View Sponsor Tiers

In-depth reporting on the owners your customers serve - and their tenants.

SFR owners with 1-10 units are the lifeblood of the property management industry. For 2027 the research doubles: n=500 US rental property owners plus n=500 tenants (renters living in single-family detached homes).

We don't run our own survey. Harris Poll fields it: 1,000 U.S. adults across both audiences, fielding winter 2026-27, weighted to reflect the broader landlord and renter populations.

"Founded in 1956, The Harris Poll is one of the longest running surveys in the U.S. tracking public opinion, motivations, and social sentiments."

This isn't an ad buy. It's a position.

Your brand gets permanently associated with the definitive industry benchmark in your category. That association compounds every time the data is cited.

01

Harris Poll Credibility Transfer

Your company's name appears alongside one of the most recognized research brands in the world. That credibility doesn't exist in a blog post or whitepaper you publish yourself.

02

Shelf Life a Booth Can't Match

This isn't a conference booth that disappears Monday morning. The report stays the industry's current benchmark until the next edition, generating organic discovery long after launch. Your brand is present every time someone finds it.

03

Decision-Maker Audience

PM company owners and executives - the people who sign vendor contracts. Broker/Owner attendees manage an average of 500+ doors. This is where buying decisions happen.

04

Derivative Sales Assets

Higher tiers receive licensing rights to use the report in your marketing, plus a branded feature and a link from pmtrends.com. Your sales team uses PM Trends data - branded to your company - as credibility anchors through the report cycle.

A note on editorial independence.

Sponsors do not influence findings.

PM Trends retains full editorial control over all report content. Sponsors and Data Partners do not review, approve, or influence findings or conclusions prior to publication. Data contributions enhance the research but do not dictate the narrative.

This is not a concession - it's the reason the report is worth reading and the reason your sponsorship is worth buying. If we compromised editorial independence, the report would lose the credibility that makes it valuable to PMs and to you.

Data Partners approve their own expert commentary quote (2-3 sentences). That is the only content subject to sponsor review. The Digital Launch Partner presents the event but has no input on the questions asked or the conversation itself.
