In this episode of STRonomics, hosts are joined by Bill Faeth and Kenny Bedwell to explore the importance of niche marketing in the short-term rental (STR) industry. They discuss the success of a Blue Ridge property owner who significantly increased earnings by making her listings the most pet-friendly in the area, showcasing amenities like custom dog biscuits and a pet souvenir station. Another property offers a cannabis-friendly experience, catering to guests interested in a smoke-friendly environment. The conversation also covers themed properties, like Taylor Swift-themed homes and overly themed Harry Potter houses, emphasizing the importance of targeting the right audience without being overly niche. They caution against personal preferences overshadowing market demand and highlight that successful niche marketing aligns with guest demographics and interests, showing the potential of well-thought-out themed and targeted properties in increasing occupancy and revenue.
