  • Upload different content

Publish various content, such as reasonable offers, lower rates, recent information about your area, local events, and more, to engage your audience. As a local expert, put yourself!

  • Foster the experience

 

Consider more than the place itself to promote the experience. Show how enjoyable it is to stay there, mention to your guests the events and the optional extras you provide. Your unique selling points are these!

  • Venue and hashtags

Will not ignore using hashtags and places. This will allow people on social media to find you!

  • Generate a link to your website

Don't forget to add a link to your website in the caption when you upload your images and the property page you displayed. If you have a direct booking engine on your website, it is beneficial: your visitors can book directly there instead of on sales networks looking for their dream house for hours! Similarly, add a link on your website to your social media networks.

  • Videos and pictures

Just choose your best videos and images. Even if you know that your property is the most magnificent in the city, your prospective guests still don't. And nothing more than fantastic and desirable pictures will persuade them! It would help if you employed a specialist photographer to make sure you have the best ones. You can also take some nice shots alone, though.

  • Identification in visual form

Create a visual identity for your company and stay intact so that people can remember you. You can use a logo and unique colors, for instance. When they see your posts among many others on their Facebook or LinkedIn wall, they will help people recognize you!

  • Promotion of your properties

The content you want to write is what you need to concentrate on. Social networking is a fantastic tool for promoting your property and your brand and following some of these tips to become an expert in social media.

Be interactive and communicate with customers

  • You'll be able to maximize your number of followers through your interactions. Share your family, friends, and network with your professional page or account and invite everyone to join you. The larger your number of followers, the more significant your company is going to look!

  • Maintain with your guests in touch. Encourage them to tag you and, if it is appropriate, tag them back. Inspire them to give you their input and share their reviews on your social media site. Use your Social Media as a guest book online!

  • Answer each question, including those that are negative. Realize them as an opportunity to boost your company and show your future visitors honesty and professionalism.

Keep updated on the vacation rental market

  • Consider niche magazines or blogs, including Short Term Rentalz, Skift, or Travel Weekly, about your company. They've all got a Facebook account, at least.

  • Check providers of services like Your.Rentals, Properly, or Noise Aware. They publish deals and tips regularly to help you grow your company.

  • Don't hesitate to post them on your professional account if you notice news that might be significant for your guests as well. In this way, you can demonstrate to your guests that you have business experience and are reliable.

All of this might look like a lot of effort, and it may be time-consuming to manage social media for vacation rentals. There are social media scheduling tools; however, such as Hootsuite or Buffer, you can coordinate and plan your posts through your social media platforms, more efficiently managing your time.
