Let's start at the beginning!

Common Communication Challenges for Multifamily Agents

Keeping residents informed isn’t always easy, especially when onsite teams are juggling multiple responsibilities. Without the right tools, communication can become a challenge, making it harder to keep residents engaged and connected to their community.

Here are some of the biggest challenges multifamily agents face when updating residents and how these roadblocks can impact engagement and satisfaction:

  • Lack of Time to Send Community Updates: Onsite teams are often overwhelmed with various tasks and responsibilities, leaving little time for consistent and effective communication with residents. This can lead to missed opportunities to engage and inform residents about community updates.
  • Lack of Marketing Resources for Onsite Teams: Many agents don’t have access to dedicated marketing resources, making it harder to craft professional, on-brand messages. Without the right tools, communication can feel disjointed and inconsistent.
  • Lack of Streamlined Approval Process: Agents have to face a prolonged approval process involving multiple rounds of feedback and coordination with stakeholders. This tedious process can cause delays, leading to confusion about approved materials and potential mistakes in messaging.

3 Ways Hayley Blasts Helps Marketers in Updating Residents

Hayley Blasts helps multifamily marketers simplify their communication efforts and achieve the following benefits:

  • Efficient Brand Control with Simplified Approvals: By simplifying the approval processes, it empowers them to engage with residents professionally while maintaining brand consistency and compliance.
  • Keeps Residents Informed with Branded Updates: Ensures that residents receive timely and relevant information about their community, enhancing their sense of belonging and fostering stronger relationships with the onsite team.

How does Resident Blasts help Enhance Resident Engagement?

Multifamily property management teams rely on Resident Updates to share essential community information, announce events, highlight new amenities, or gather feedback. These updates keep residents informed and strengthen their community connection, leading to increased satisfaction and retention.

That’s where the Resident Blasts Experience from Hayley Marketing Automation steps in. It simplifies communication, making it easy for property teams to keep residents engaged and informed.

The Resident Blasts Experience is designed to be user-friendly and can be deployed and run with ease. The marketers only need to provide their brand guidelines, and the Hyly.AI team will take care of the rest. The platform’s intuitive WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) system allows agents to create and send updates with minimal effort.

Now, let’s get into the key features of Resident Blasts and the advantages it offers to agents, marketers, and residents.

Easy Customization of Pre-Designed Templates

Creating captivating and informative updates for your residents is made effortless with Resident Blasts.

1. Choose from Pre-Existing Templates

Selecting the perfect template for your update is just a click away. Resident Blasts offers a variety of pre-designed templates that align with your brand messaging, saving you the time and effort of creating resident updates from scratch.

By eliminating unnecessary complexities, this feature saves you valuable time and energy, empowering you to focus on crafting engaging messaging that resonates with your audience.

2. Modify and Preview the Final Version

With Hayley Blasts, you can create visually stunning resident updates that capture the attention of your residents.

In the user-friendly editor, you can easily modify the update in the actual email format. Customize fields such as the Update Title, Subject, Preheader, Attach a PDF file, Email Title, Image, Subtitle, and Body with ease.

The intuitive customization options allow you to tailor the template to fit your specific needs. This helps to keep the residents informed, engaged, and satisfied with updates that deliver relevant and compelling information in an appealing format.

Efficient Management of Resident Updates with Calendar

Efficiently managing updates for residents is crucial for property managers. With Hayley Blasts Calendar, property managers can streamline the resident update activities and ensure that they stay on top of their communication efforts.

1. Streamlining Resident Update Activities

The Calendar provides a comprehensive snapshot of all resident updates in different stages, such as in draft, scheduled, sent for approval, and those that have already been sent.

2. Customized Views and Notifications

Another useful aspect of the Calendar is that it allows users to filter updates according to their status. Property managers can easily locate drafts, scheduled updates, and those that have been sent or sent for approval.

The flexibility to customize views and check approval requests ensures that property managers efficiently manage their resident update activities.

Additionally, the notifications icon at the top right corner provides easy access to critical updates and approval requests, keeping property managers informed.

Quick and Easy Approval Process

A well-designed approval process can save time and reduce confusion, ensuring that only the necessary stakeholders are involved.

1. Setting up an Efficient Approval Process

In the Resident Blasts Experience, admins can customize the approval process by designating specific approvers and identifying agents who don’t require approval. This flexibility helps to ensure that the approval process is tailored to the needs of each team.

2. Easy Approval, Disapproval, and Feedback

Once the approval process is set up, approvers can easily approve or disapprove an update with just a few clicks. This streamlined process saves time and reduces delays in communication.

In case of disapproval, valuable feedback can be provided to the agent to improve their future updates.

Alternatively, the approver can choose to edit the update themselves and save the changes before approving it. This feature ensures that communication materials meet the required standards before they are sent out to residents, resulting in clear and effective messaging.

Data-driven Insights by Detailed Reports

The Reports enable the team to analyze data and gain insights into their communication campaigns.

The “By Blast” Report provides a structured and presentable format, with detailed breakdowns of each update’s analytics.

The report includes important metrics such as:

  • Unique Sends: The total number of emails sent to individual recipients.
  • Unique Opens: The percentage and number of recipients who opened the email.
  • Unique Clicks: The percentage and number of recipients who clicked on a link within the email.
  • Unsubscribe Rate: The percentage and number of recipients who opted out of receiving future emails.
  • Bounce Rate: The percentage and number of emails that were undeliverable and returned to the sender.

With this information, the team can quickly identify which updates are most effective and make data-driven decisions to improve their communication campaigns.
