If you are already aware of the power of social media marketing to help promote your holiday let, well done. You\u2019re already ahead of the curve. However, if you don\u2019t keep engaging with your social media audience, you\u2019ll lose out on the best benefits to be had from it.<\/p>\n

Of course it\u2019s difficult to find time in the day to devote to these tasks. But here we show you just what can be achieved in an hour a day. That\u2019s all you need to make the most of social media and to start driving more traffic to your website.<\/p>\n

Choose your channels<\/strong><\/p>\n

By channels we mean social media sites. Don\u2019t focus on too many at once. You\u2019re better off contributing to two or three in a valuable way rather than skipping from one to the other and achieving nothing. Start with Facebook and Twitter and add others if you feel it necessary.<\/p>\n

Interact and respond<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the most important thing to do in your sixty minutes a day. If people interact with your Facebook page or your Twitter account, take the opportunity to respond to them. Not only does this show them someone is monitoring the account, it shows everyone else you are there and willing to get involved.<\/p>\n

Focus on the task at hand<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we talk about using social media to market your holiday rental for an hour a day, we\u2019re not referring to slipping in a total of sixty minutes here and there. We\u2019re talking about allocating a sixty minute window \u2013 a solid hour \u2013 to your social media marketing duties.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get to find out which particular hour is best for you (and best for the people who follow you as well \u2013 more about that in a moment). Once you know when you\u2019ll slot these tasks in, you should ensure there are no other distractions to pull you away from your marketing efforts. You\u2019ll get more done when you focus.<\/p>\n

Choose the best hour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know Facebook sharing is best done on a Saturday? Did you know the best click through rate on Twitter is achieved between midday and six in the evening?<\/p>\n

This is what we mean by choosing the best hour to do your social media marketing. It might depend on the audience you are aiming for though. If your property is ideal for families with young children, you shouldn\u2019t tweet about your latest improvements to the property at 3.15pm when everyone is out doing the school run. So it might take a bit of experimentation to see which times work best for you.<\/p>\n

The crux of the matter is to pick the best hour and to make the most of it. While sixty minutes doesn\u2019t sound like a long time, it all depends on what you do with it. When used properly, social media marketing can bring in lots of potential new clients for your holiday let, so make sure you get the best from those sixty minutes.<\/p>\n
