Selling Lifestyle, Location and Relaxation in your Airbnb Photography

Here are 7 easy steps that will take your Airbnb, VRBO or Vacation Rental property to the next level.

Staging

Quality staging elevates your vacation rental property!

Staging your Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental might seem daunting. Knowing where to start and what ideas to bring to the table is tough. Here are a few thoughts that past clients have used successfully.

  • Wine Setting - Utilize a few wine glasses, a bottle of wine, and a serving tray to elevate the detailed photography of your Airbnb. If possible include additional items such as grapes, cheese wedges, or a decorative serving tray.

  • Games - Offer your guests items such as board games, outdoor activities, or billiard games. Consider offering a movie night experience such as popcorn machines and an inexpensive wall projector off amazon. Create ways to promote bonding and lasting memories with your clients and your Airbnb will stand out from the rest!

Leading Photos

Keeping viewers scrolling through your listing photos increasing booking rates!

Creating photographs that serve as a teaser of “what's to come” helps elevate your listing from the others. Serving as a movie trailer through photos is important, as is the viewer's desire to finish seeing the entirety of the listing that is posted. Utilizing intentional photography that keeps the viewer scrolling and not deviating away to another competitor listing in the area is extremely important. This is why I have curated a specific type of photo that caters specifically to this need!

  • Open doors leading into bedrooms

  • Open doors leading into the entryway of a home

  • Open patio doors leading to outdoor spaces of the home

  • Open doors leading to bathrooms

Property Size

From Opulent to Quaint. All properties deserve a high level of marketing!

“But my Airbnb isn’t that big” or “My property doesn’t have that much to offer..” Let’s shift that focus! Any Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental property can generate steady income. The generation of a perfect marketing arsenal is what’s required to “turn the light switch on” for a revenue-generating portfolio. Whether your home is 7,000 square feet or 700 square feet, this Airbnb dedicated photography package will apply to ANY size or location and amplify what the home has to offer. I have photographed hundreds of Airbnb properties from small single condo units up to multi-million dollar homes and every property can deliver epic photography.

Lifestyle Photography

Detail shots matter! Selling the lifestyle that your property offers can make or break the sale.

You’ve poured your heart and soul into preparing this property. You’ve given all the attention to detail that you can muster, so let's focus on that! Coupling the standard wide-angle photography with a tighter focal length showcases the property's lifestyle and brings breath & warmth to the home. Showcasing a seating area located near a fireplace or perhaps a vinyl player that adds pizazz to the visitor's experience. Each of these photos is intended to be sprinkled throughout that listing's portfolio as well as offer the owners a multi-use marketing piece for content across any platform. Turn these photos into a teaser social media post, or use them as a banner across a custom website for the listing.

Name Your Listing

Give your property life, by giving it a personality

Destination properties with personality and soul are proven to deliver higher booking rates than standard cookie-cutter rentals. Each home has something unique to deliver, and leveraging that for a play on marketing is a key catalyst to booking more clients. Additionally, naming your home paves the way for other marketing funnels such as quirky social media handles, web domains, and more! The name can be used in a whimsical fashion to reflect the home’s overall theme or perhaps its location such as the city or the city’s nickname. Creating a digital footprint using this form of marketing can help elevate your vacation rental above the others.

Twilight Photography

Stun viewers with the awe of your home during the twilight hour

Bring your Airbnb to the top of the list by attracting viewers' eyes immediately to your home by utilizing the twilight photos that are included in your photography session. Epic evening lighting, fire pits, pool lighting, landscape lighting, and sunsets all come together to make content that specifically rises you to the top. If your listing doesn’t have a pool or fire pit, don’t fret, there are always multiple ways to approach a home's evening twilight photos. Perhaps candles on an outdoor dining table set for guests with wine glasses can be utilized. The ideas and options are endless, all that’s needed is a little bit of creativity.

Bathroom Spa

Turn your bathrooms into a spa for your guests.

This is something that is very easy to achieve and translates extremely well into the photography of your Airbnb listing. Everyone likes the idea of a day trip to a spa. Simple tasks such as rolling up hand towels and stacking in sets of 3, strategically placing bath towels near a shower or tub with a small green succulent, small jars of bath salts or q-tips, and other toiletries can contribute to the indication that this vacation rental is in fact its own tranquil destination spa.

Keep It Evergreen

Utilize your Airbnb photography in more than one way.

Keep a handful of seasonal items on hand at your listing. This can provide multiple opportunities to keep your listing evergreen and update photos as the year progresses. Additionally, local events such as the Superbowl offer a phenomenal opportunity to utilize items such as a football, chips and salsa, etc. For spring months perhaps highlight local hiking trails and showcase a pair of hiking boots, trekking poles and a nalgene bottle. Along with posting these types of fun photos on your listing you can also repurpose vacation rental photography to build out a social media channel. Each photograph offers an opportunity to advertise and target a local demographic. Building out a social media channel to push your vacation rental is an investment into new and returning customers. Create a custom hashtag for your home and post it on a flyer inside the residence inviting guests to hashtag and post their adventures. This helps create community, fosters memories and generates marketing for your channel.

 

Create a Social Media account for your Airbnb, VRBO, Vacation Rental

Utilizing a quirky name for your vacation rental can help generate an entire brand behind the property. Each home offers a unique opportunity to begin your journey into destination marketing. A great suggestion for generating content to fuel this channel is to place a small countertop chalk board in the home, simply write a message welcoming the guest and by inviting them to take photos of their vacation and tag the airbnb’s handle and use the hashtag for the property in their adventures. Example: “We had such a fun time at the @pricklypearparadise airbnb! Our favorite passtime was enjoying hot chocolate and s’mores out by the firepit! We will definitely be back soon for another visit! #pricklypearparadise”
