The Leasing Campaign Framework: six stages

Hook, land, answer, tour, follow up, lease and review. What happens at each stage, and why.

Every campaign we run follows the same six stages. Each one fixes a specific way leads get lost.

"They texted me back in seconds on a Tuesday night. Toured Saturday, signed Wednesday."

Measured to the lease. Then a review.Reviews are the next renter's proof. Sample numbers shown.
01

Hook

Why: People scroll fast and decide in about a second. A clear price and a real photo beat a clever video with people who don't know you yet.

How: Simple static ads with one real photo, the all-in price and the special. Run them in Meta's Housing category. Save video for retargeting and the site.

02

Land

Why: Most renters compare 3 to 4 sites and pick a neighborhood before a building. Make your page the easy one to say yes to.

How: Send ads to a leasing site, not the homepage: one property, one offer, every fee in the price, and always a next step.

03

Answer

Why: Renters shop several places at once. Many properties still take 2 to 8 hours to reply, and the first good answer usually gets the tour.

How: Reply within minutes, 24/7, by text, email and chat. A missed call gets a text back in seconds.

04

Tour

Why: A booked tour still has to happen. People forget, and life gets in the way.

How: Instant confirmation by text, a reminder the day before and another 2 hours out. A no-show gets a one-tap rebook.

05

Follow up

Why: Most people don't decide on the first visit, and silence feels like a no.

How: A short sequence after the tour, with the home they liked and a link to hold it. It stops the second a person replies.

06

Lease + review

Why: You can't improve what you don't measure, and the next renter trusts reviews more than ads.

How: Track every lead to the signed lease, tell Meta who leased, and ask every new resident for a review.

Two layers under every stage

The rules

Fair housing words and images, the Housing ad category, texting consent, email law, all-in pricing and honest AI, built into every template.

The numbers

Every lead, reply, tour and lease lands in Manager View, so you see exactly what the campaign did.

Most numbers in leasing come from vendors, so we treat them as directional and link every source.
