Orlando Vacation Rental Website Design

This is yet another professional vacation rental website design created by Villa Marketers. This website was built for a vacation rental owner with a property at the Reunion Resort located in the heart of Orlando Florida. The Reunion Resort is known for its extravagant amenities and lavish luxuries,  anything else is just unacceptable. It’s true that many of the properties in the resort are very large but no vacation home in all of Orlando is as large as the Grande Reunion Resort. The Grande Reunion Resort is a 9 bedroom mansion located within the gates of the famous Reunion Resort. The property was built on two lots rather than the normal one lot that other Reunion rentals are built on.

The owners knew they needed the best to represent this property that is why Villa Marketers were sought out to build the vacation rentals website and market the amazing Grande Reunion Resort property. The owner of this Orlando vacation rental wanted to design a website that would truly capture the essence of the property and showcase all of its features. The property’s lowest weekly rental rates start at approx $9500.00 per week.  With a luxury rental as epic as this one, the presentation of the property needed to be just right in order to attract the right type of clientele.

We are proud to have been acquired to design this vacation rental website and to lead the marketing of the property.  Villa Marketers  now has the bragging rights of designing Orlando’s largest vacation rental website. This website is well on its way to producing hundreds of thousands of dollars for the owner and in the near future millions worth of rental income.

If you own a vacation rental in Orlando or anywhere for that matter and need to design a professional website that’ll crush your competition then look no further, contact Villa Marketers today.

Buying A Vacation Rental Website Template?

7 Reasons Never To Buy Vacation Rental Website Templates

If you’ve been considering designing a vacation rentals website using a template, I urge you to first consider the problems vacation rental owners face when using templates.

In fact we have just redesigned a website for a vacation rental owner who was using a template and realized it did not meet their needs after many failed attempts to make things work. The owners wanted to make adjustments to the template but just couldn’t and they ended up designing their own vacation rental website after going around in circles.

You can see the old site here where the client used a template previously www.star-lake-manor.co.uk

Here is the new design we created here www.villamarketers.com/starlake

Big difference right?

I’m sure you can see the big difference between the two presentations and the image they portray. In this blog I would hope to save you from losing money, time and help you avoid aggravation. Learn from other owners and the professionals; design a website now that will meet your needs for today and tomorrow.

I have included in this post “7 Reasons Never To Buy Vacation Rental Website Templates”. Review the list and you decide if buying a vacation rental template is the right choice for your vacation rental business.

1) You’ll Need To Do Some Website Customization Anyway. Vacation rental website templates don’t usually come out the box ready to go. There are several modifications that you’ll need to make, assuming of course, you know how to code a website in HTML or PHP. If not then you’ve got to hire and pay a website designer to help you anyhow.

2) Your Vacation Rental Isn’t Unique In Anyway. Your vacation rentals website says a lot about you and your brand. Everyone in business has a brand. Even if their brand is a knock off product with a white no frills label, it’s just called the “cheap” brand.

In the online world every owner’s goal is to make their vacation property stand out above the rest. Especially when you consider a traveler will search several websites before making their decision. It is important that your property’s website is not drowned out in the sea of rentals found in the online market.

You’re much better off creating a website designed from scratch that will capture the look of your brand and the eye of your renters.

3) Vacation Rental Templates Often Have Restrictions
Website templates are often very difficult to tailor for your specific needs especially for vacation rentals. You may want to have automatic booking software on your site or maybe a special calendar or even review section. You’ll find it difficult to implement some of these tools you’ll want to have on your site because of design and coding restrictions. You’ll also need to consider there are usually licensing agreements enforced by the designer of the template that will govern your rights to use “your” vacation rentals website. You don’t want these restraints on your business do you?

4) Your Message Is Compromised. I want you to picture a box, now you have the idea of a template. The box has distinct parameters and restrictions if you want to go outside that box you can’t. These restrictions force you to compromise your website’s design. When using a vacation rental template for your site you’ll never get it to look exactly the way you want it. You just don’t get that custom look that gives a rental business the edge it needs in this competitive market. With a custom designed website for your vacation rental you get to deliver your message of relaxation, tranquility, value or luxury much more effectively.

5) Others Are Using The Same Website Template. The purpose for a designer to build and design a template is to sell that one template as many times as possible and make as much money as they can. This also means that hundreds or even thousands of other owners and businesses are also downloading that same template. What will your rental prospects think when they see you have the same website as another owner or business? This can even raise some red flags unnecessarily in the eyes of the weary renter.

6) Most Vacation Rental Website Templates Are Terrible For SEO. This really should’ve been number one because if your vacation rental website performs poorly in search engines like Google its costing you in rentals. The fact is most templates aren’t developed with SEO in mind. A designer and an SEO professional perform two completely different roles and designers of templates usually aren’t familiar with even basic SEO practices. Many templates make it hard for Googles search spiders to search and reference the website because of the coding.

