Marketing Built for the Resident Journey
A large North American property management group managing thousands of residential units saw an opportunity to transform its marketing approach from transactional to lifecycle-based.
Fragmented tools and manual processes made it difficult to deliver timely, coordinated messaging across leasing, onboarding, and retention touchpoints.
Problem
Marketing efforts were reactive—mostly one-off emails sent after a lead came in or a lease was signed. With no central system to coordinate messaging across the resident lifecycle, prospects and tenants received inconsistent outreach, and teams spent too much time creating manual campaigns. Legacy tools weren’t flexible enough to scale, personalize, or integrate with leasing and CRM systems, leaving opportunities for engagement—and retention—on the table.
Process
In partnership with Fortimize, the property management team began a strategic rollout of Salesforce Marketing Cloud, designed to deliver personalized, timely engagement from lead to renewal. As a first step, Salesforce Email Studio was implemented to reduce manual effort and bring marketing operations closer to the CRM. The long-term roadmap included consolidating all campaign efforts within Salesforce, unifying marketing with leasing workflows, and sunsetting outdated systems.
Results
By aligning marketing automation with the new CRM and leasing framework, they created a repeatable, brand-consistent resident journey designed to drive loyalty and increase lifetime value.
