Vacation Remix and Barefoot Technologies Partner to Empower Vacationers to Name Their Price
Vacation Remix is pleased to partner with Barefoot Technologies and be the first to let vacationers name the place and price of their vacation rentals.
It sounds like complex idealism, but it is really quite simple. Vacation Remix partners with vacation rentals willing to discount their rates 10% to 50% off. All the vacationers have to do is ask, and all the property managers have to do is accept or counter the offer.
While the vacation rentals industry has numerous pay per listing classified ad websites, VacationRemix.com is a pay for performance model. Brokerages only pay a small commission when Vacation Remix helps them book a successful vacation.
“As a leading provider for vacation rental management software, Barefoot Technologies is a natural fit for us,” says Vacation Remix’s cofounder Kent Shaffer. “But the real advantage is Barefoot’s culture and approach to technology. They work very hard to give their best to us and their clients.”
Shaffer explains the value of Vacation Remix’s unconventional approach is that property managers get more weeks booked and vacationers get great deals on their terms. While some might argue that property managers are just getting a trade off of more weeks but lower rates, it is important to realize the time and money saved by letting Vacation Remix market their properties.
“It takes some balancing to make giving great deals a win for everyone. The hidden value for property managers is our smart marketing, which let’s them focus less on marketing and more on what only they can do – take care of customers,” says Kent Shaffer. “It is a fresh approach to vacation rentals, and it has been fun to watch property managers and vacationers get as excited about it as we are.”
Vacation Remix launched in January 2011 and is steadily expanding into new regions every month.
