March 31, 2006, Newsletter Issue #9: Enhancing a Holiday Rental Web Site

Tip of the Week

Give your vacation rental a proper photo shoot. If you want to rent out your place you’ll want to make it appealing to potential renters. Depending on the location of your rental, there’s a good chance that renters will shop online for a place to stay rather than traveling to their holiday destination beforehand to find one. Advertise your property on a web site and take flattering pictures of your property that will make it irresistible. Here are some tips that will help make your holiday rental shine like a star in photos:

• Regardless of the holiday, take pictures on sunny days
• To give a homely glow to a room, turn on standing lights/wall lights
• If you have a fireplace – light it
• Take pictures of nice furniture and impressive décor
• Take pictures of beautiful windows or balconies with views
• Don’t take pictures of people in your condo—you want the renters to feel like this could be a home to them, not someone else’s property
