There’s just so much GREAT material out there! I’ve decided to do a series called “OF Interest…” to link to all the interesting things I’m seeing out there in the industry – or in general. Some things might be oldies – but goodies. Some things are NEW. One might be funny. Two might be great tips. There might be an inspirational piece or two stuck in the bunch. It’s probably not what you’re looking for, but it just *might* be EXACTLY what you need.
Shall we begin?
OF Interest—November 1st, 2011
1. Craigslist Posting Discoveries - very interesting tidbits. For anyone who keeps telling me that craigslist is all spam – it’s not, and it works. Mark Juleen has the analytics to back it up. I love that Mark Juleen says, “Post often, measure the crap out of it, and you can be successful.” So true, so true!
2. Apartmentratings.com: Know the Game You’re Playing – ever wonder how the scores work on apartmentratings.com? Well wonder no more. KNOW MORE. Laurel Zacher gives us hope – the more recent reviews carry more weight or “points” than older reviews.
3.) While we’re on the topic of ratings, here’s a recent rating that someone left for Courtyard Austin Downtown Convention Center, subject is “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!” What I am most impressed with is the manager’s response. Well written and positive. I’m sure they will continue to be top rated with this kind of attention to detail AND positive response to criticism! Thank you to Tiffani McCoy for pointing this out!
4. Pearl the Landlord – oldie but goodie. When I need a laugh, this is my goto. Sometimes, I wish I were a kid again so that I can yell and scream when I don’t get what I want. Oh wait, I still do that. But not at people, at the TV folks. Hey – I’m a professional!
5.) Marketing Your Community to Pet Lovers – If you’re not already a fan of Charity Hisle, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? This blog post if FULL FULL FULL of great tips. Did I mention it is FULL OF GREAT TIPS? I especially love the tip of PET QR TAGS. No joke! But when you think about it, GENIUS!
6.) For all you round pegs in square holes – some inspiration and KNOW that you are not alone. Gaping Void’s ode to Steve Jobs.
