Creative marketing strategies for increasing bookings?

[Kyle Hauge]

Hi all,

Fairly new investor here, wanted to check around to see if anyone has any creative or out of the box strategies when it comes to helping to generate bookings, particularly during slow season?  I'm already doing all the typical booking sites online (AirBNB, VRBO, etc.), but curious if anyone has had success finding additional ways to drive rental growth in your community or demographic?

thanks

I hand out pens with my information on it to all potential renters.  In October-December I give out a calendar for next year that is demographically appropriate for the people that rent from me.  The message on the pen and calendar is:

FURNISHED HOUSES IN COFFEYVILLE KS

ALL BILLS PAID - WEEKLY RENTAL RATES

BETTER CALL PAUL  XXX-XXX-XXXX

Demographically appropriate is scantily women doing construction.  I'd rather do nudes, but my other half doesn't like them.

I've also mailed out my flyers and a cover letter to every welding school and refinery in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
