or content.

Display banner flags can be used outdoors or indoors. Use the bottom stake attachment to stick these flags directly in the grass, or use them in the leasing office with the cross bottom attachment.

Create a more permanent advertising display with street flags

If you have a large apartment building or complex that continuously has openings for new tenants, you may want to consider a more permanent solution to your advertising problems. Unlike display banner flags that have to be taken inside at night, street flags can be left up all day and night long.

They rely on permanent poles that are secured to the ground. They are often very tall to deter people from touching the flags, which is why they are a popular solution for schools, town squares, and of course, large apartment complexes. Because they are tall, they can also command attention from down the street, or even blocks away.

Not only do they not need to be brought inside at night, they also provide you with more flexible advertising capabilities. You can order flags with your property management logo, you can use flags that advertise available units, and you can fly fun holiday flags throughout the year. They can be changed out as frequently, or infrequently, as you would like.

Have a little fun with flag bunting

Renting apartments may not be that much fun for you, but looking for a new place to live should be fun for your potential tenants. Unfortunately, it usually isn’t.
Tenants are faced with bland, boring leasing offices and leasing agents who make it very clear they would rather be anywhere else than at work.

Show potential tenants that you do things differently in your office with flag bunting. It’s a playful way to dress up the entrance to your apartment building, it can be used to decorate the office, and it can be used to celebrate special holidays and occasions. In short, it’s a great way to show that you like to have a little fun!

Colorful bunting is an easy way to decorate, but customizing your flag bunting is a great way to personalize it just for your apartments. It comes in triangular and rectangular shapes, and it can be customized with your property management logo, company name, messages of welcome, and much more.

If you’re a property manager who is tired of people walking right past your leasing office or apartment building without a second glance, it’s time to take your advertising campaign to the next level. Command attention with one or more of the flags on this list and we guarantee you’ll book more property tours!
