Hello!

I hope this email finds you and your family well!

Just wanted to give you a quick update on how our first quarter was…record setting!

Wow! As of this past Monday, listings on VROCNJ had only 11.8% vacancy left for the 10 summer weeks (6/26/2021– 9/4/2021)! So…basically sold out!

How did we do?
While our entire first quarter was outstanding, March was on fire! In March alone we had over 200,000 page views (last year, we only had 23,000!) that’s over an 800% increase!

Our other marketing metrics are doing extremely well too. We are still #1 on Google, CONSISTENTLY week after week, for the top 20 search phrases for vacation rentals OCNJ! We are also seeing more and more “brand” searches (for VROCNJ) which proves our traditional marketing is doing its job, building awareness for our brand. It will be even better next year once our summer campaigns run!

How can we improve?
The only area we are lagging in, is new listing growth! While over 90% of our owners are renewing, we only had a handful of new signups in March. To keep this marketing machine marching forward, we need to keep adding new listings. That’s where we are hoping YOU can help us?

How can YOU help?
Please share your experience with VROCNJ with your friends and neighbors who rent! If each of you can refer just one person to us, over the next six months, we will meet our goal of 300 listings by the fall.

Word of mouth is the best form of advertising and to reward you for referring us, we will add a $50 credit to your account for each person you send our way! Just email us or ask your friend to put your name or listing number in the referral box when they sign up so we can give you credit. To sweeten the deal, give them this coupon code “friend50” and they can save $50 off their subscription with us (NEW customers only, not for renewals or extensions, expires May 31, 2021).

Also, to stay at the top of Google we need a consistent stream of fresh, new reviews. If you already left a review for us on Google, THANK YOU! If you haven’t would you please? It only takes 2 minutes, just click the number of starts and write a sentence or two to share your experience with VROCNJ. Here is the link: https://g.page/VROCNJ/review?rc

Lastly, be on the lookout for a long awaited announcement from us early next week regarding damage protection insurance :)
