Post a Video Tour
Posting a video tour can go a long way. Video tour videos have longevity because you can post them over and over again. However, video tours should be posted once a month to avoid burning out the content.
Use a drone to get aerial shots to get stunning shots of the apartment building. Also, this is a great way to show off the amenities, including nearby restaurants and parks. Additionally, up close shots of the community’s amenities will garner the interest of viewers. As you know, available amenities have a great influence on deciding between apartments. You can also make sure that your unit looks fully furnished to give viewers an idea of how spacious the place actually is.
Post a Lifestyle Video
Lifestyle videos are great for showing off your apartment and surrounding area, as well as giving people an idea of what it’s like to live there. You can post a video of a person enjoying your apartment, cooking in the kitchen, relaxing on the couch, or working at a desk. Using a person within a video activates the space you are trying to market. On top of that, it enables a person to try an visualize themselves living within the community.
Post a Reel
For those of you who don’t know, a reel is a short video that showcases your work. It can be made in any video editing software or a mobile application. However, hiring a social media agency to develop a professionally made video is best. On the other hand, producing your own reel out of cellphone shots works as well. Alternatively, using user-generated content, content produced by your current residents is a great way to share video content. Ideally, you want to get permission from the owner of the content and also ask if it’s okay to tag them when reposting the content. Consistently posting reels will enable more viwers to quickly see your video content, adding more interest to your profile.
Post a Carousel
People always want to see more! A carousel is a series of images that viewers can scroll through, almost like a gallery. On Instagram or Facebook, it’s good practice to post multiple sets of images to provide a more in-depth look at an apartment building. It’s an excellent way to showcase your apartment and its features, as well as the building itself. You can use a carousel to highlight different aspects of your apartment–the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms–as well as what makes the building special (e.g., a pool).
