In Part I of our series, we told you all about setting up your Roomorama Rental. In Part II, we’re going to tell you how to market it. Fortunately, Roomorama takes care of most of the maintenance for you, so we’re focusing on the creation of the post itself.
Most travelers want a combination of good location, decent pricing, and sizeable accommodations, so when posting, be sure to be AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE about them.
Location
- Avoid being vague; list specific details about your neighborhood and be as exacting as possible. Include proximity to public transportation (list meters or blocks, not “close too” or “nearby”), hospitals, movie theaters, venues, popular restaurants, etc.
- Be selective. No one wants a laundry list. Mention only the best of what you can offer.
Price
- All travelers have a budget, big or small. Make sure that your rates are fair and competitive, and that you are VERY clear about your fees. Being elusive causes confusion for the customer and will deter them from using one of your rentals in the future.
Size
- Again, be specific. State the maximum number of guests possible in each residence and note whether or not it is a share. Try to explain exactly how the apartment is set up, and list specific dimensions if helpful.
Lastly, the traveler is going to have specific dates that he or she wishes to visit, even up to the last minute. Try to keep your calendar as up-to-date as possible in order to maximize your bookings.
