Airbnb Inventory for Different Types of Travelers
Choosing a target audience and marketing your Airbnb to them is a great way to secure more bookings. Finding a niche for your home and marketing to specific types of travelers who are already looking for your amenities is a more efficient way to attract guests than marketing to the general population. For example, if your home has a great office space, promote it to digital nomads and business travelers. If your home is a romantic getaway for honeymooners, highlight its cozy and luxurious atmosphere. Below are items to add to your rental for your target audience:
Business Travelers
Blackout curtains
Self-check-in with a smart lock
Printer
Strong WiFi
Couples
Bathrobes
Welcome wine
Families
Board games
Childproof locks
Coloring book and crayons
Crib
Playing cards
At first glance, this list can feel overwhelming. However, when you automate your booking calendar, cleaning schedules, guest communications, and more with Host Tools, you save copious amounts of time managing your rental. With all of the time saved from using Host Tools, you'll have more energy to keep up with a quality inventory and appliance list to provide a superior guest experience. Remember to stay a step ahead of other hosts by going above and beyond with the inventory you offer and market your home to a niche.
