See how it worksGeneral AI writing tools can draft copy, but they do not solve the harder job: finding plausible tenants and reaching them safely. Resquared's database lists 14,786,458 active local businesses in the US and Canada, with filters for radius, category, business size, hours, and recent reviews.
Build each campaign around one property and a focused tenant category. Tell the AI about the location, build-out, suitable uses, exclusions, and ideal operator. Review the map and filters, then remove obvious mismatches such as competitors, oversized chains, or businesses that do not fit the space.
Use AI to write a short, plain-text sequence personalized from each business's details. Mention the area and type of space, but leave out the exact address, size, and price. Ask an easy question such as whether you can send details or whether the operator has expansion plans. Send follow-ups automatically, then call promptly when a suitable business replies.
What to do
- Describe the vacancy, target business type, geography, exclusions, and campaign goal in ordinary language.
- Review the AI-created map, radius, categories, and business-size filters before saving the list.
- Preview the sequence and edit the language so it sounds like you and reflects the property accurately.
- Send a 3-email sequence, with messages spaced three days apart, from separate managed sending domains.
- Call qualified respondents and use what you learn to improve the next tenant campaign.
Related questions
Can I use a general AI writing assistant by itself?
It can help draft emails, but you will still need local-business data, contact information, sending infrastructure, automated follow-up, and campaign tracking.
Should AI target national chains or independent businesses?
For most vacancies, start with independent and regional operators whose current footprint fits the space. Regional multi-location operators can be especially useful when they show a pattern of expansion.
Should AI send campaigns without broker review?
Review the targeting, geography, property claims, message, and personalization before launch. AI should speed up the work while you retain judgment over tenant fit.
