If you’re looking to get more hires, we suggest that you stick to the following game plan:

Step 1: Make sure you've got high-quality photographs of your listing

Highlight all of the awesome features and functions - especially on the inside. 

Check out our photography guide for a detailed example.

Step 2: Ask the right questions in your booking message and respond quickly to enquiries

Your booking message can help you speed up the process of approving bookings. Ask hirers upfront to provide what's important for you, whether it's their itinerary, their age range or driving experience, their pick-up/drop-off times. Quick response time is also a sign of professionalism and excellent organisation, which is what all holidaymakers love. The sooner you answer your enquiries, the sooner you'll have a confirmed booking.

Step 3: Have a good pricing strategy

At Camplify, we empower owners to charge whatever nightly rate that they see fit. If your listing isn't getting as much attention from hirers as you hoped, a reduced nightly rate is a good way to spark some more interest. At a lower rate, you're also more likely to attract longer hires. You can easily customise your pricing from your Camplify dashboard by clicking MANAGE.  From here you can edit your default price, and also the price for each night of the year via the calendar.

Step 4: Make sure you've got a detailed description

Go into detail about all the different features (particularly the exact bed configuration), what you love about your van and even where you like to take it. Why should they hire your van over someone else's in the same area? 

Step 5: Think about including a few extras in the hire

Things like a few tea/coffee, nibbles, outdoor table & chairs, bed linen, cleaning products and any other things that provide hirers with extra comfort. Make sure you clearly state these extras and any associated costs on your listing profile.

Step 6: Promote your listing on social media

One of the best things about listing your van on Camplify is that we market your listing for you. Our advanced system connects you and your listing with a verified holidaymaker looking to hire a van just like yours. Our marketing team is extremely dedicated and we're constantly investing in new ways to generate more hires for our owners. On top of this, we still encourage our owners to do some extra marketing - especially those who are using Camplify to run their own business. Take to your favourite social media platform, it's a good way to get the word out about your van.

Consider putting a customised 'Hire Me' sticker on your van with a url straight to your listing. They can be purchased in the Camplify store here

If you believe that you have satisfactorily fulfilled the above and still aren’t receiving as many enquiries as you think you should, contact the Camplify team and together we will work out a strategy to help boost visits and enquiries on your listing.
