Ryder on Olive, High Bridge Properties
Ryder on Olive is a private off-campus housing community in the University of California (UC) Davis market. Asset Living paired with partner Poetic during the pandemic, to introduce a new way for prospects to tour that would enable leasing during a time when in person tours were not possible.
Challenges
UC Davis, located in Davis, CA, went fully remote in March 2020 and did not return for over 18 months. During this time, student housing properties were having to pivot their leasing strategies to continue leasing while students were not there in person.
- California Privacy Laws
- Targeting Key Demographic During the Pandemic
- Fully Remote Due to the Pandemic
Our Approach
Digital marketing was an effective way to reach students in a fully remote environment.
In May of 2021, Asset Living and Poetic collaborated to develop a strategy to provide students with a much more interactive experience online and delivered new and innovative ads to capture students’ attention, no matter their location.
Due to the lack of physical presence of students around campus and in Davis, CA, during leasing season, Ryder’s digital marketing strategy focused on four core targeting strategies.
- Google AdWords Campaign
- Social Media Targeting
- Look-A-Like Audiences
- Virtual Reality Ads
The Results
- Preleased from 30% to 99%
- 9.93K Ad Clicks
- 13.6% Click Through Rate on Ads
