So you really need to make sure that right out of the gate you have something eye catching, something that is going to drive traffic to your listings and it's going to make you stand out against your competitors. You know, I recently saw a statistic that said that only 5% of vacation rentals, I believe it was in the U.S. but only 5% of vacation rentals are actually optimized meaning that they have everything set up, you know, including pricing, you know, using the right PMS software, having automated messaging but also being design focused and design forward and being like set up for, for that kind of success. So really optimizing your listing, making sure you're driving traffic there. And the second component of it is you want to make sure that the designs that you're choosing and the furniture that you're choosing, the linens that you're choosing are actually the right types that are going to last that you're not going to have to replace and that are actually manufactured and graded for this kind of vacation rental use.
