Goin2Travel has prepared the following ebook to help you market your vacation rentals on the internet.
We recommend that you have your own website and that you market your vacation rentals on listing sites such as Goin2Travel.com and others.
The following ebook goes through the steps involved in setting up your website as well as the most effective approach to getting reservations from the internet.
Start With A Solid Foundation
When it comes to creating your Vacation Rental website, you have three options:
1. Design the website yourself.
2. Hire and/or work with a professional website designer.
3. Use WebsiteGeneration Site Design Tools
We'll get into all the particulars of creating a website further on, however...
Regardless of which option you select, your focus throughout the entire design and development process needs to be on creating a website that is both user friendly and search engine friendly.
Your goal is to have a website that gets you
inquiries that can be turned into reservations.
If you want to make money with your web site, forget about making it fancy. Your site should be professional and easy to read. It should look inviting, but not overdone.
The bottom line? Websites do not need special effects to reach customers.
Checklist To Success
Easy to Read Content
- Your content must be easy to read.
- Your content must make your place sound appealing.
- Important information about your rental should be highlighted.
- Keep It Simple. Visitors to your site are looking for specific information. They do not want to read a novel.
- Create great and compelling content for your site.
Easy Navigation
- The Three Click Rule: Information on your site should be accessed from your home page within THREE CLICKS.
- Don't make it a puzzle for visitors to figure out where to click. Your menus that have links to other pages must be easy to find and easy to use.
- You wouldn't build a home without creating it on paper first. Do the same with your website. Plan the navigation of your website on paper before you design it.
Feature Great Photos
- Photos are critical to your online success.
- With good photos you wont have to do as much selling.
- Good photos will result in substantially more inquiries than poor photos.
Fast Loading
- Pages should load in no more than 7 seconds on a 56k modem.
- Do NOT use pop-ups. Almost everyone hates them.
- Keep your pages professional, fast, and simple.
