Shared vacation rentals meet the shared marketplace for property managers and owners to capture greater booking revenue among travelers attending events and conferences
NAPLES, Fla.
NAPLES, Fla. & ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 13, 2016–
Shared vacation rental accommodations for events and activities Very.Us has partnered with short term vacation rental marketplace rented.com to benefit both vacation property owners and management companies for attracting event traveler bookings in the sharing economy.
As the first bridge between traditional vacation rentals and the sharing economy, Very.Us increases profit per booking margins while solving low season occupancy rates by travelers renting vacation homes together. Vacation rental owners and management companies can capture a greater value of reservations on a per room model without turning their vacation rental properties into a bed and breakfast.
“Since property owners and managers are forced into hit or miss reservations that limit occupancy growth in today’s vacation rental market, there is an opportunity to capture a greater percentage of travelers who increase the demand of original booking value to maximize profit per booking,” says Matt Heady, Founder & CEO of Very.Us. “The rented.com marketplace between managers and owners compliments the sharing economy travelers that Very.Us appeals to staying in traditional vacation homes where everyone wins.”
As Very.Us raises the bar for travelers renting vacation homes together around common interest events and conferences, rented.com is also redefining today’s ideas on property management contracts and fees. This alignment will create additional revenue opportunity for fulfilling both the Guaranteed Income and Shared Success models within the rented.com marketplace.
“rented.com is excited at the opportunity to partner with a company that is likewise expanding the sharing economy to broader markets,” rented.com CEO Andrew McConnell commented. “This makes a lot of sense for both sides: The value rented.com delivers is in professionalizing the sharing economy, and improving the vacation rental process for all those involved. As Very.Us expands the breadth of the sharing economy by allowing travelers to access new types of travel experiences, we are excited for a partnership that will help more homeowners, professional managers, and guests enter an improved vacation rental industry.”
As both companies work together on expanding the reach towards helping short term vacation rentals owners and property managers capture more bookings, plans to continue cross-promotions and value-added services will begin with a pilot program.
