Practical strategies to increase occupancy and revenue for your house or villa.
1. Professional photos — invest in a photographer. It pays for itself.
2. Reply fast — answering within the hour makes closing far more likely.
3. Accept Pix and card — switch on online payments and stop losing bookings for want of a payment method.
4. Dynamic pricing — raise prices on holidays and lower them on low-demand dates.
5. Ask for reviews — happy guests refer others. Ask formally after check-out.
6. Be on Google Business — create a free profile with your booking link.
7. Post on social media — show the before and after of a clean, the view, the sunset.
8. Discount for returning guests — offer 10% off to anyone who has stayed before.
9. Season packages — create 3-night packages at a special price.
10. Do not leave dates empty — use the Rezvia alerts and contact past clients when there are gaps in your calendar.
Word of mouth remains a strong, cheap channel: a satisfied guest tends to recommend the property to people who trust them — and that recommendation arrives with no advertising cost.
