Keep reading to find out how our corporate team supports your business objectives and sets you up for operations from day one.

Marketing Your Business

Getting the word out about your short-term vacation rental business is key to your success. Our in-house marketing team works to ensure your franchise will be seen by short-term rental property owners and rental guests at all times. How do we do this? Here are a few proven strategies:

• Create email campaigns that target or retarget prospective rental guests who have received a quote. Our remarketing efforts alone result in 3% to 4% more bookings!

• Stay active on social media platforms like Facebook, X (formally Twitter), Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, keeping the iTrip name front and center.

• Generate destination-specific content that showcases area attractions, restaurants, and things to do.

• Target property owners through post-mail drip campaigns and digital marketing (SEO, PPC, etc).

Our ongoing marketing initiatives create increased brand recognition and top-of-mind awareness, something not every franchise opportunity can offer. Our recognized and respected name in the short-term rental industry means our franchise owners spend less time establishing their name and more time networking and focusing on customer service and guest experience.

However, brand recognition is not the only way we save our franchisees time and energy. Our long-term industry relationships with the world’s leading booking sites, such as Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and others allow iTrip properties to be seen by more people. Thanks to this important partnership, your listings will appear on over 100 booking sites, guaranteeing that you reach more prospective guests at all times, increasing bookings and occupancy rates.

Managing Your Business

Opening a small business requires a plan. When starting a small business from scratch, developing a business plan can take a considerable amount of energy and resources. Luckily, an iTrip vacation rental business comes with our proven industry model, operational processes, and procedures that help you efficiently manage the business. Think of it as a playbook! Our franchise model also comes with cutting-edge software that lets you study rates and set pricing, communicate directly with property owners and guests, integrate with multiple listing sites, and streamline day-to-day operations.

Managing the day-to-day operations of your franchise will be a top priority, but you can count on our expertise and resources to help you every day.

The short-term rental industry is exciting and rewarding, with plenty of room for growth. To become part of it as an iTrip franchisee, reach out to our team today!
