How do we link our listings to social media and other ways to promote?

41

I’m using the following sources:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/jan_jord (feel free to follow me :wink: )

I have created my own website and a Facebook business page.

I’ve also added my properties to Google business (https://www.google.com/business/) and Google maps, this gives some traffic to my property website, especially from local audience.

I’ve also added my properties to so many trusted vacation rental sites as possible, including Flipkey, Roomorama, Wimdu, Holidaylettings, Tripadvisor and other good alternatives to Airbnb. More exposure gives more inquries and bookings.

I’m trying to tie everything together by linking between the different websites and sources.

@jaquo I have a question about using facebook and will hope to get a lot of opinions.

Do you setup a new FB account and start with no friends but accept anyone’s friend request OR create a FB page using your personal account and ask folks to like it.

I’ve found that it’s easy to share instagram photos to an account but not to a page.

I love the photos on your instagram account. My instagram account is:
https://www.instagram.com/hiddenhavenlodge/

Obviously not a lot of pictures yet of the inside till I finish the reno work.

Hi @HiddenHaven - I didn’t set up a FB account for our listing but that is because I have a local FB page (and Twitter account) that has loads of followers - including out of towners who want to come to stay in the area.

Every so often though I share our listing on my personal account.

Thanks so much for your comments about Instagram :slight_smile:

Instagram is a great tool for networking and marketing, and several of our guests now have posted pictures from their stays here and linked to us. Our Instagram page is http://instagram.com/seldomscenefarm and FB is Seldom Scene Farm.Seldomscenefarm

@Lucky
What a beautiful place!

I’d love to know a little more about what parts are new and what parts are restored 1812 parts if you have the time.

Thank you! Anywhere you see the logs are original… it started as a one-room cabin in the early 1800’s, then a second cabin was built with a “dog trot” between. Each generation of the family added on something. My husband made a few cursory improvements to make it livable when he bought the place in 1987- he added indoor plumbing! (We left the two-hole outhouse out back ;). During the recent 13-month renovation, we added the new bathroom, kitchen and dining area as well as entry.
