Summer Resident Reminder Notices

We know summer gets busy, so we’ve made it easier to stay proactive and keep your community informed. This month, Spark includes your resident newsletter AND three ready-to-use reminder notices to help you communicate clearly and kindly with your residents:

  1. Things are Heating Up - And So Are Smells

    A gentle but important reminder for pet owners to pick up after their pets and keep them on leashes.

  2. General Summer Heat Safety

    Tips to keep cool, hydrated, and aware during those blazing summer days.

  3. 4th of July Office Closure

    Let residents know your holiday hours with a festive, professional heads-up.

Each notice is easy to print, post, or send digitally—so you can focus on resident care without reinventing the wheel.

 

How to Make Your Newsletter Engaging & Easy

A well-crafted resident newsletter keeps your community informed, engaged, and excited about living at your property. With your Sprout Canva templates, creating your spring edition is as simple as drag, drop, and customize. Here’s how to make it stand out while keeping it effortless.

Step 1: Customize the Template with Key Community Info

Start by plugging in your important updates, such as:

  1. Rent reminders or office closures (like Memorial Day)

  2. Upcoming community events (bbq’s, pool openings, resident appreciation days)

  3. Maintenance tips (AC filter changes, pest prevention before summer)

Step 2: Add Fun & Engaging Extras

Don’t make it all about policies—add something fun to make residents want to read it! Consider including:

  1. A Resident or Pet Spotlight – Feature a friendly neighbor or a beloved community pet

  2. Local Highlights – List nearby farmers' markets, food festivals, or best outdoor dining spots

  3. Poll or Trivia Question – Engage residents with a simple poll (e.g., “What’s your favorite summer activity?”) or a fun fact

  4. Recipe or DIY Tip – Share an easy summer recipe or apartment-friendly decorating tip

  5. Exclusive Perks – Promote any resident-only deals with local businesses

Step 3: Make It Interactive & Easy to Access

  1. Include a QR Code – Link to your social media, resident portal, or event RSVP

  2. Keep It Visual – Use photos, bright headers, and icons to break up text

  3. Add a Call-to-Action – Encourage engagement with a simple CTA like “Tag us on Instagram if you attend this month’s event!”
