With endless opportunities, be sure not to leave Las Vegas without experiencing a few things:
While rooms can be found at discounted rates, why not gain a little privacy and stay at a vacation rental where you may lie beside your own pool in peace and quiet and really enjoy your down time. Be sure to check out our Mini-Castle collection, a group of 4 gated estates just minutes from The Strip. Complete with luxury amenities and incomparable privacy, with the option of an on-site babysitting/nanny service, you are not likely to book another hotel.

We hear the same comment about once a week “We are looking for an unspoiled getaway. We want the Caribbean and Mexico as it was before the high-rises and all-inclusive resorts dotted the landscape. We want the unique yet with all the luxuries intact.” We suggest a few opportunities “south of the border….of Mexico”.
As the chill sets in and we prepare for Christmas, our neighbors in Central America are offering many opportunities to escape the snow and cold. From a resort in Belize accessible by boat to an estate in Panama to a flat in Costa Rica, we have options from the Caribbean to the Pacific available through the winter season. Even if you missed the booking window for Christmas, it’s going to be a long winter (which by the way officially began on Monday, Dec. 21st) so do not delay because as we enter the ice-box up north, in Central America, it’s just heating up.
Once the domain of tweens and teens, Facebook has become a worldwide phenomenon, just one component of the genre we now call “social media”. Many of our clients may know The Society is on Facebook and we offer options via our Global Bundle to promote via Facebook. Yet, we at The Society are also statisticians and well attired marketing geeks. We ran across the following concerning Facebook and wish to share it with our property manager and vacation homeowner audience.
Younger men and older adults flock to site.
Facebook may have started as a site geared toward the college crowd, but as the most popular social network in the US, it has broadened its user base considerably. The Nielsen Company reported that in June 2009 Facebook had a unique US audience of more than 87 million people, compared with fewer than 63 million who visited MySpace that month.
According to Inside Facebook, the fastest-growing group of users in August 2009 were males ages 13 to 17, whose numbers increased by 14.5%, followed by men ages 45 to 54, rising 12.8%. Among women, the highest growth was in the 45 to 54 and 55 to 65 age ranges, which were up 11.8% and 11%, respectively.
Female Facebook users of all ages outnumber their male counterparts. But new male users flocked to the social network at a faster rate than females in almost every age group, tightening the site’s gender gap somewhat.
Inside Facebook reported that 57% of the site’s users, or about 45.4 million people, were women, compared with some 34.3 million who were men.
The largest block of Facebook users is still ages 18 to 25, followed by 26-to-34-year-olds. Taken together, those groups made up 51% of the user population. But young adults also have the lowest rates of uptake, indicating that the age disparity may continue to close, along with the gender gap.
Considering the baby-boomer and Generation X demographic growth of eyeballs i.e. with the money to spend on vacations with family and friends, now, will you consider Facebook?
Coming off the summer 2009 vacation season, there were glimmers of hope on the horizon. The term “staycation”, popular amid the depths of the economic downturn during the first quarter of 2009 seemed to slowly be eradicated from the popular press. Hotels and resorts lured clients by offering $99/night rates with value-added amenities thrown in (children eat free at Ritz-Carlton). Gas prices stabilized with a national average of $2.49/gallon a 37% decrease when compared to July 2008. Better economic news was the catalyst to spur travelers to consider at minimum a short vacation within their drive-time markets. Those opting for air travel were surprised by higher air-fares (due to reduction in capacity) and an increase in over-sold flights.
The following White Paper recognizes the changing outlook concerning vacation culture.
The acceptance of “last-minute bookings” as the new normal
Reduced rates/REVPAR (Revenue Per Available Room Night) for the foreseeable future
Increase in incentive/corporate travel as businesses exit the recession
The value orientation proposition
Even during the past two quarters of economic uncertainty, the growing popularity of vacation home rentals continues. Although supply has exceeded demand at present, future growth coupled with a diversity of supply worldwide may provide a healthy balance in the marketplace.
There are many options on the web to expose your vacation rental. Many begin by using their social networking connections to expose their rental to family and friends (be forewarned, they will be asking for a stay discounted or gratis). Others may consider sites including Vacation Rental by Owner which due to its ever increasing volume is cluttered and confusing.
At TheSociety.com we have been most proactive concerning marketing via the Internet. Our newest product, The Global Bundle has received tremendous response. The Bundle offers vacation homeowners the option to target specific audiences from deluxe and luxury vacationers to those residing in feeder markets to your destination. With exposure options including LuxuryRealEstate.com, WSJ Online, HomeAway.com, LuxuryTravelMagazine.com and other sites, you can opt for the full Bundle or consider an a’la carte package. No matter what options are chosen, we guarantee excellent exposure and all requests are routed to you directly for you to screen, review and respond to.
“Before the Global Bundle I had my beach house in the Hamptons listed by local brokers advising they had the lock on the market for vacation rentals. After a dismal season, I opted for the Global Bundle. Within 48 hours, I had received multiple rental requests and the first booking paid for the Global Bundle+”. East Hampton, New York
TheSociety.com is well respected for their “white papers” concerning the many challenges in today’s marketplace concerning the marketing, promotion and recognition of luxury vacation rental homes and resorts. While many entities have embraced the “discounting mantra”, we do not agree with this.
According to Michael McFadden, Co-Founder of TheSociety.com: “The pie {supply} has gotten bigger yet demand remains stagnant i.e. vacationers are on a diet. Once an entity embraces the discounting manta, two issues arise, a potential loss of prestige and the inability to raise rates when demand returns.”
Our newest White Paper “Do Not Let Your Winter Bookings Hibernate” offers an overview of the present marketplace, future forecasts and most importantly 12 marketing ideas to increase your REVPAR and procure a loyal clientele.
Please e-mail us with your contact information at info@thesociety.com if you would like to be notified when the white paper is released. Please place “white paper” in RE line.
