As we near the end of 2023, many homeowners associations (HOAs) are looking for new ways to increase engagement and boost business in the new year. However, it can feel daunting to get homeowners involved, especially when you don’t clearly understand how to do it! Luckily, there are plenty of ways to boost engagement with your homeowners, build lasting relationships, and even gain referral traffic from your trusted connections.
Continue reading to explore the best methods to encourage homeowners to participate in your HOA Board.
Solicit Feedback
One of the best ways to gain more homeowner engagement in your community is through increased input in important decisions. Consider how you can make involvement worthwhile for your homeowners, such as listening to feedback at association meetings on issues important to the community. Incorporate these comments into the decision-making process, and you will be surprised at the spike in homeowner involvement in the future!
Establish Communication Channels
Clear communication channels are key to a successfully engaged HOA community. This kind of communication can look like a community website, certain social media platforms, a dedicated app, or even a weekly newsletter that enriches the community and encourages homeowners to respond. Ensure that these channels are well-established and easily accessible to the community.
Host Enticing Events
Homeowners respond to an exciting environment where they feel appreciated and welcomed. HOAs can help foster this atmosphere by organizing enticing events such as holiday parties, pool potlucks, and barbecues. Encourage homeowners to not only attend these events but to get involved in the party planning process to ensure that their wants and needs are implemented!
