If you’re a property manager who has invested in creating long-form videos—webinars, educational sessions, leasing walkthroughs, or even owner FAQs—you may be sitting on an untapped marketing asset. Most property management companies post a video once, maybe link it in a newsletter or share it on Facebook, and then move on. But what if that one video could generate dozens of additional touchpoints with potential property owners?
That’s where content repurposing comes in. By transforming long-form videos into short-form clips optimized for social platforms, you can maximize your reach, increase engagement, and most importantly—get more owner leads.
This strategy isn’t just a smart way to stretch your content budget. It’s a foundational tactic in effective property management marketing, one that can keep your brand visible across the digital landscape while reinforcing your authority and expertise.
Why Short-Form Video Is Essential for Property Managers in 2025 and Beyond
Short-form video is no longer a fad. It’s the primary way audiences consume content online. Platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook are engineered to favor bite-sized video content that is easy to digest and fun to engage with.
Instagram Will Now Help SEO
Starting July 10th, 2025, all public content from professional Instagram accounts will become eligible to appear in search engine results by default. This is a game-changer for property management companies: your short-form content will not only help you get discovered in-app, but it will also boost your brand’s visibility beyond your website, creating additional paths for prospective owners to find you through Google search and other engines.
Why should property management businesses care?
Average Touchpoints per Sale by Industry
In the table, see the average number of touchpoints needed to make a sale, aggregated by industry.
| Industry | Touchpoints Needed per Sale |
|---|---|
| Janitorial and Cleaning Services | 4.83 |
| Office Supplies and Equipment | 6.89 |
| Printing and Publishing Services | 8.94 |
| Food and Beverage Distribution | 10.81 |
| Wholesale Distribution | 12.82 |
| Event Planning and Management Services | 14.81 |
| Business Services (HR, Payroll, Marketing) | 16.90 |
| Facility Management Services | 18.83 |
| Security Systems and Services | 20.92 |
| Training and Development Services | 22.82 |
| Consulting Services | 24.88 |
| Logistics and Transportation | 26.93 |
| Real Estate Services | 28.97 |
| Agricultural Equipment and Supplies | 30.84 |
| Insurance | 32.93 |
| Energy Solutions | 34.83 |
This data presents us with three core ideas:
- Transactional purchases that require minimal research (e.g., janitorial services, office supplies) require fewer touchpoints.
- Products and services requiring a level of trust and consultation before committing (e.g., business services, logistics) will typically require more interactions.
- Industries with complex buying cycles, regulatory approvals, and multi-decision-maker involvement (e.g., industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals) require the most touchpoints. Touchpoints in this situation may mean the review of documentation, procurement processes, technical evaluations, product demonstrations, regulatory submissions, risk assessments, and extended vendor due diligence before a final purchasing decision is made.
The big idea: Industries in which the consequences for making the wrong decision are lower require fewer touchpoints.
According to recent data (Source: https://focus-digital.co/average-touchpoints-per-purchase-by-industry/), real estate-related decisions require an average of 28.97 touchpoints per sale. While this data is specific to the real estate industry, property management services are equally—if not more—complex, often requiring a higher degree of trust and credibility. Unlike one-time real estate transactions, property management involves long-term relationships and legal responsibilities that impact both owners and tenants. That means building trust takes time, consistency, and visibility across multiple channels.
Utilizing short-form videos provides the following benefits:
- More visibility among property owners who weren’t actively searching for your services.
- More engagement from prospects who are already following you or visiting your property management website.
- More touchpoints throughout the owner buying journey—whether they’re casually browsing or actively seeking help.
How Content Marketing Supports SEO and Owner Lead Generation
Let’s connect the dots between long-form content, short-form video, and your property management lead generation goals:
- Long-form video and blogs fuel your SEO. These are the types of content that help your website rank when a property owner searches for answers like “should I hire a property manager?” or “what does a property management company do?”
- Short-form video increases brand awareness and adds repeat touchpoints. These clips show up on social platforms even when people aren’t searching for you, helping you stay visible between searches.
Together, they create a content ecosystem that captures attention at every stage of the owner journey.
The more complicated the service, the more education is needed. A smart content marketing strategy ensures that by the time a lead lands on your property management website, they already trust your brand.
Why Repurposing Content Makes Sense for Property Management Marketing
Repurposing content isn’t just efficient—it’s effective. Here are five clear benefits for property managers:
1. Get Discovered by Owners Who Don’t Know You Yet
Algorithms on platforms like Instagram and TikTok are designed to introduce content to new users, not just your followers. And with Instagram content now appearing in search results, your short-form content has the potential to rank alongside your property management blogs and website pages.
2. Support Your Owner Lead Generation Strategy
Each video clip becomes a new entry point to your brand. Combined with calls-to-action that lead viewers to your property management website or a landing page, these clips can support a measurable owner lead generation funnel.
3. Stretch the Value of Your Content Marketing
Instead of constantly filming new videos, you can reuse and recycle your best-performing content. One 10-minute video can yield five or more short clips, depending on the variety of topics covered throughout the video. Each clip can be edited to highlight different insights or datapoints that are relevant to the types of property owners you want to target.
4. Increase Engagement with Minimal Time Investment
Short videos are easy to watch and share. They lower the barrier to engagement and are more likely to be viewed in full. This boosts your content performance and expands reach organically.
5. Maintain Consistency Without Burnout
Consistency is key in property management marketing. Repurposing gives you a steady stream of content to post without overwhelming your team or scrambling to record videos all the time.
What Kind of Content Can Be Repurposed?
If you have any of the following, you already have content worth repurposing:
- Video blogs
- Webinars
- Interview-style videos
- Leasing or move-in walkthroughs
- Owner Q&A sessions
- Educational videos
- Community updates or neighborhood spotlights
These can all be turned into engaging short-form content that highlights your expertise and helps you build trust with prospective owners.
