Want to turn these fun March Resident Event Ideas into a built-in resident referral strategy? Encourage residents to bring a friend, coworker, or family member who might be looking for a new place to live! Whether it’s a Yappy Hour, Plant & Sip, or Game Night, making events social helps create a warm, welcoming atmosphere—while casually showcasing your community. Consider offering a small incentive (like an entry into a giveaway or a perk for referring a new neighbor) to keep the excitement going. The more people experience the fun, the more likely they are to envision themselves living here!
