HELP!!! Need tenants! Anybody use creative strategies?!

[Kelby K.]

Hey all, We have three 4 bedroom/4 bathroom units near a college campus that we need to rent out ASAP! We need to find creative ways to get our property in front of students/realtors as most tenants search the Internet and although our property is approximately one mile from campus it does not appear in searches when looking in the specific city because it is actually in a different city! Many students have already signed their leases for next fall and are away for the summer. I'm willing to invest in marketing and get creative. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!

I know this is the internet age but have you thought about doing some old school advertising? go to the school admissions office and see if they have a board you can post some flyers up on, talk to the admissions people and explain what your offering. If for nothing more than to put that bug in their head, maybe they will send some people over to look at your flyer. Just for good measure I would post a few more flyers around campus at the different dorms and event places. I would do this again at the end of each semester as well since typically that's when college kids will start planning where they are gonna live next year.
