Earn big from ‘air BnBs’
By Patience Wangari.
It is most common for most people nowadays to go on solo trips, family vacations and
staycations. This has led to increased growth in the Air bed and breakfast (Air Bnb) business
which most entrepreneurs have ventured into.
Air Bnb has brought stiff competition to hotels thus both have to be on their toes to sustain their
businesses.
In the Bnb service, the owners furnish and rent out their spaces to travelers and charge different
packages depending on the duration of the client.
Here are some tips to run a successful Bnb business;
Response time
As an owner, quickly responding to your clients is essential in case of urgency. It also reduces
the chances of potential guests booking elsewhere.
Cleaning
Ensure your apartment is clean and well-organized. You can hire a cleaning service occasionally
to help you with that.
Price
People mainly rent Air Bnbs because they are pocket-friendly compared to hotels. Therefore,
ensure your price is standard. Do not over or under price.
First impression
Create a good rapport with your clients by being friendly and communicating pleasantly with
them. This will make them choose you over others.
Good pictures
Invest in professional photography for your business to make it more appealing rather than basic.
Capture the character of the place, the surrounding and the amenities.
Attention to details
Don’t have a boring apartment, instead add board games, books, movies or entertainment options
for guests. Offering drinks will also make your apartment stand out.
To sum up, Air Bnbs can provide a six-figure income depending on how well you manage your
business. Therefore, the above tips will be of help to anyone willing to venture or who is already
in the business.
