Marketing:
Advertising is constantly monitored through weekly reports. We track the total amount of leads and closes per advertising expenditures. By doing this we are able to project the actual ROI on each of our advertising expenditures. With this information we are able to eliminate wasted advertising dollars and invest them in the methods that are the most effective. Recently we’ve been able to drastically cut costs by utilizing free on-line advertising while still increasing our total amount of leads.
Through monthly property inspections we ensure that our market-ready units will show well to prospective residents. We ensure that the curb appeal is exceptional to gain leads from drive-by traffic. All BMSI employees are trained to work towards this goal and are able to enjoy pride in their work and property.
To ensure that our rates are competitive we conduct monthly market surveys tracking our competitor’s rates and move-in specials. We also continually track our communities’ closing percentages to make sure our rates and specials remain competitive.
