Attention: Property Owners!
The benefits of having a listing on VPOdirect:
1. The vacationer talks and books directly with you. No hidden phone number or e-mail address.
2. A lot of vacationers are not aware of the service fee that the big listing sites charge. We stress the fees in all of our advertising and marketing along with the other benefits of booking directly with you, the property owner.
3. We also stress to vacationers that when they book directly with the owner that they are also helping a small business and their family. In this Covid-19 environment vacationers would prefer to help the small business owner versus a big listing site.
4. With your 1-year subscription we will list up to 5 of your properties for no additional charge and any added properties over 5 would only be an additional $25 per year.
Our service is all about attracting vacationers to our website and then in turn driving that traffic to your website where they can book directly with you.
No middleman, so no hidden email address or guest information. You can talk to and get to know your guests before they book with you.
You get up to five properties with your annual subscription and after five it's on $25 per each additional property listing.
We don't have to compete with the big boys, we just need to get a fraction of the traffic that these companies get for you to have success. These big sites are saturated and you'll get a lot more inquiries and bookings competing against just a few thousand listings versus competing against hundreds of thousands of other properties on sites like VRBO and Airbnb.
We use targeted email and social media to drive vacationers to our website. They then find your property listing, click on your link and that takes them directly to your website where they inquire and book with you directly.
Yes, a personal property website is required as we will not link to your VRBO or any other listing type service.
We can build a website for you for a very reasonable fee as part of one of our packages.
Yes, we will review your website to make sure that there is a fit in regards to what you have and what we are trying to offer. We will not allow sloppy and outdated websites.
No, we will not link to your listing on VRBO or any other listing site. You are required to have your own website for your property or properties to be listed on our website.
No, there will be NO tiers or packages where someone who purchases the top tier plan gets more exposure than someone on a lower tier plan. Everyone will pay the same annual fee!
If you go to your VRBO app on your phone and select a certain area, you will be able to see how many properties are available for rent in that area. For example, if you pull up Destin, FL you will get 11,000 plus properties for rent. We will only allow 1.5% of an area's total properties to be listed on our website. So for Destin, using the 1.5% figure we would only list a total of 165 rentals on our website for that entire area. That same 1.5% would apply to any area where we have properties listed.
