5 Steps To Help Rent Out Your Cottage In Wasaga Beach

Take time over the Christmas Holidays to ensure your cottage in Wasaga Beach rents out successfully in 2010

  1. Create a web site. Advertising on the internet is a must. Join sites that focus on cottage rentals and have a Wasaga Beach section. Make sure visitors to your web site can easily find how to contact you by phone and email.
  2. A picture is worth a thousand words. Internet readers “scan” pages and don’t read every word. Include lots of decent quality photos to attract their attention.
  3. Reply to enquiries quickly. You are in competition with other cottage owners  for a limited number of renters. Answer quickly and try to get the booking before the competition has even responded. The renter will feel you value their business and will be impressed with the service.
  4. Price realistically. Please, please don’t “buy” the business by being the cheapest and subsidizing your renters holiday. BUT do set a rate that is competitive with the competition whilst reflecting the unique selling points your cottage can offer. Renters expect to pay more a larger cottage, waterfront location in Wasaga Beach etc.
  5. Have various payment methods. Open a PayPal account to accept credit cards so renters feel more comfortable handing over their money.t
