Vacation Rental or Holiday Home Advertising at a Bargain Price
You have a vacation rental or holiday home and want to rent it?
OK, but how and where and how much it will costs? There are so
many questions that every vacation property owner has. It is
certain that vacation rentals advertising is not allays
expensive.
There are literally hundreds of holiday home directories and
vacation rental sites that you can use to advertise your
vacation rental property. Some of them are well established,
others are brand new. Some of them are beautiful with nice
design, others are simple vacation property listing. With so
many sites to choose from, you shouldn't stick with one or two
of the expensive sites! I can assure you, that the most "new"
vacation rentals websites have better service, than many
"established" sites. They are young, flexible and motivated and
they offer advertising at a bargain price.
There are lots of factors to consider before paying sums of
money to advertise your vacation property website.
The most important are:
- Ensure that the vacation rentals site is cost effective. Check
if there is a free trial or a special offer ( e.g.
http://arrangeyourvacation.com offers "premium" advertising of
holiday homes for 1$ per month, standard listings are free of
charge).
- Do you want to advertise on one web site - with annual
advertisements typically around $130-$160 per year or you want
to spread your offers on many "bargain" web sites?
- Chose vacation rental sites that specifically target
travellers to a specific region or country in which you have
your property. ( e.g. http://mexico-holiday-home.com,
http://italy-vacation-homes.com or
http://greece-holiday-home.com).
- Consider user-friendly vacation rentals sites with nice
features, such as the ability to search by keyword or search for
properties that are available for specific dates and than you
can save the founded "favorite" properties.
- Ensure that the vacation rentals site offers the ability to
modify your listing and photos and allow you to update your
availability calendar.
- It is helpful, if the site offers tracking of statistics, as
number of times your site was viewed as well as the enquiries
that you have received.
Summary: You should list on as much as possible vacation rental
sites to maximize your bookings, but chose carefully and don't
pay more than necessary! The Price is not allays mark of
quality!
