Vacation Rental Marketing

New website choices make it easy for owners to have their own website

New website choices make it easy for owners to have their own website
mm
VRM Intel Staff
March 14, 2013

March 14, 2013 –Owners now have access to many tools which make renting their own property easier than ever before. Payment processing, travel insurance, housekeeping tools, and keyless locks have been finding their way to VRBOs for the last several years, but did you know the vacation rental website choices have been increasing as well? Alan Eagan of RentMoreWeeks.com recently researched some of the most popular website providers for VRBOs and breaks down their pricing and setup format in is article “Vacation Rental Marketing – A Place Of One’s Own.”

 

Here are his top 5 picks:

By Alan Eagan

1. Future Stay

Here’s a little of what they say;
With Futurestay you can now create a website for your property in under 10 minutes with online booking for free.  Link your existing profiles on vacation rental listing sites (like vrbo & homeaway) back to your Futurestay website (at your own domain) to accept online bookings, simplify management and enhance your professional brand and image.
Here are just a few of the tools and features you get with Futurestay:
  • online booking (no merchant account or paypal needed)
  • guest management software
  • auto publish your property to 100+ listing sites (yahoo travel, lodging.com)
  • fully customizable layout and design
  • 100+ marketing, management, and booking features

Photos

You can add as many photos as you like and they also display as a slideshow on your home page.

Templates

Check out some sample websites here

Pricing

Futurestay is totally free to setup and use.
You’ll never be charged anything for the website or hosting. When guests book your property through your site they pay the price you want to receive plus Futurestay’s 10% commission.

7 minute challenge

Take the 7 minute website challenge!

They bet you can set up your vacation rental website in 7 minutes or you get your money back. Actually, its free either way!

Disclosure

I should add that I am a partner of Futurestay’s and I will get fantastically rich should you sign up with them.

 

2. MyVR

 

Here’s some of their blurb;

MyVR is online software that helps vacation rental owners increase bookings with less time and less hassle. We accomplish that by doing three things:

We better showcase your home
We help you launch your own online and mobile presence for your rental with your own website, Facebook Page, and more.

We expand your marketing
We offer numerous options for you to expand your vacation rental marketing (including social, local, mobile, and more) so that you can get more bookings, but without a ton more work because we know you have limited time.

We simplify the management of it all
We give you a single, centralized dashboard at MYVR where you launch and manage all your vacation rental marketing. Get all your inquiries in one place, and keep your calendar, rates, photos and information up to date and in sync across all your marketing!

 

Photos

Photos are shown full screen and here at rentmoreweeks we are big fans of full screen photos.

Templates

You can see some existing website examples here

Blog

They also publish a very informative blog that’s well worth following.

Pricing

At present there are two pricing plans the first costing $12 per month, the second costing $25 per month.
Both come with a free 14 day trial so you can dip your toe in the water.
For more info on what you get for your buck visit this page.

 

 

3. Promote My Place

 

 

Here’s what they say;

PromoteMyPlace.com is specially designed for holiday rental owners like you. It offers everything you need to get a high-performing website for your holiday let, simply and quickly, at minimal cost to you.

  • Simple & easy to use – no technical knowledge required
  • Great choice of professional designs and colour schemes

  • Promote your site online – we’ll show you how
  • Lots of satisfied customers

Here’s a video review by Mike Bayer of renting for profit (.com)

Photos

You can upload as many photos as you like

Show Videos

You can add YouTube videos directly onto to your website quickly and easily.

Templates

You can see their templates here

Languages

Allows owners to display their website in 7 different languages – English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. Very handy for the European market.

Blog

They also have a very good blog with all sorts of marketing tips

Pricing

Your website will cost you £69.00 (that’s around $103) which works out at about  £5.75 a month.
They offer a 14 day free trial too.

You can get a £10.00 discount by entering the Promotion code shown below.

When you’re ready, simply register for your no-obligation 14 day free trial and enter the promotion code below. If you decide to continue after your free trial expires, your discount will be applied automatically.

Promotion Code: NMR10

 

4. Web Chalet

 

Here’s some of what they have to say;

If you currently advertise on HomeAway, Flipkey, or VRBO you can now also create a personal website for your vacation home in minutes—WebChalet websites sync with HomeAway and VRBO calendars.
Use your personal website to communicate with your guests and keep them there instead of sending return customers back to a directory with all of your competition! Isn’t a great domain name much easier to remember than a listing number?

Every website comes with a full suite of marketing tools, from formatted Craigslist ads to Facebook integration.

 

Photos

You can add unlimited photos at no extra charge.

Templates

They have 18 templates to choose from

Pricing

They offer a number of pricing packages from $149 a year for a single property to $1999 a year for an unlimited number of properties. There are also a couple of packages in between.
They too have a free 15 day trial if you want to try it out.

Webchalet are already providing over 2700 websites for owners which is pretty impressive.
