Hello all, and welcome to Ask FlipKey! This is a new bi-monthly column designed to answer commonly asked questions and offer helpful tips and tricks to maximize your FlipKey property listing. My name is Taryn, and here at FlipKey I am an Owner Services Specialist, so who better to advise you on the ins and outs of successfully navigating the world of online vacation rentals?!

On a daily basis we field a lot of the same questions from owners, asking about everything from Marketing statistics, and Why FlipKey?, to more technical questions like What are some ways to make my listing really pop? With that in mind, this column was born to help answer all of those questions in one central place, and hopefully help you find some useful information about your own listing.

Most importantly, if you don’t see your own questions answered, please ask! I’d love to get feedback and input about the column and your experience with the website in general, as we’re always looking for ways to improve the user experience. This column is all for property owners, and what we here at FlipKey can do to make your experience most fruitful and pleasant.

So what can you expect to see in the upcoming posts? Take a peek at the list below – it’s just a sampling of the information we’ve got to share with you! Feel free to add your suggestions in a comment at the bottom of this page.

• FlipKey Free Trial – Why Not?
• What’s up with Timeshares? Acceptable Properties on FlipKey and How We Make the Distinction
• How to Navigate Your FlipKey Property Listing
• Basic Marketing tips to increase property exposure
• The Importance of Saying ‘Thank You’ to Your Guests

There you have it – my preliminary game plan for Ask FlipKey. I am so excited to get this column going, and I’m eager to hear your feedback! If you have a question that seems like it would be of common interest for owners, let me know and I’ll add it to the list. If you have any more specific questions, feel free to send those along as well. This will be a bi-weekly column published on Thursdays, so mark your calendars and be sure not to miss it!

Until next time, happy renting, and happy travels! All the best from the FlipKey crew.
