Problems
Solutions
You & your team just don’t have the time to create compelling email marketing campaigns.
Are you taking the time to review email campaign data to determine the best time of the day, time of the year or frequency to send your campaigns?
Utilize a team of vacation rental email marketing specialists to create a plan of attack for you.
By reviewing the data from your email marketing campaigns, our team will put together an email marketing plan to target your guests to increase return bookings as well as new bookings.
Your email campaigns aren’t resonating with your target audience as well as expected.
As a busy vacation rental manager you aren’t able to spend the time needed to properly segment your emails and target each audience effectively leading to lower click through rates and few bookings.
Effectively segmenting your audience can lead to great results
We create engaging, impactful email campaigns that are tailored to your audience and utilize personalization for the best results.
You have a small subscriber list or non-existent list of marketable contacts
If you’ve been depending on OTAs for bookings for a long time, then your list is likely not very robust. You’ll need to spend some time and effort building up that list with fresh, active subscribers in order to drive more direct bookings.
Allow our team to design and create a lead gen magnet that will boost your subscriber count.
We’ll utilize any current assets you have (or craft new content) and create a downloadable guide that will encourage site visitors to leave their information with you, allowing you to market to them in the future.

How can email marketing help my vacation rental company?
Email marketing helps you to develop a one-on-one relationship with your guests. You can:

- Maximize guest retention by sharing the fantastic features of your other properties with satisfied guests to encourage them to book with you again.
- Gain new guests from the OTAs and then add them to your marketing lifecycle.
- Increase brand loyalty by using an authentic, conversational tone to create a direct line of communication.
What is included in vacation rental email marketing services?
Email campaigns tend to include a newsletter style campaign that brings attention to your business, destination, and properties. Other types of campaigns like re-engagement, promotions, property showcases and more, can be included as well.
How many emails (or how often) should we send?
We don’t want to overwhelm your list with too many emails so we’ll run a series of tests to figure out the best time of month, or week, to send your campaigns along with the frequency and what time of the day works best.
How much does email marketing cost?
The cost of email marketing services varies depending on how many email campaigns you want to send each month. We don’t want to overwhelm your list so we’ll run a series of tests to figure out the best time of month, or week, to send your campaigns along with the frequency and what time of the day works best.
Does it matter what email marketing platform we use?
Nope! Our team has experience with several platforms like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Klaviyo, Zoho Campaigns and more.
What if we don’t have an email marketing platform now?
No problem. We can recommend several options that work best for your budget and level of comfort with the platforms.
When will I see results?
The dreaded “it depends” answer. This has a lot to do with your destination, how your email list was curated and how many subscribers you have in your list. Each market is different and has different tendencies.
Are design and copywriting services included?
Yes! Our travel copywriters will be sure your email contains the most relevant travel information and pertains to your destination to ensure you’re getting the best conversion rates possible.
Do I need a blog or content landing pages to send visitors to?
Not necessarily, although it is valuable to have information that we can share with your subscribers to encourage them to book a stay at your destination. If you want a blog, our dev team can create one for you. We can also create new content for your website, if needed.
Do we have to sign a contract?
No contract. We’re confident that our email services will perform well but if you’re not happy you can cancel with 30 days notice.
Do you provide monthly updates on how well our email campaigns are performing?
Of course! We’re very transparent and will meet with someone from your team each month and explain what’s working currently and strategize what could be incorporated into the campaign in the future.
