Hit the Target,
But it’s not a
Magic Bullet!

2. Social media is
here to stay.
So lets talk about…
o Who doesn’t use social media
o Building communities
o Emergencies!
o Taking control of your
communications
3. WHO DOESN’T LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA?
Not everyone is active
in social networking!
A 2012 study showed only 56% of Americans (12 and older)
had a social networking profile.
4. That’s a lot of people using
Social media…
And it’s a lot of people – a lot of adults – who
are not.
It’s likely that not all your residents
use social media networking.
5. IT’S ABOUT BUILDING A COMMUNITY
Good point!
Especially for those responsible
for managing real communities.
But don’t let “social” and “community” misdirect your efforts!

The top three factors
Influencing retention..
1. Quality of maintenance services
2. Safety and security

All thee services are directly
related to the quality of your
resident communications.
Interesting note:
“Community having a
social media page”
ranked as one of the
least important.

911
But did you know…
Social media came through
during Hurricane Sandy
when 911 lines were
overwhelmed?
Emergencies!
Victims and rescue organizations employed social media to connect.
People who were prepared to use it, benefited from it.
