Giving back to your community is one of the most rewarding things you can do as a property manager. Bringing in your colleagues and tenants onboard can also be a bonding experience, giving your community the chance to come together over a good deed. Not sure how to ensure your food drive is successful? No worries. Cal Bay Property Management's Scott Safadi has the tips you need to guarantee a fun, productive time is had by all.
Tip 1: Location, Location, Location Just like in the real estate world, location is everything when it comes to food drives. To be successful, you'll want to pick a high traffic, highly visible spot to advertise your food drive and collect. If you store packages in your offices, consider keeping a food collection spot nearby. As folks receive packages in the mail for Christmas, they'll definitely be more inclined to contribute to the food drive on their way to pick up their mail! Tip 2: Create Competition Americans love to root for their home team, so consider turning the food drive into a fun competition. In a multi-family community, designate drop off spots for each floor or building. Be sure to track the contributions and send out communications to your residents to drum up the competition. You don't even necessarily need to award a prize to the winning team - the competition alone is enough of a game to get everyone excited and contributing! Tip 3: End on a Happy Note Don't just take donations from folks and disappear. Instead, snap some photos of the food donations and tally up just how much was contributed by the tenants and staff. Send out the details in an email thanking everyone for their participation. Even if you only collected a small portion of food, the photos and follow-up email can help you garner support for next year's collection. - Scott Safadi, Cal Bay Property Management
