Tenant Appreciation This Holiday Season

The holidays are rapidly approaching and whether you are a condo property management company, industrial property management company, retail property management company, or really any type of property management company, you are probably wondering what you can get your tenants as a holiday gift.  Showing appreciation for your tenants is always a good gesture to keep tenants happy, so the small gift is well worth it.  Here are a few ideas:

1- Decorate:  Why not bring a little holiday cheer to your rental properties and surprise your tenants with holiday decorations.  No need to go overboard, but a simple strand of beautiful outdoor lights could make for a very simple way to show your tenants that you appreciate them and want to help them celebrate the holidays.

2- Holiday Cards: A simple holiday greeting card is a great way to show your tenants you appreciate them this holiday season.  If your property management company has a logo and branding a holiday card would be a great way to incorporate that in.  Why not get a little marketing involved!

3- Gift Cards: A gift card is another great gift for tenants during the holidays.  Who wouldn't enjoy a gift card to a restaurant or store?  Whether it's a gift card for Jewel, Target, or the local pizza place, almost everyone can find a use for a gift card. For a property management company, gift cards are an easy gift to give to tenants.

4- Rent Discount: Consider giving your tenants a slight rent discount during the holiday season.  A rent discount is another easy gift idea for any property management company.  This is something all tenants are sure to appreciate during the holiday season.

5- Upgrades: Perhaps you are a property management company with only a few rental properties under your belt, then perhaps giving your tenants an upgrade is a good option.  It doesn't have to be an extravagant upgrade, it can be something as simple as new window treatments or a new ceiling fan.  Something more expensive such as a dishwasher, stove or refrigerator could be a good gift if you have found yourself having to repair those appliances for multiple tenants.
