Bilt Launches Resident Loyalty 2.0
Bilt, an innovative payments and rewards platform, is making waves in the property management sector with the launch of Resident Loyalty 2.0. This updated program aims to radically improve how properties enhance leasing success and engage residents. With rapid adoption among top property managers, Bilt is already being used by over 70% of the major players in the industry.
Transforming Leasing Strategies
This new platform not only retains the foundational strengths of Bilt but also introduces compelling enhancements that enable property managers to achieve immediate value. Through Bilt, property managers can integrate their existing incentives and concessions, experiencing cost reductions of up to 20%. This integration significantly speeds up lease decisions, leading to a happier resident experience.
According to David Wyler, Chief Business Officer of Bilt Rewards, the platform simplifies the process of achieving better outcomes from current investments in leasing and engagement. It allows property managers to maintain their existing workflows while enjoying substantial performance improvements.
Immediate Benefits for Property Managers
Evidence shows that property managers who use Bilt for their standard leasing initiatives, which may include traditional rent concessions and gift cards, are witnessing remarkable results:
- Cost savings range between 5% and 20%
- Lease decisions are expedited by four weeks, or more
- Upgrade in renewal rates by up to 20%, threefold increases in early rent payments, and a 10% boost in referral volumes
The key to these enhancements lies in the rewards ecosystem that Bilt provides. Residents are not limited to conventional cash-based incentives; instead, they gain access to high-value Bilt Points and a suite of neighborhood benefits. This collaboration enables residents to select rewards that resonate more closely with their lifestyle—be it dining out at local eateries, securing fitness classes, or booking their travel adventures with leading airlines. By choosing reward options, residents often receive greater value, while properties can reduce their spending, resulting in mutual benefits.
Margette Hepfner, COO of Willow Bridge Property Company, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Bilt, highlighting how it adds significant value for residents through tailored rewards and experiences. The positive reception of this program reinforces its capacity to enhance the leasing journey and cultivate vibrant community connections.
Dynamic Resident Engagement
Bilt's platform empowers property managers to transform conventional resident engagement initiatives into dynamic loyalty programs. The platform eliminates the hassle of managing multiple vendor partnerships. Now, property managers can effortlessly create and automate personalized reward packages for residents, whether for welcome gifts, move-in specials, or other occasions.
