Members of the Multifamily Sharespace Facebook Group shared some of their ideas: A sham-rock hunt! Spray paint easily visible sized rocks green, have your office and service team hide them on property. As residents find them, encourage them to turn them in as a chance to win a surprise at the end of the week. As soon as rocks are turned in they can be recycled and put back out for more opportunities. On small and large communities I have had great success with this event with hundreds of found rocks and thereby hundreds of positive points of resident contact. I usually start with about 30 rocks and place them is relatively easy places to be found, but it’s always fun to hide a few more difficult ones. -Erik Husa Top...

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with your residents by giving away up to $50 off April’s rent for the first 10 residents that walk through the door with the best green outfit. Decorate the party space with bells and white calla lilies. The Bells of Ireland bring good luck and the lilies represent beauty. For simple, easy and effective decorations make green shamrocks. Here are a couple templates you can use for decorations. (Click on images for full size templates) Of course wear green. Have some spare green items of clothing available for any guests who might have forgotten to come dressed in green. Even green party hats, party wigs, or party glasses can green them up a bit for the occasion! ...
