Get Prepared And Organized
In seven years of marketing rentals for owners, I have seen far too many owners with great homes and plenty of reservations ruin their business - either because they were not prepared to handle some of the problems that arose or they did not keep track of the important details.
Don't let this happen to you...
Bookings rolled in. They were not organized, nor prepared to handle some of the problems that arose. They lost their vacation home and their dreams.
A Way To Get Organized
It's vital that you track all inquires and bookings as well as make sure you have collected payments, security deposits, scheduled cleaners, returned deposits, responded to e-mails, etc.
You can create a system yourself or invest a small amount in an easy to use organizer that works. We recommend the following...
Vacation Property Services provides consulting that helps vacation property owners increase their bookings. Their Vacation Rental Planner & Organizer includes a wide variety of practical items such as rental forms, calendars, correspondence, guest/prospect database forms, checklists and rental management software.
These tools will save you time and money along with allowing you to effortlessly manage your property. For more information on the organizer call Pat at (800) 569-9953 or visit the VPS website at www.vacationpropertyhelp.com
Make calls to anywhere in the world for a small monthly fee...
Sounds like an ad but it isn't.
The latest wave of telephone services that work through the Internet can provide you with a key advantage over your competitors.
For a small monthly fee, if you have DSL or other high speed Internet access, you can get a phone line - along with a local phone number or even a toll free number - that enables you to make phone calls to anywhere in the world for a flat monthly rate plus a tiny charge per minute.
The advantage is that you no longer need to be afraid of building up huge long distance charges. Plus, you will really make a good impression when you call someone on the other side of the world.
Although there are numerous companies that offer this service, one of the best is vonage.com
PS. You can really impress your guests by installing a vonage number in your vacation rental and offer them free phone calls anywhere in the world!
