Another new year is with us, and that means resolutions for many. If you\u2019ve made some, are you sticking with them? Moreover, have you made any that relate to your holiday let blog?<\/p>\n
If not, it\u2019s not too late to start. You can achieve many things this year with your holiday rental blog and social media efforts. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, we\u2019ve provided a few suggestions below.<\/p>\n
Post more regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n How often did you add content to your blog in 2016? Could you improve on that in 2017? If you did post regularly, what could you do to improve further? Maybe mix up the length of your posts and see which ones performed best last year, to inspire further content this year.<\/p>\n Use more photos<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you neglecting visual content? People respond to great photos. They can trigger emotional responses. Get it right and you could inspire more people to enquire about booking. Don\u2019t forget to include pics of nearby attractions and events as well as those featuring your holiday property.<\/p>\n Balance words and pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n Ideally, you want a good mix of words and pictures \u2013 on your blog and on your social media pages. Try and ensure every post has at least one photo or other image to represent it.<\/p>\n Look over your blog monthly (at least)<\/strong><\/p>\n Staying in touch with your blog is a great idea. By this, we mean taking a quick look at it to see whether anything (good or bad) pops out at you.<\/p>\n Get onto social media more often<\/strong><\/p>\n Start by creating a schedule if you don\u2019t already have one. Every time you post something new on your holiday rental blog, add an update to each social media site you are active on.<\/p>\n Focus on seasons and special events<\/strong><\/p>\n Valentine\u2019s Day, Easter, school holidays, and any events specific to the area where your holiday let property is located. All these can inspire special deals, blog posts and other material that might inspire people to make a booking.<\/p>\n Check your content before you publish it<\/strong><\/p>\n This gives you a chance to improve on it before it is unleashed for the world at large to see. If you rarely edit, make this the year you start. It could make a huge difference to the quality of your content and attract more followers too.<\/p>\n What will you do this year that you didn\u2019t last year?<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe you\u2019ve thought of something else you could do that isn\u2019t on the list above. Perhaps something inspired you to try something different. Or maybe you\u2019ve chosen one or two of the above items to tackle this year.<\/p>\n Whatever you do, make sure you start 2017 as you mean to go on. If you want to reach the end of this year with more bookings and greater success than you achieved last year, it is within your grasp.<\/p>\n What will you do to boost the success of your holiday let in 2017?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another new year is with us, and that means resolutions for many.
