Increase Tenant Retention
Resident turnover is costly.
It takes an average of 18 months to recoup the cost of losing a resident.
Residents who know their neighbors are more likely to stay in their current apartment.
Residents consistently name “a sense of belonging” as a major factor in their decision to renew their lease.
Partnering with Sidekick will help you increase tenant retention.
Sidekick connects users online through shared interests so they can meet offline, in person, to make new friends and new memories.
Sidekick is your key to building a social network within your apartment complex that will make current residents want to stay and new residents want to move in.
Our mobile app is designed:
to help residents find their people and engage in their community based on their shared interests.
to give marketing and retention personnel a way to get the word out about activities and upcoming events.
to give apartment managers a window into campus trends and a sense of the overall health of the community.
Sidekick can serve as a hub for social life, both organized and one-on-one, wherever your tenants live, work and study. We put it all together in one place. Sidekick is your residents’ dashboard for friendship and fun.
Our app encourages residents to make new friends by sharing the interests they have in common. As you know, the best way for tenants to make meaningful connections is to get off their devices, out of their rooms, and into the real world – together.
That’s what makes Sidekick different from all of the social media sites that are designed to hook users and keep them online for as long as possible. We believe that online relationships can never substitute for the depth and impact of real-world connections.
Sidekick’s app provides apartment residents with a safe way to communicate that eliminates the toxicity of social media. No more photoshopped pictures, follower counts, likes and dislikes, imposters, and negative comments. Friendship isn’t a competition.
Sidekick is looking to partner with thought leaders to complete the design and testing of our social catalyst app. We need your help in order to reimagine the online world.
