How to Make An Engaging & Easy Newsletter with Spark
A well-crafted resident newsletter keeps your community informed, engaged, and excited about living at your property. With the Spark Canva template, creating your May 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:
Rent reminders or office closures (like Memorial Day)
Upcoming community events (Cinco de Mayo, pool openings, resident appreciation days)
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:
A Resident or Pet Spotlight – Feature a friendly neighbor or a beloved community pet
Local Highlights – List nearby farmers' markets, food festivals, or best outdoor dining spots
Poll or Trivia Question – Engage residents with a simple poll (e.g., “What’s your favorite summer activity?”) or a fun fact
Recipe or DIY Tip – Share an easy summer recipe or apartment-friendly decorating tip
Exclusive Perks – Promote any resident-only deals with local businesses
Step 3: Make It Interactive & Easy to Access
Include a QR Code – Link to your social media, resident portal, or event RSVP
Keep It Visual – Use photos, bright headers, and icons to break up text
Add a Call-to-Action – Encourage engagement with a simple CTA like “Tag us on Instagram if you attend this month’s event!”
Final Check Before Sending
✅ Proofread for clarity and accuracy
✅ Ensure important dates and deadlines are bold and easy to find
✅ Send via email, post on your portal, and print copies for high-traffic areas
