The Situation

A 272-unit luxury apartment community in Grand Prairie, TX, was only 38.97% leased at the start of 2025. The property faced two major challenges: ongoing evictions and move-outs, and operating in a competitive Dallas–Fort Worth market where luxury communities compete aggressively for renters. The property’s marketing team partnered with Conversion Logix® to reverse the trend and accelerate occupancy growth.

The Solution

Conversion Logix deployed a diversified full-funnel strategy to increase awareness, nurture prospects, and drive conversions. The campaign mix included Paid Search, YouTube, Paid Social, Display, SEO, GBP Accelerator, and The Conversion Cloud®.

To further strengthen performance, the team added Precision Mobile Targeting Plus in March (one month after launch).

Despite the headwinds of evictions and a crowded luxury market, this $5,000/mo strategy enabled the community to grow occupancy to 60–65% within six months.

The Strategy

Our team executed a multichannel campaign to build awareness, re-engage interested renters, and convert them into qualified leads. YouTube and Paid Search introduced the community to the market, Display and Social campaigns kept the property top-of-mind, and The Conversion Cloud® applications captured and converted renter interest. Adding Precision Mobile Targeting Plus in March expanded reach and reinforced performance, helping the property overcome ongoing move-outs and lease churn.
