The vacation rental market is crowded, hotter than ever, and as a vacation rental property management company differentiating yourself from your competition requires a creative approach. In this post, we’re going to examine a strategy that can up your rentals and creates a great brand image.

While you may be upping your game by providing your guests with luxury finishes and world-class amenities, it’s still not enough to truly stand out from the pack. Today, you have to go beyond the norm and offer guests a full in-destination experience that goes beyond luxury accommodations, and provide them an experience they’ll remember!

Altering your business plan to pair rentals with experiences can give your property the edge you’re looking for.

The Benefits of Combining Vacation Rentals and Experiences

While your property is an integral part of your guest’s trip, it’s not the only part. In fact, no matter how comfy the beds, or how large the TV, it’s not likely that they’ve come to your property to stay inside for their entire vacation. Your properties should be somewhere that your guests can return to relax with friends after a day on the beach, the slopes, or spent exploring.

Inspiring your guests with recommendations and ideas of the best your location has to offer can give your brand an edge and help you to stand out from the crowd. Customer service is the key to building long-term relationships with guests and helping your guests get the most out of their vacation is excellent customer service.

Developing “Experience” Packages

Effectively building experience packages for your guests requires a level of personalization. You’ll need to tailor your guest’s experiences specifically to them. Of course, there are often attractions close by that everyone will want to see, but each guest is different.

When it comes to building an experience, knowledge is power. You can start by gathering information about their interests during the booking process. You can also gain valuable insight by analyzing the data you collect through your inbound marketing efforts. The more you know early in the game, the more relevant, and personalized, your suggestions will be and the better their experience. By asking specific questions throughout the booking process, and before your guest’s arrival, you can better design packages to cater to the particular interests of your guests.

To truly stand out in your market you need to create best in class activity programs that not only offer value to your guests but are easy to understand and manage.
