Here’s how you can figure out how to get more bookings for your vacation home in Mexico – note: Photos matter.
When we ask guests “what do you look for in your Mexican stays,” we often get the same answer: great photos. And we agree!
While there are many factors in the booking process, after price and reviews, photos are most important to guests when deciding whether or not to book a vacation home with you. In fact, 60% of listing views start with a guest clicking on a photo, and over 40% of the time when a guest chooses not to book a listing, the last thing they clicked on was a photo. So photos matter, and they should be as good as possible.
How to Take Better Photos of Your Vacation Home in Mexico To Get More Bookings
To help you take better photos, here are some simple tips we’ve learned over the years:
1) Lighting is everything. Keep your photos well-lit by using natural lighting whenever possible. We recommend taking photos early in the morning or during sunset so that there’s less glare on objects in the photo. Also, make sure that your room’s lights aren’t too bright—you want it to look like an inviting place to spend your vacation!
2) Your camera matters… a lot. Don’t rely on your phone’s camera alone. A high-quality camera will provide higher-quality images that are sharper and clearer.
3) Hire a professional photographer. Something as simple as professional photos can make a difference when it comes to rental rates. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. So if you want to book more clients, you need pictures that capture and convey the right message.
In summary:
Overall success as a vacation rental host depends on two factors: how well you manage your property, and how much effort you put into promoting it.
Effective hosting requires great property management (always have a clean house for your guests); proactive marketing to pull in more bookings, and building positive guest relationships.