7) Vacation Rental Website Templates Use Clunky Coding
Another reason you should avoid building a vacation rental website with a template is clunky code. Often times the code is bulky coding with errors and bad structure. All of these errors and coding issues leave behind a “foot print” for the search engines. These search engines can easily identify all the websites that are using the code. Here is where it can really hurt you; if those other websites that use the same template as yours are in the “bad neighborhoods” (as Google calls them) or if they are in other questionable businesses. It is very possible that your site can be bundled along with those bad websites and your site can be ranked lower than you ought to be.

This clunky coding will also make your vacation rental website load much slower. This is just annoying for your website visitors; this will also affect your websites search engine rankings. Google consider the load time of your website important for the user experience and therefore this has a big impact in your page rank and results.

It is also important you find a good, reliable, professional and reasonable web design firm to help you. Villa Marketers specializes in vacation rental website design and marketing services. We know how to design a vacation rental website to fit your needs and convert lookers into bookers. No more wasted time and effort!

If you’re interested in obtaining more traffic to your vacation rental website, listing services or offers then you’ll want to write a press release. A press release is a great way to gain traffic, back links and customers.

I recently wrote a press release about the release of my new book “Vacation Rental Marketing Secrets No One Will Tell You” the press release told readers about the important details about the book and within a few days we sold over 50 books. Not bad for a free form of vacation rental advertising.

However there are few things you’ll want to consider when writing a press release for your vacation rental business. When writing your press release you’ll want to make the article informative answering questions like who, what, where, when, how and why. When writing your press release for your vacation rental ask yourself those questions and then answer them for your readers in the press release.

Who is it about or who would be interested?

What is it you’re offering or promoting and what value is there?

Where is the property, website or services being offered?

How can someone take advantage of what your offering or how did it happen?

Why is this promotion or service being offered or why should someone be interested?

These are just a few ideas to run with when you’re advertising your vacation rentals online with press releases. Keep in mind that your press release should not be an obvious advertisement. Your press release is a way to advertise your vacation rental but you’ll need to cloak your advertising as news. Try to think of it as news and how can you present in a news worthy fashion.

Take some time working your press release and make sure its concise proof it yourself a few times then when you think you’ve caught all the errors have someone else look it over and get their opinion on the press release. Try to make your press release exciting interesting and relevant.

Holiday Home Advertising Warning

Holiday Home Advertising

I’m often contacted by holiday home owners needing some help advertising their holiday properties.

I see mistakes firsthand that often occur when an owner is handling their own advertising, many of which can put their holiday rental business in danger. Owner’s give online advertising the old college try but often find themselves with low occupancy. In many cases owners get distracted from their holiday rental affairs because of their real life issues and often lack the follow through. So in this blog I will hopefully drum up some motivation in holiday home owners to take action and prevent costly holiday rental investment mistakes. I will point out one common mistake I find that is very dangerous for the stability of an owners investment property.

In the business world, many successful small companies suddenly go out of business because they have been unable to react to a change in the market. One of the biggest causes of failure is the reliance on one specific marketing method to find customers.

I had a friend whose father had a successful shoe factory that was selling very high quantities of their goods. The problem was that essentially they were only selling to one large client who was then distributing to many shops. When that unique client was lured away from competitors this small business failed within six months.

I think that is a great example of how risky it is to rely on just one source of clients. And the same is true for your holiday home. Unfortunately, most holiday home owners tend to stick to one or at the most two sources of bookings.

You see, in business it doesn’t matter what you are trying to market, you will never find the ultimate marketing strategy. You can however attempt to develop the near perfect marketing plan. Nevertheless, there is always scope for improvement as perfection in this case does not exist.

It is the same for your holiday home advertising. You will never find the 100% perfect source of rental bookings from one holiday rental ad. But with a bit of dedication you can find a good working mix of strategies, listings and online holiday home advertising that can dramatically increase the return on your holiday home investment.

Ever noticed the message under every investment advice – “past results are not guarantee for future returns”? Well, always keep that in mind when you find a source of holiday bookings that is working very well for you. That source of bookings is not guaranteed to produce the same results in the future. So, be prepared by developing a mixture of different sources of bookings for your holiday home so that if one fails you can still rely on the others. In other words, follow the rule that says “don’t put all your eggs in one basket“. This cliche’ is usually used in the financing and investment world, but it is equally valid when it comes to your holiday home advertising.

There are many changes happening on holiday rental websites like VRBO that you can no longer rely on these types of advertising resources alone. You need to have a strategic plan that covers all your bases to ensure your rentals success.

