Interested in hearing what outside-the-box marketing techniques you use to increase bookings. Also if you do anything extra for guests that may keep them coming back. It seems like we all do the basics but I've been looking for extra small things to do that may give my properties a slight edge.

I have to admit that is something that has never crossed my mind. Do you just have a working desk or do you leave a whole computer with maybe a printer? Thank you for your response.

Where is the rental and why would people want to stay at it? Josh's point is a good one for many markets, but I suspect it wouldn't be as big of a draw in a market such as a ski town in Maine. However if you're near any major city, it could be a no brainer way to add value. Cheers.

One thing is a feature I'd find to be a good return on investment is an office setup. That could be say $500 all-in and if featured, could attract longer term digital nomads who will pay up for that convenience/feature. I wouldn't be surprised, for example, a small investment like this could return 10x annually.

@Christian Jimenez I would do a monitor or two, a desk, office chair, and that's it mainly!

My STR home office has a printer, but no computer. I figure that everyone nowadays will bring their own laptop if they're working away from the office....

Any outside the box marketing advice for STR?Any outside the box marketing advice for STR?
