FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why
rent direct from a vacation property owner? Q: Why should I rent direct from a vacation property owner rather than a hotel, vacation rental agency, Bed and Breakfast, etc. A: In most instances, these homes are less generic appearing, far more
interesting to stay in, cleaner and better cared for, and in many cases less
expensive than the usual vacation rental options. Q: As a vacation property owner, how much will listing with your service cost me and how would I sign up if I find your pricing reasonable? A:
Click on rates in the home page menu bar for the different
promotional packages and their respective prices.
Click on "List your Rental" in the menu bar to have your
vacation rental home included on this web site.
The whole process takes 5 - 10 minutes and your listing will be online in
just a day or two. Q: Why should I spend my advertising dollars with Charleston Vacation Rentals by Owner as opposed to other promotional methods? A:
We are an inexpensive and highly effective (41 cents a day) means of
reaching your target market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Q: I am already on another site, why should I list with you too? A:
The well known axiom of "don't put all of your eggs in one
basket" is particularly true in advertising.
An effective ad campaign utilizes different medias to reach it's target
market. Not only do we index the major search engines in a timely manner like
other sites do, we are the ONLY vacation rental by owner web site concentrating
solely on the Charleston area. Rhetorical question: Will I be more
successful on a global vacation rental site receiving hundred's of thousands of
hits monthly from travelers shopping for vacation destinations all over the
globe or better off on the Charleston Vacation Rental by Owner's site with it's
thousands of monthly hits from people shopping for lodgings in the Charleston
area? Q: Why would I spend extra money for my own web page when a classified listing would work almost as well? A:
In this instance, a picture truly is worth a thousand words. Including web page text
and pictures of your vacation property is 10 times more effective in attracting
renters than classified advertising and costs only pennies per inquiry to run
annually, while the typical classified listing could cost $40-$50+ per inquiry
to run for just 2 to 4 weeks. Vacation property management companies understand
this dynamic and utilize it, because it works. Untold amounts of money have been
spent over the years mailing costly color catalogues of their rental properties
to their potential customers. Q: Can you recommend someone to create my web page. A: We can create your web page with text and 3 color photographs for a one time charge of only $75. Click here for details: Q: Do I have any flexibility if I only want to rent my vacation home a few months out of the year and don't want to be bothered the rest of the time with telling people it is not for rent. A:
For a nominal extra charge, you can list a calendar that shows rental
availability, or we can make your web page appear or disappear on our web site as
it suits your needs. Copyright © 2000-2007 CVRBO.com, All rights reserved. |