This is why holiday home owners seek out the advertising services of Villa Marketers. Villa Marketers helps holiday home owners develop a diversified rental advertising strategy that will gaurantee holiday bookings for their rental property.  Advertising holiday homes online can be a daugnting task and our advertising services make it easy for owners just like you.

Vacation Photographs Can Help Make Bookings For Your Rentals

How To Market Vacation Rentals On Facebook

52% of Facebookers Inspired To Travel By Vacation Photographs. A Rental Marketing Must! Check The Stats

I have been asked this question on many occasions ”does marketing vacation rentals on Facebook generate rental bookings?”

Well, that depends.  If you are marketing vacation rentals on Facebook the wrong way it definitely won’t work.

However if you are different, creative and listen closely to what makes your followers tick you can peak their interest.

After-all followers are just people and people do travel. The trick to learn is how to get Facebookers interested to book your vacation rental?

I sometimes hear of professional marketers telling owners that Facebook doesn’t bring in bookings and not to waste their time with social marketing. You know I must call them out on this one.  I know first hand that the right social marketing campaign can generate interest and ultimately bookings, it’s worked for us. Facebook has helped us book rentals we would’ve never reached if it were not for Facebook.  Now there are third party statistics that prove these  ” professionals” wrong (be wary of the marketing advice you follow).

Did you know?

Google’s algorithm considers your ‘social relevance” when determining the ranking of your vacation rental website?

If that single reason isn’t enough to develop a social marketing strategy than consider these statistics.

According to a study from the flight comparison website Skyscanner; pictures have an extremely powerful  influence on Facebook users travel planning. With more than half (52 per cent) stating that seeing their friends’ vacation pictures has inspired them to book a vacation to the same place. (That’s the part that is interesting!)

These statistics will mean nothing to you except of course if you decide to adjust your Facebook marketing appropriately. Then you can truly benefit from using Facebook as an advertising website to get rental bookings.

The study reported 52% of Facebookers were interested in visiting the places they’ve seen their friends visiting. Their friend’s vacation pictures inspired them to take a vacation.  Most owners are not advertising their vacation rentals like this on social platforms and for this reason they lose out on the impact of social marketing. Social marketing is all about being social and shareable and vacations are something Facebookers share with their social groups.

They brag and boast about what a wonderful time they had on vacation. They share their vacation photographs with family and friends and if you have a way to get your property, logo or website recognized in front of these people you now have a ton of free vacation rental marketing. This is where having a Facebook page and a little branding are important for your vacation rentals social marketing. Having a brand will help those friends and followers to make a connection with your rental business.

Why does this type of social marketing work so well?

To answer this question let us reference Sam Baldwin, Skyscanner Travel Editor commented:

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words and here is the proof. Facebook is the perfect platform for two very powerful influencers of travel; a personal recommendation combined with alluring images. From Orlando to Australia, seeing our friends’ adventures can certainly plant a seed that later leads to a trip to somewhere you never previously thought about visiting.”

Let me ask you this….are you inpiring people on Facebook? Are your previous renters helping to inspire travelers for you? Or are you just trying to sell your followers something?

These are just some of the questions you’ll need to ask yourself before you can fix your Facebook and social marketing efforts.

Understand one thing about social marketing, it isn’t anything new. Its about building relationships with real people in a virtual way. It is through the relationships you build from your social marketing that you develop your leads .

When it comes to marketing vacation rentals on Facebook vacation rental owners and managers tend to get it wrong. Facebook is NOT an ad blaster for your vacation rental,  it is a network of ” Real People”. Do people really want to be hit with a daily barrage of your advertising? Of course not! If your messages are just advertisements of your vacation rental or management company, your likely being ignored.  If you rethink your social marketing strategy and refocus on people you will have better results with marketing on Facebook.  Stop thinking about yourself and focus your thoughts on your followers that is the mantra of social marketing. Think of ways you can help people on social networks? Try it out for your advertising and you’ll see a much more favorable response and deeper interaction with people.

Here are a couple of other interesting travel statistic to support the importance of social marketing

A recent study released by EyeforTravel indicated that 7 out of 10 travel brands professed how social media has not only generated a remarkable amount of direct bookings from social media sites, but has also significantly improved engagement with customers. If they can generate bookings couldn’t you?

If you learn how to advertise your vacation rentals on Facebook the right way, you’ll be able to take advantage of the fact that some owners aren’t on Facebook at all.  And you’ll be able to do better than the majority of owners because most owners marketing on Facebook are doing it wrong. If you develop your Facebook and social marketing now you’ll have a leg up on your competitors, check the stats.

A report by World Travel Market revealed that by 2016, social media will be in the forefront as a primary way to generate travel bookings and revenue for half of the travel industry.

