January 2024 Partner Update

Hi partners!

I hope your new year is off to a great start. As we settle into the groove for 2024, we’ve got some exciting and important updates for you.

First, as a reminder, Jenna is no longer with Team RR. Dave and I will be stepping into her stead and attempting to fill her very big shoes. Please reach out to me via email or Slack if you need anything.

Second, here’s a quick snapshot of what we’ve got for you this year. 

What’s staying the same:

• All partners get rotating spotlights in our monthly newsletter. Content for your spotlight is due the first of the month the newsletter will ship out (around mid-month), listed in the partner portal here.
• All partners can supply banner and sidebar ads to display on rentresponsibly.org. We suggest updating your ads quarterly, for which we’ve incorporated due dates into your deliverables calendar listed in the partner portal here. However, you can update these as desired!
• All partners get free company membership in the new RR Network! If you haven’t set up your company profile and admin yet and would like to get started on that, please reply to let me know, and I will arrange setup with our Director of Product, Garrett.
• All partners can submit press releases to us to publish on rentresponsibly.org at any time via this form.
• All partners can participate in the Feed Your Mind Alliance Event Series to get in front of our growing roster of alliances with engaging, educational content and lead collection. We’re working with alliances now to get their event calendars penciled out for the entire year, so we’ll reach back out as FYM opportunities come up.
• All partners will get exclusive dedicated sessions at RR Summit. This year, we’ll be holding one RR Summit, likely toward the end of the year. The Spring RR Summit will be replaced by…

What’s NEW:

• Industry-wide Owner/Operator Survey and Report: We’re bringing back our State of the STR Industry Study and Report this spring! (Note: This will take the place of our Spring RR Summit.) Our 2024 study will be even bigger and better than our 2022 study, which saw over 4,600 respondents. We will be combining the research with events and our second annual advocacy leader retreat. See all the details and what all partners get included here. 
• Legislation Tracking Dashboards: We use Quorum, a legislation tracking software, to create and deploy dashboards for alliances to monitor local and state STR regulations. If your business needs to stay on top of regulations of any kind, we can create a dashboard for you based on any keywords that are important to you. Let me know if this is of interest and I can share more details.

Thank you all for your partnership in 2024 – we are so excited to work with you all on even more important things for the benefit of operators and the industry!
