Why should I partner my vacation rental with other local businesses?
Partnering your vacation rental with other local business allows you to offer your guests a wider range of services and experiences. These agreements with local businesses offer significant advantages for both parties. We are talking about increased brand visibility, improved guest experience and a derivative increase in bookings.
In addition, local businesses that partner and support each other within the community often show greater growth.
Therefore, if you are a tourist accommodation owner we recommend that you partner with other businesses in the area and encourage you to offer new personalised experiences to your guests. These can be restaurants, cafes, shops and all kinds of businesses that offer a product or service that may be of interest to your guests.
Here are all the benefits of associating your vacation rental home with other local business.
Benefits of partnering your vacation home with local businesses
Increase your vacation rental bookings
Offer unique experiences with the support of other local businesses in your area. This way you can improve the user experience, avoid bad reviews from guests and as a result, increase bookings for your vacation rental.
These are actions that naturally lead to increased profit margins for the owners, helping them to make more profit from each booking.
You can also increase your revenue for each booking independently by offering experience packs for an extra fee: early check-in or late check-out, welcome packs and even romance packs, etc. Also, as an owner, this will not require any additional effort on your part as the offer of these experiences can be done automatically and 100% digitally during the online check-in process.
Increased brand visibility
Partnering your vacation rental with local businesses is an excellent way to get more visibility for your brand. As mentioned above, and focusing on owners of tourist accommodation, local businesses that offer tourist activities, workshops, restaurants or shops would be interesting. In addition, you can reach advantageous agreements and offer discounts that help to capture the guests attention.
Improve the guest experience
Guests often arrive at the vacation rental location without a 100% established plan. Therefore, having the owner provide them with a welcome guide to the accommodation, including a list of local experiences and businesses to visit, will be highly appreciated by guests.
Improve the prosperity of the local community
Associating your vacation rental with local businesses will help you convey a sense of a close-knit community in your area. This can certainly add value to your holiday home.
