Anyone noticing the VRBO ads?
I'm watching the playoff games today, and it seems every few minutes there's a VRBO commercial....
They aren't mentioning AirBnB by name but they show a couple staying in a trailer where nothing works and then a couple staying in a really nice house with an outdoor rain shower, BBQ, pool , etc.....And the wording underneath says - 'Private Residence'. Pointing out that Air allows people to rent out anything.
They also focus on a host/guest calling into customer support and they promise a real person will answer within a minute...Wow!
I remember a couple years ago they ran a Superbowl ad and were followed up with a large gain in market share...let's see what this does, but it sure won't hurt them. As y'all know, I was never a fan of Air, and I feel that this is them getting exactly what they deserve, lol..it's fun to watch.

VRBO is definitely the lesser of the two evils!
