Take these small steps to reap big rewards.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

1. Great Photography<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text css=””]Showcase your venue in the best possible light using your smartphone. Whenever possible, utilise natural light, and capture a variety of images that display the venue both when it’s vacant\u2014helping guests envision their use of the space\u2014and when it’s in use. You can ask a previous guest for their professional images to showcase the venue as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Make sure to include pictures of all relevant areas. For example, if you have kitchen facilities, be sure to include images of the kitchen, as well as the hall, bathroom, access areas, and parking.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth” padding_top=”70″ padding_bottom=”50″ margin_bottom=”0″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1454519700735{padding-right: 12% !important;padding-left: 12% !important;}”]

2. A prompt response.<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text css=””]Respond to all inquiries promptly. The quickest way to lose a potential booking is by not responding quickly\u2014or not responding at all. Industry research shows that guests often cite getting no response to their booking request as their worst experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worryingly, this lack of interaction significantly impacts return rates; potential guests are likely to return to the same venue less than a quarter of the time if they receive no reply. This is notably lower compared to scenarios where hosts simply say \u201cno.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The message is clear: a response\u2014even if it\u2019s a polite \u201csorry, not this time\u201d\u2014is far better for your future bookings than remaining silent.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row footer_feature=”yes” padding_top=”70″ padding_bottom=”70″][vc_column]

3. Website integration<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text css=””]We are all time-poor. Get out from under a load of calls and emails, by directing all inquiries to your listing on <\/span>Vennu.com.au<\/span><\/a>. Once you have listed potential hirers can easily discover everything they need to know with your detailed description, gallery of great images and availability calendar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Encourage reviews<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text css=””]While we live in a digital world word of mouth is the best currency for future bookings. Encourage your guests to leave a review after their booking to build trust and confidence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
