Imagine uncovering one of the secrets behind the success of 80% of the National Multifamily Housing Council's (NMHC) 50 Largest Apartment Managers.
You might think it's a groundbreaking investment strategy, a renowned architect or even a revolutionary approach to achieving operational excellence.
But instead, the real game-changer is something much more human-centric - a commitment to elevating the resident experience by transforming routine tasks into exceptional experiences.
How? With a little help from WithMe’s innovative self-serve printing and coffee amenities, PrintWithMe and SipWithMe.
Modern residents demand modern amenities. But they also value convenience, quality and community.
Many multifamily owners and operators have become so caught up in the trends that they have forgotten about the simple things that really make a difference.
Instead of sending their residents on an expensive goose chase to print, top PMCs empower their residents to conveniently and securely print their own documents, whenever and wherever it’s necessary.
Instead of throwing a Keurig in the clubhouse to collect dust (and mold), top PMCs understand the value of brewing contentment and community with barista-quality coffee.
By going back to basics, 80% of the NMHC Top 50 Managers are demonstrating a unique understanding of the simple things that make a big difference when it matters most.
The Power of Positive Printing
Believe it or not, community printers are now all the rage in multifamily. With nods in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, forward-thinking property management professionals have turned their attention to this small amenity that is making a major impact on operational efficiencies, cost savings and resident satisfaction.
Think about it. From legal documents to shipping labels, everyone needs to print. But no one owns a printer. Printing has become something that no one thinks about until it’s causing a crisis.
Though it’s certainly not multifamily’s most glamorous amenity, it’s not surprising 82% of residents label PrintWithMe “essential.”
Completely wireless, PrintWithMe empowers residents to quickly and securely print from any electronic device - anytime, anywhere. Print jobs can be started by uploading documents to PrintWithMe’s website, sending them to a printer’s unique email address or using the PrintWithMe iOS app.
Self-serve printer stations aren’t just a convenient service for residents. They also significantly increase the operational efficiency of on-site teams by eliminating disruptive print requests and time-consuming troubleshooting. PrintWithMe even auto-ships paper and toner, effectively creating a hands-off amenity.

The Coffee Shop Experience Without the Coffee Shop Price Tag
Coffee isn’t just for wake-up calls. It’s a tool for building stronger communities, enhancing positive connections and boosting lease renewals.
When high-quality coffee stations are strategically placed in common areas, they naturally become social hubs where residents can connect and engage with one another.
And what happens when residents build strong relationships in their building and have access to amenities they truly value?
They’re more likely to renew their leases.
Featuring freshly roasted coffee from top craft roasters and more than 20 different barista-quality beverages (including hot chocolate), SipWithMe delivers more than a simple caffeine fix. The drinks are something to be savored, worthy of being the complement to conversation or the foundation of a buzz-worthy resident event.
The benefits extend to property management teams by eliminating the skyrocketing and uncontrollable costs that plague most coffee amenity solutions. SipWithMe’s proprietary Cup Allowance technology empowers property managers to control how much coffee each resident drinks. Flexible packages offer options ranging from a few cups a month to unlimited usage. When paired with all-inclusive pricing, budgeting is a breeze.
SipWithMe’s unmatched blend of top-tier quality and cost-efficiency is exactly why the top property management company in the country, Greystar, depends on WithMe for coffee (and printing) services.
