Make the Most of Peak Leasing Season: 4 Ways to Boost Your Digital Marketing Strategy

Summer is the busiest time of year for multifamily leasing - and the most competitive. As more renters search for their next home, multifamily marketers have a limited window to capture attention, generate qualified leads, and convert interest into leases.

To make the most of this seasonal surge, your digital marketing can’t just check the box - it has to work smarter, faster, and more effectively than ever. Here’s how you can ensure your strategy is built for peak performance:

1. Target Renters Where They’re Searching

In-market renters are actively browsing search engines, social media platforms, and a growing number of research tools (including AI!). That means your campaigns need to meet them where they are - with precision. Use geo-targeting, hyper-efficient audience signals, and keyword strategies to zero in on the renters most likely to convert.

2. Stand Out in a Crowded Market

With more properties advertising during peak season, your ads have to rise above the noise. Prioritize ad creative that highlights your property’s unique value—think strong headlines, clear offers, and localized messaging that speaks to the renter’s lifestyle and needs. Your agency needs to have deep and customized understanding of the unique value of each individual property.

3. Leverage High-Impact Creative

Dynamic visuals like video tours, animated banners, and interactive content help drive engagement and keep your property top-of-mind. Not only do they showcase your units more effectively, but they also provide a richer experience that can increase time spent with your brand.

4. Track and Optimize in Real Time

What worked last month may not work this week. Real-time performance reporting allows you to monitor campaign results and pivot fast. Double down on what’s delivering leads, and reallocate budget from channels or messages that aren’t.

The Takeaway

Peak leasing season is a high-stakes game for multifamily marketers—but with the right digital marketing strategy, it’s also a major opportunity. Make sure your partners are thinking about efficient targeting, relentless optimization, and deeply customized ad content that highlights the unique value of each property in your portfolio.
