Problem

Consumers are buying more and more based on content.

Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have turned creating content and curating audiences into an opportunity to directly market products and services. Social commerce is growing quickly from a $492 Billion market in 2022 to an expected $1.2 Trillion market in 2025.

Landlords are disconnected from the mobile & social Renter.

Existing platforms have yet to adapt to fit new Renter behaviors and expectations, such as viewing mobile videos and smart recommendations. Landlords are continuing to miss out on potential tenants who expect a modern experience.

Real Estate professionals seek modern alternatives.

The pandemic has shown the enormous potential for content marketing as the Creator Economy grows, especially in Real Estate.

Product

Marketing real estate to the modern, mobile Renter.

April works with local Content Creators to market apartments through engaging video walkthroughs and personalization. Landlords benefit from much higher exposure and greater content performance, which translates into more leads for those units and their portfolios.

____________________

The flywheel behind next-gen Real Estate marketing.

April connects Creators with vacant real estate that needs to be marketed. April Creators post engaging content about the properties, which drives leads for April Partners. As properties get more leads and more exposure, Partners add more units to be marketed through April. Those new units result in more content marketing opportunities for April Creators.

Content Creators bring trust and curation to Real Estate.

Content Creators breathe new life into Real Estate marketing by personalizing the discovery process and making recommendations that their followers trust. Our creators come from a diverse array of backgrounds and content genres, adding a unique and exciting new dimension to the Real Estate content they produce and the apartment hunting experience for potential Renters.