The report also indicates:

22%, of travel companies generate revenue from social media efforts

27% are planning to make strides in social over the next 5 years

Are you going to get left behind? Do you have a strong social marketing plan in place, if not chances are you will.

When in doubt resort to statisitcs because opinions are like belly buttons everbodys got one.

Have A Vacation Rental Website?

Free Vacation Rental Websites The Only Free Cheese In The Mousetrap

Free Vacation Rental Website Design Templates

If you haven’t thought to design a vacation rental website to help get rentals for yourself then, you’re missing out on everything. I encourage you to build a vacation rental website in order for your holiday guests to find you online .

Your property manager has a website for their rental company, right?

This is how they generate most of their bookings isn’t it?

If you know vacation rental bookings are happening online why haven’t you taken the necessary steps to design a professional website for your own vacation property.

Considering Designing A Vacation Rental Website?
Once you’ve decided to join other vacation rental owners advertising their vacation rentals on the web with a property website, you’ll need to know where you should begin. You may be tempted to take the easy way out but the ” easy out” may not be what you expected. You also may be tempted to take the cheapest way out but don’t the cheapest things in life usually wind up costing more?
Free Vacation Rental Website Design Templates

Free Vacation Rental Website Design Services

You may want to consider designing a free vacation rental website for your property. Is this your easy out? Review all of these website options and you chose how to build your site.

We will now go through several options available on the web to build a free vacation rental website. Before designing a free site ask yourself this question do you think that real businesses who are making real money on the internet are using a free service to design their website? Of course they aren’t. In business you only get back what you put into it and if your putting nothing into your vacation rental business what do you think you’ll get back from your efforts? Your vacation rentals website is a gold mine for your vacation rentals bookings just waiting to be tapped into by you. Your vacation rental website can bring you EXTREME profits for your vacation rental if you set it up right.

So here are your options for designing a vacation rental website.

Build a Free Vacation Rental Site Yourself With a Template.

If you’re daring enough you may decide to build your own website using a free vacation rental template. Well, the truth is most templates aren’t free but can be purchased pretty cheap. You’re able to download these templates that are basically pre-designed websites you can plug in your content and photos. If you go this route you can build your vacation rental site online without hiring a website designer, that’s a brilliant idea isn’t it?

Another truth is that your vacation rentals template has to be altered to fit your needs and will require some customization anyway. These vacation rental templates are not turn-key and ready for your use straight away. You’ll need to make modifications and design adjustments but that’s no problem, you know about website coding, right? If you don’t you’ll need to hire a web designer anyway, so much for free.

Of course you have the option for a free vacation rental website service. What you’ll find is that many of these sites offer a “free trial” and therefore advertise a “free vacation rental website” online. After you’ve taken the time to upload all your photographs, text and content you learn that vacation rental website services like these have a monthly cost to maintain and operate.

Now here is an option that sounds promising for building your rental website, right?

One big problem with this website option is that the site never is yours! If you don’t pay for one month of service your website disappears from the site of your travelers. That’s a real big problem!

Your vacation rentals website is your storefront and after you’ve developed your customers you’ll never want to close it down. When you run your rental business using a third party vacation rental software like this you could lose power over your investment business, should your needs change and want to move in another direction in the future. This can be a real drag for your rental business.

You also have another option that has been emerging online. This is a

” Free Vacation Rental Website”

offer too. They advertise their vacation rental website development services to you as being free however it is far from free! In fact this is the most expensive option for your rental website design! These vacation rental websites offer software that can build your website template for you. They try to make it simple and easy to use so you’ll create a website with them.

Here is why this option for building a vacation rental site is the most expensive. These services charge commissions! Commissions are the lifeline of your vacation rentals business.

The last option is designing a vacation rental site using the services of a professional. I know you may perceive this blog as bias, that’s fine because it is! I can speak with conviction because I know that this works best for serious business owners wanting to make a return on their investments. I’ve already made all the mistakes and my hopes are that you can learn from my errors. I’ve tried all these options and I offer you (the readers of my blogs) nothing the best vacation rental marketing advice possible. This is always my goal. Every article I write takes time to make sure its quality content you can truly benefit from and this blog is no different.

There is no question that designing a vacation rental web site with a professional firm is how everyone should do it. But it’s expensive to design a custom website, right? Actually no. It is probably more affordable than you think and in the long run it is the most cost efficient website design option that will deliver the highest returns from your investment property.

Think about the benefits of designing a professional quality website that is customized for your rental business. Imagine owning a site that wows your travelers and makes more bookings. When you get help from a website design firm they can make the process simple. A good vacation rental website design agency will listen to what you want and know how to give you what you need.

Time is money the longer it takes you to get your vacation rentals site on the web the more money you’re losing.
