Mark Simpson (speaker) advises a vacation-rental host to define a clear niche and target audience — in this excerpt the host focuses on families visiting Orlando attractions. He emphasizes building an email list and cultivating a referral network (guests who recommend the property to friends when booking trips to Disney/Universal), and notes the role of social media among young families in amplifying referrals.
He for his major win this year for me is that he knows exactly who he needs to be marketing to, like which part of his property, what's the niche that he's gone down. That is what he needs to be talking about and starting to build his database. So he's now got an email list, which is great because. And he's got a referral network because the people that are coming to stay with him are predominantly families. They live, you know, either in Florida or they're just on the border in, you know, state, South Carolina, etc. And because of the clientele, they, you know, families, they're all young families are all on social media. He's building a lovely email list and he's starting to get referrals now. So when people leave, they're going home to telling the friends and when they're booking their Disney, Universal or getaway to Orlando, they're saying, hey, go and stay with, you know, escape bookings, which is, which is great for him.
