Vacation Rental World Summit 2014

Extend Your Booking Season

A questions we get asked more often at the events we speak to is the following: "How Can I Extend My Booking Season"? It is a pressing need of most property owners and we found a pretty interesting solution!

How To Know If Your Prospect Opened Your Email?

/
"How Do I Know If My Email Reached My Prospect?" This is a big issue for all of us, property owners and managers who often wonder whether our reply to an enquiry ever made it through the spam filters and into our prospect's inbox. We developed a pretty simple, yet really powerful workaround, which enabled us to check what happens to our emails 98% of the times and therefore allows all our next moves, which are the core of our winning formula for getting an enquiry to conversion rate of 60-70% when the industry average is roughly 10-15%!

Tripadvisor Review: Here Comes Review Express!

/
Are you using Tripadvisor to promote your property? If not, then you should! Early in May, Tripadvisor rolled out a free marketing tool called 'Review Express': you can now send bulk emails to all of your past guests to ask for a review and therefore leverage the power of one of the most important factors influencing decisions for over 90% percent of holiday makers.

The idea seems pretty interesting and luring, given the fact that we can personally confirm how lots of (positive), genuine and recent reviews get you more enquiries and help you out converting them into actual bookings, once you follow the exact steps we perform (and we teach online) to "wow" our prospective guests and clear any doubt!
