Where to market for short-term corporate renters?

[Noam Birnbaum]

Hi folks,

A family member owns a very large home in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's really an amazing property: Six bedrooms, 6,000 square feet, with a heated pool and a stunning landscape and views. It's an easy commute into San Francisco via either car or BART.

The municipality in which it's located does not allow short-term vacation rentals that are less than 30 days in duration.

They've been renting it on AirBnb with moderate success, but most AirBnb users are looking for shorter stays.

They've also noticed that the guests who treat the place well, are willing to pay full price, most enjoy their stays, and leave the best reviews are corporate guests who are in town for short-term business opportunities.

Where would you recommend marketing this property to attract more short-term corporate guests for stays of 30+ days?

Thanks! :-)

Try contacting the companies h.r. department directly.  I've done it about 100 times.  It's worked once.  You'll have better luck contacting a project manager, superintendent or foreman.  I've done it about 100 times, it's worked more than 50 times.  But I deal with refinery ruffians in the midwest, not some namby pamby San Francisco type of people.
