| Why should I list my vacation home on Villa-World? |
|
The concept of advertising and marketing of vacation rental properties has been revolutionized with the popularity of the Internet. On Villa-World for example, you can provide comprehensive details about your property, display full-color photos, rental rates, show the property availability calendar, see what guest have written in the guest book and provide links to other local travel information and even book the property on-line directly with the homeowner and all this to a global market place.
As an owner, you have several options for advertising your property. You could print a brochure or advertise in a newspaper or even create and maintain your own Web site which would give you complete control over all aspects of your Internet advertising. However, whether you develop the site yourself or employ a team of web developers it can be a costly and time consuming business to build a web site, especially one that has a Management Booking System that provides online booking and automated communications such as can be found on the Villa-World site.
Another option is to list your property with Villa-World and take advantage of a website that was designed with a host of practical and functional features that make this site stand out from the rest.
Villa-World sets new standards in web marketing and was specifically designed with property owners in mind as the ultimate vacation rental site. More than three years of design and development have been undertaken to ensure that this site addresses all of the requirements that owners’ have in order to ensure their home is presented in an uncomplicated professional manner, resulting in a constantly booked property.
Other options include:
| Cost-effectiveness |
Advertise your property all year at a fraction of the price of a limited run of print advertising. |
| Scope and Range |
Extend your scope of advertising far beyond the reach of local or regional newspapers and capture the attention of a world wide audience. |
| Targeted audience |
Your property can be seen daily by thousands of qualified viewers who are already pre-disposed to rent a vacation property. |
| Ongoing marketing |
Villa-World has a policy of investing substantial sums in continuous improvement and marketing of its sites in order to attract new visitors and welcome return visitors. You can only benefit from our efforts and marketing. |
As a property owner you can choose to advertise on just one vacation rental website, but because advertising on the web is so cost-effective, it makes perfect sense to advertise on two, three or more sites. Very often visitors looking for a rental property usually visit more than one site—so you can cost-effectively multiply your booking potential by listing with other sites.

|
|
| Can inquiries/bookings go to a different email address? |
|
Villa-World allows you to setup up a primary and two further secondary names and different email address for inquiries/bookings on each property listed.
These name and addresses will be automatically used by the system whenever Emails or correspondence has either been sent to or received from a potential guest or visitor.
A typical example for use of this would be to set the primary contact as the property owner, the secondary contact as the management company and a third contact can be added if required.
This keeps everyone in the loop as far as communications go and eliminates confusion.
