I agree with you. Vacation property owners should market their listings like show homes. Otherwise, why would anyone want to vacation there? <em>Valerie Moloney's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Vacationhomerentals/~3/374855760/' rel="nofollow">Selling a Dream Vacation Home Rental via Photos</a></em> Thanks for the comment on our blog (www.vacationhomerentals.com/blog).

I think the low season is “the scary time” for all vacation rental owners, but it’s also a good time to plan and implement all the improvements we had in mind earlier. I agree with John that it’s an ideal moment to improve and update our listings. Things to do and attractions vary depending on the season, so why not to change our description and write about the fall/winter season? As for tuning up our marketing efforts, it might be a good time to upload more seasonal pictures or a video of our property. Recently I wrote my blog post about using video as a promotional tool: http://blog.rentalo.com/owners/2008/08/the-power-of-video-and-youtube-community-building/ . Hope you will find it interesting.

Sometimes it seems as if someone just pulled the "inquiry" plug right out of the wall and or turned the pipeline off! Not to worry, just take advantage of the down time to make repairs, tweek your marketing and update your listings...all the things that you just had no time for in the peak season.
