3 Ways to Increase Short-Term Rental Income This Season

When executed properly, property ownership with short-term rental potential is a valuable income stream. Whether you are planning to use this income to pay for second-home operational costs or save up to invest in a third or fourth investment, the recommended first step of short-term rental ownership is to decide upon a full-service property management solution. 

This article will review routes that Beach Vacations exercises to increase short-term rental income this season.  

Consider the Impact of Traveler Trends

Traveler trends are heavily impacted by several different factors. Experts such as Expedia and TripAdvisor spend endless hours creating extensive reports to predict the future of travel, particularly so for U.S. travel in 2021. Suffice to say, the research and analysis of these wide-ranging trends is a daunting task for anyone, let alone individual owners. 

What qualifies as a factor impacting traveler trends? And which of those factors affect the pricing and occupancy rates of your property? Below are a few of the most common determinants: 

  • Length of stay 
  • Traveler age and audience
  • Transportation and price of gas
  • Geographic location 

It is crucial that all traveler statistics and trends are taken into consideration when setting up marketing campaigns and revenue models for spring 2021 and beyond. The Beach Vacations revenue management strategy in particular relies heavily on the factors listed above and how they affect traveler trends. 

Without the right data and expert analysis of previous pricing history, riding the wave of traveler trends is a challenge. 

So, what’s the right strategy to stay on top of these trends? Beach Vacation’s full-service property management includes the support of an in-house team of revenue managers with more than 20 years of combined vacation rental pricing experience. The combination of technology, people power and years of experience in adaptable property management skills are invaluable in the process.
