Get More New Business From Your Existing Rental Clients
There is a great source of villa bookings that many owners of holiday homes never really consider. They’ve seen your rental property, you’ve transacted with them before and more importantly, they rented your vacation property. Yes, these are people who have rented your holiday homes. This may come as a surprise but many people in the vacation rentals business forget that previous rental clients are a good source of new bookings. Just ask yourself if you ever tried calling up your previous rental clients. Chances are you have not. It’s about time that you do lest they’ll simply look for another place to rent.
There is value in doing repeat business. First of all, these vacationers already know you and your vacation homes. Though marketing holiday homes is important, there is practically less effort with this particular group. Why, they already got a taste of your rental advertising before. But of course a little refresher and some updates are needed. Another important aspect of repeat business is creating a stronger relationship between you and clients. In a sense, you are strengthening the trust that they have in you. Creating repeat business is actually the foundation of creating loyal customers.
Don’t believe the misconception that vacationers don’t want to go back to places they have visited before. There is a trend now that people go on breaks several times in a year. Though shorter, they still take the time to have a break. It is these people whom you’ve provided space before that are looking for a place to stay once more. With the amount of rental advertising, it is easy for them to skip your vacation home advertising. So instead of losing them to another holiday home owner, you might as well contact them yourself.
Repeat rental business is a good sign that you are providing the best option for your villa’s clients. But don’t leave this to chance. Scour through your records and initiate contact with your clients. Even if they do not require any accommodations at that time, at least you get the chance to remind them of your property. Sometimes the best vacation rental advertising is one that is simple and straight forward. Be the one to look for them and contact them. It’s simple; you have their number in your records.

It may be a chalet on the ski slopes, a condominium on the ocean, a log cabin in the mountains, a lovely cottage on the lake or villa in Florida. Your plan if you are like most real estate investors or vacation rental owners, is to use the property yourself for a couple of weeks out of the year and rent it out for the rest of the time. You already know that you needed someone to sort out the details for the rest of the year. Knowing you need someone to help you get rentals and keep up the home, you probably have looked into or you might have already hired a property manager for your rental.
Your living the dream and I applaud you
Now let us get into some numbers if you have a mortgage on your rental property of let’s just say $1600 as an example. You also have probably considered some type of rental rate or weekly return you could receive per rental bookings let’s just say $1400 per week you could bring in. If you only rented the vacation rental home out for just half the month that’s $2800 your going to make a good return, right?

Holiday Home Marketing A Booming Business For Home Owners
Many home owners of holiday homes don’t look at their rental homes as being a business, however I assure you that it is. Wherever there is money being transferred and services being rendered, you’ve got a business. Vacation travelers are paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to rent a vacation property for their vacation or holiday the amount of money received per rental bookings depends on the length of the vacationers stay and the individual features and location of the holiday home. There is no question that there is a great opportunity for vacation rental home owners to make money by renting out their holiday homes.
I felt it was important to mention this topic as I know that this type of thinking is undoubtedly effecting holiday home owners everywhere. I have personally spoken with hundreds of villa owners and I regularly provide individual consulting services for holiday home owners and owners of short term investment properties. The service I provide for villa owners is normally turn-key and is focused on helping home owners by marketing holiday homes aggressively for owners and agents.
Online advertising is key for marketing holiday homes and the Internet has been proven to deliver results for vacation home owners globally, however many vacation villa owners are not receiving the full monetary potential for their holiday rental homes simply because they don’t consider their holiday home a business. When vacation rental owners open their minds they will get vacation renters to open their wallets and open new opportunities for themselves and their holiday rental business.
So if your not marketing your holiday home on the web or if you haven’t thought of your holiday home as a business or an income stream for you, get your business booming and start marketing your vacation home today.
