Our formula for success for a fully booked rental calendar

What makes a rental calendar successful?

A successful rental calendar goes beyond simply filling in blank dates. It is all about:

• Consistent demand: Attracting a wide and diverse audience looking for your services.
• Quality of tenants: Attracting trusted customers who recognise the value of your offering.
• Optimisation: Maximising revenue through dynamic pricing strategies and smart planning.

The basis of our experience

We focus on three pillars: visibility, conversion optimisation and customer loyalty. Here, we explain each pillar in detail.

1. Visibility: reach the right audience

To fill up a rental calendar, you need to be seen by potential tenants. This starts with a strong online presence and deploying various marketing channels.

• SEO and content marketing: A well-optimised website is essential. By using targeted keywords (such as "luxury holiday rentals in Amsterdam" or "unique event venues in Rotterdam"), you ensure you rank high in search results. Blogs, videos and case studies can help demonstrate your expertise and build trust.
• Paid advertisements: Google Ads and social media campaigns help you reach a wider audience quickly. Target based on demographics, location and interests to attract the right tenants.

2. Optimised booking process: make booking easy

High visibility means nothing without a seamless user experience. Optimising the booking process is crucial to convert potential renters into paying customers.

• User-friendly website: Make sure your website loads quickly, navigates easily and is mobile-friendly. More than half of all online bookings are made via mobile devices.
• Clear information: Potential tenants want to know exactly what they are getting. Describe your offer clearly, use professional photos and add customer reviews.
• Dynamic prices: Consider a flexible pricing model that takes into account supply and demand. For instance, you can charge higher rates during peak seasons and offer discounts for quiet periods.
• Easy payment: Make the payment process as simple as possible by offering multiple options such as credit card, PayPal or even post-payment.

3. Customer loyalty: build repeat customers

A fully booked rental calendar does not only depend on new customers; returning tenants form a stable base. Building customer loyalty is therefore an important part of our strategy.

• Customer service: Make your customers feel valued, from the first contact until after their stay or use. Prompt and friendly communication makes all the difference.
• Loyalty programmes: Offer discounts or extra benefits to returning tenants. This can range from exclusive offers to gifts on their next booking.
• Follow-ups: Send a thank-you email after the rental is over with an invitation to leave a review. This strengthens customer relations and helps attract new tenants.
• Email marketing: Keep in touch with your tenants through newsletters with offers, news and inspiring stories.
