I'd like to add a couple of things too. One word sums it up and that is Diversify. Our first year we came to May and June and made nothing as all the apartments were empty. We moved into private cleaning work as a regular fall back income. We have that every month and the holiday apartments are now a bonus to us.
We started getting regular guests call us looking for apartment availability so we added that to our website and charge the owners a small booking fee. It gets them business and it also gets us more work.
Don't stand still and always look for sidelines that will dovetail into what you already do  |
Hey Dude!
Totally agree with your diversification suggestion. So many people running even successful businesses miss some of the obvious add-ons. Can we suggest that you PM us if you would like to find out how you could add a revenue stream to your business.
Indeed this probably applies to anyone who runs a business and is a forum member.
