During our LinkedIn Live session, Carla and Lia explained the differences between zero-party, first-party, second-party, and third-party data, and discussed when multifamily properties might utilize each type. We talked about how data is revolutionizing the targeting of potential residents, making marketing efforts more precise and effective. We also touched on how qualitative research can help pinpoint the root cause of issues like declining resident satisfaction survey scores, providing deeper insights into resident needs and preferences, and they shared examples of how multifamily properties have successfully used marketing research and analytics to achieve their goals.
Carla and Lia shared invaluable insights on leveraging different types of data to enhance marketing precision and effectiveness in multifamily housing. Their passion for their work is evident, and I am proud to see them continue to excel and make a significant impact in the industry.
