Barefoot Technologies Blog- Vacation Rental Industry News

                This week we are focusing on one of our social media tools-Advanced Owner Access.  It was built 7 years ago when we started to look at social media. Social media from our perspective is not Facebook, Twitter and linkedin, those are just new automated tools for social media. Social media is empowering those that love, worship and are devoted to you with the ability to assist your business.  Obviously owners have made a commitment to you, they trust you and that is the bases of most social media-Trust. We have talked about trust before in our blogs-, take a peak by clicking here.  

Here is the logic behind this tool.  Owners where once Tenants, they fell in love with the area and decided to buy a property or two in the area.  Owners surround themselves with people just like themselves, except many of their friends, family and associates may not have made the commitment to buy in the resort area.  In addition, while all owners are proud of their properties, the ownership is not something that often comes up in a conversation.  But, a friend who knows of the owner’s property trusts that property and the property management company the owner works with immediately.  What needs to happen is the connection.

As many of our customers know, Barefoot is constantly striving to make business connections that will reward our clients.  We continually announce new partnerships in our news page and always try to have a blog post up describing our new partnership and what we can do for you the customer.  The newest partner to come on board with Barefoot Technologies is Vacation Storebuilder, a Software-as-a-Service platform that enables vacation rental companies to quickly and easily manage their websites.

                Last week Ed and I travelled down to Atlantic City for the Triple Play Relators Conference.  It was held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at the Atlantic City Conference Center.  While we were there we met a lot of great people, often they confused us for Barefoot wine which explains their excitement to meet us.  Throughout the week classes were offered as well that we were able to take.  Ed received his certification in (forgot the name of your class for second homes) on Monday while I was lucky enough to sit in on several classes about technology in this field.
