40 Social Media Post Ideas for Apartment Communities

My apologies for this being the longest post in my blogging history, but you will thank me in the end. I normally preach short blogging, but the simple format should make it easy to extract the information you want. 

-Remember your objectives. Help prospects come to the best property in the area, reduce costs... It is ok to post about water & energy conservation and such. You will be surprised at the outcome of awareness. 

-Some posts created for one platform such as Facebook, may not be right for another platform.  So, use the following apartment community social media posting guide and let me know if you have any struggles with your campaign. 

-Post updates frequently, but right for the platform. For example, post to Facebook 3-5 times per week. No more, no less. Hubspot reported pages under 10k followers experiences a 50% drop in engagement per post if they posted more than once per day. 

Ideas for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest Posting

Post updates frequently, but right for the platform. Post on Facebook 3-5 times per week. No more, no less. Hubspot reported pages under 10k followers experienced a 50% drop in engagement per post if they posted more than once per day. See my blog post on this subject for other platforms.
