Travelers often plan their trips well in advance. However, occasionally, travelers will be looking at the last minute for a weekend getaway. Sedona often sees last-minute visitors, as many locals from Phoenix will want to escape the heat for a day or two. They will be looking for a last-minute lodging option that is perfect for them. Luckily, they have plenty of options, including your very own vacation rental when you list with Porter! You can help prepare for last-minute clients by finding ways to catch their attention for a Sedona last-minute getaway. Here are some ways to help:

Have High-Quality Photos

When it comes to a potential guest selecting their vacation rental, the photos will always be the best chance to make a first impression. Not only that, the photos of the property can sometimes be your only chance to make that impression. The best way to quickly catch their attention and entice them to complete the booking is by having high-quality photos. Nowadays, vacation rentals are a dime a dozen, making it harder than ever to have your property stand out from all the others. High-quality photos will give you a leg up on the competition. Specifically, owners will want desirable shots of their property that offer a glimpse into what a potential stay there will look like.

Professional photographers will be able to capture your short-term rental from the right angles to bring out the space and features in each picture. Wide shots present your vacation rental in the best way. Second, the photographs want to be held in natural lighting. Dim or unnatural lighting will not have the ability to showcase the details in the photo. Natural lighting makes the features in the photo look great and jump out from the screen.

Many individuals will want to try to take the pictures themselves. While this is a great way to save on the initial upstart cost of listing your property, you will find the results to not always be satisfactory. Trust in a highly rated photographer to do the work for you. The pictures will be what your potential renters will see right away and focus most of their attention on.

Have a Stand Out Title

Our listings feature each of our properties with a listing title that is designed to describe the property. You have the ability to develop a listing title that will attract potential clients. Keeping with a title that is traditional may not be eye catching enough to garner many last-minute eyes on your property. Instead, try out something that highlights a specific part of your home that you know renters will like to have on hand. Let your imagination run wild and find something that draws the attention you want for last minute bookings.

Create a Descriptive Listing

If your last-minute renters have got past your title listing and photos of the property, they will want to learn much more about the home. This is where you will want to have a descriptive listing that details everything they wish to know about the home. It can be helpful to feature a quick summary at the onset of your listing highlighting key points that will quickly catch the eyes of potential renters. After that, you will want to go into much more detail. Renters choose our vacation rentals because we offer some of the finest homes in all of Sedona. Travelers choose vacation rentals over hotels because they want a private property that feels like a home away from home. Let your listing go into detail on how comfortable the guests will feel and what kind of amenities they can expect to find. The more information you provide, the better, so the client knows exactly what they will be getting.

Offer a Discount for Certain Events

If you know that Sedona will be hosting a special event here in the area and your property is not yet booked, you can always add a special discount just for that weekend. Some renters may be waiting to book their property to find the best deal. By offering a last-minute deal, you can quickly gather more eyes to your home, helping them make a quick decision. By understanding Sedona better, you can make the right calls when a discount could be appropriate for your listing.
