DAILY FOOD CELEBRATIONS
Daily food celebrations are a fab, easy and affordable way to connect with residents. They are perfect for grab 'n go's, party themes, WOW fridges, outreach marketing, renewal gifts, resident referral gifts and social media contests. If it is creative ice cream flavor day (July 1), ask residents to vote for their faves and serve it (or several kinds) at an ice cream party. If it is Freezer Pop Day (July 8), stock your freezer AND treat residents to concierge-style poolside pop deliveries! If it is a Cocktail Day (several this month), invite residents to stop by after work for a Happy Hour, hire a mixologist to teach residents how to make a cocktail or share a "how to" cocktail video with your team mixing up a yummy concoction in one of your open apartments.
