As vacation home rental managers, we all face a unique set of challenges on a daily basis from the individuality of our inventory to competition from VRBOs to the unprecedented increase in supply and decrease in demand concerning vacation home rentals.
TheSociety.com is proud to be affiliated with VRMA which represents over 600 property management and associate members in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, representing approximately 150,000 vacation rental homes, condos and villas. VRMA members represent the leading vacation rental management firms in North America.
The 25th Annual Conference is scheduled for later this month in Washington D.C. The annual meeting is one of the most important and educational opportunities you can partake as a property/estate vacation rental manager.
Of particular interest this year are the following seminars most appropriate for today’s challenging marketplace:
- Emerging Lifestyle and Travel Trends: Implications for Marketing Vacation Home Rentals in the Year Ahead.
- Industry Trends for Executives
- Yield/Revenue Management; Enter the Mainstream of Travel
- E-Mail Marketing; From Lead Capture to Conversion
- How to Maximize the Impact and Attractiveness of your Property Listing
The above are just a sampling of the many programs and seminars available to participants.
