Majority of people have their vacations during peak season, hence the phrase “peak season”. But there are also those who prefer to go somewhere in the colder months because thay want to: avoid the crush of people in vacation spots during peak season and take advantage of off season vacation rates. Your goal as an investor is to make your vacation home synonymous with value for vacation money.

Here are a few things that are sure to help.

• Winterize your advertising. Emphasize amenities in your house like a jacuzzi and sauna room. Use inviting words like snuggle, cuddle, cozy and warm. Tickle their fancy and paint tempting pictures like “Imagine yourself gazing at picturesque vistas of snow-capped mountains while half submerged in the warm jacuzzi bubbles gently playing around you.” Then add an off season photo or two of the house to your website.

• Give off season promotions. An example would be book “one night and get one night free” in the same suite. People love good bargains and they anticipate one in winter. When you get inquiries from a caller hoping to book in the summer, offer them a “winter rate” like 40% discount on a weekend booking – that way, they can inspect the place earlier. Or, your off season promo can go like this: Make 2 off season bookings and your third off season booking is free. What’s important is for you to be creative while not forgetting about your bottom line.

• Make the most of holidays. Early November is not early to put up a Christmas tree or deck the halls with boughs of holly. People from all walks of life, from 9 to 99 are sure to enjoy the holiday trimmings.
