We Give a Crap: How We Make Moving Day Stress a Thing of the Past

Aaron Duggan • February 8, 2024

Discover How Our 'Moving Day Goodie Bags' and Eco-Friendly Essentials from Who Gives A Crap Elevate Tenant Experience and Sustainability

Put yourself in your tenant’s shoes – it’s the Big Day… Wait, not THAT big day, the other big day: MOVING DAY! Your friends have helped you pack up vehicles and boxes and transported all your stuff to your new rental home. Pizza arrives. People are hydrating. And THEN, someone goes to use the restroom. Suddenly, out of the blue, a problem:

Where did we pack the toilet paper??? Panic sets in… It’s got to be in ONE of these boxes! But which one???

As familiar as this scene may be, it isn’t something your tenants have to worry about since we at Tranquility go the extra mile and provide “moving day goodie bags” for all our residents. What’s inside? Bottled water. Paper towels. And toilet paper! We understand that moving into a new home can be a stressful experience and having essential items readily available saves tenants the hassle of searching frantically for, or immediately having to purchase, these items. It adds a level of convenience and helps tenants settle into their new home more comfortably. It also creates a positive first impression and makes our tenants feel valued and cared for.

But wait – there’s more!

The toilet paper and paper towels we provide are made from 100% recycled paper, drop-shipped directly to us by Who Gives A Crap, leaders in the field of recycled and sustainable toilet paper and paper towels. Their products are made from environmentally friendly materials, and they donate a significant portion of their profits to charity. By offering these products in the welcome bag, Tranquility contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly living environment. This aligns with our Benefit Corporation value of good stewardship and a Who Gives A Crap coupon in the welcome bag encourages tenants to make sustainable choices in their daily lives.

My wife and I first learned about Who Gives A Crap from our daughter who treated us to our first shipment and drew our attention to the “Toilet Paper Sustainability Scorecard” (bonus points to anyone who has ever heard of this before reading this sentence). Who Gives A Crap scores an A+, while our usual brand was a solid F. We signed up for regular deliveries and like it so much we now share this sustainable and affordable product with our tenants. Every little bit helps. If you’d like more information, or that coupon code to try Who Gives A Crap for yourself, please feel free to reach out.

We’re in this together.
