Have you ever felt like your vacation rental is a small fish in the ever-expanding sea of Airbnb’s, B&B’s, and posh resorts?
Let’s dive deep into how to make my vacation rental stand out!
Competition in the vacation rental world? Oh boy, it’s more crowded than a family reunion at a free buffet! From the swanky hotels to Bob’s B&B down the lane, standing out feels like trying to hog the spotlight at a rock concert.
.
So, how do I make my vacation rental stand out
You need the unique stay vibe. Think about this – if you’re by the beach, maybe a surfboard-shaped coffee table? Mountain retreat? Heck, bring in the log-cabin vibes! And for the love of all things vacation, if you’ve got space, throw in a hot tub. People love bubbles!
.
How about your rental’s personal paparazzi moment? That killer online profile with drool-worthy photos? Gold! Spread your fame on Airbnb, VRBO, and don’t forget to flaunt it on social media. And hey, when your guests post that sunset balcony selfie, make sure they tag you. Free publicity, anyone?
Honesty is the best policy. Be crystal clear about prices. Nobody likes those sneaky hidden fees, right? And in the ever-chaotic world we live in, a sprinkle of flexibility in your booking policies? That’s like offering free cookies.
.
Be the perfect host. Slide into those DMs swiftly! I mean, reply to your guests’ queries ASAP. And sprinkle a bit of magic with personal touches. Maybe a basket of local goodies? Or perhaps a classic handwritten note that says, “Thanks for choosing my property!”
.
Keep it fresh. After your guests bid adieu, get that feedback! It’s like your report card but without the scary math grades. Stay updated with the latest trends – whether it’s a voice-controlled assistant or planting more greens.
.
And remember, keeping an eye on your competitors? That’s not being nosy; it’s called market research! Make sure you always have that ace up your sleeve and remain on the top of your guest’s travel wish list.
