So let&#8217;s find out together how to <strong>improve<\/strong> your <strong>advertisement<\/strong> on Ecobnb to get as many requests as possible!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Photos, first of all<\/h2>\n<p>For those who choose a hotel, photos are very important, more than the\u00a0description. It is therefore vital to publish so many photographs as you can, all in good quality, taken in the best possible conditions, such as on a <strong>sunny<\/strong> day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photos<\/strong> must show the accommodation&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>spaces<\/strong> and <strong>surroundings<\/strong> and differentiate as much as possible from photos of other accommodations.<\/p>\n<p>Pay close\u00a0attention to\u00a0the first image that appears in the advertisement, the <strong>first impression<\/strong> is always crucial!<\/p>\n<h2>2. Original and exhaustive content<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14072\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/pexels-photo-265152-870x490.jpeg\" alt=\"How to improve your advertisement on Ecobnb\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/pexels-photo-265152-870x490.jpeg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/pexels-photo-265152-570x320.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>description<\/strong> is also crucial to your advertisement: sharing clear information can help your guests live\u00a0a better experience and decide if your space is fit for their needs.<\/p>\n<p>It is best to avoid subjective and often overused terms\u00a0as &#8220;the most beautiful hotel\u00a0in the area&#8221;, &#8220;the most welcoming B&amp;B in the city&#8221; that are often meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>Using more <strong>concrete<\/strong> and more <strong>descriptive<\/strong> terms is the right move: &#8220;150 meters from sandy beach&#8221;, &#8220;welcoming you will find Salvatore and Carla&#8221; are for example more original content that truly distinguishes your accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>Although an informal tone can establish a first relationship with the traveler, it is important to always check the description of your advertisement. The text must be <strong>correct<\/strong> and it is good to avoid excessive use, for example, of suspended or exclamation points or uppercase words.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Directions and suggestions about what to do nearby<\/h2>\n<p>Why should the traveler come from you? What are the <strong>beauties<\/strong> (natural, cultural, gastronomic, etc.) that you can not miss in the <strong>surrounding area?<\/strong> What do you like about your territory\u00a0and what does it offer to those who visit it in different seasons?<\/p>\n<p>The description should not be confined to the summary\u00a0of the rooms and spaces, but rather must focus on the <strong>context<\/strong> of the accommodation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holidays<\/strong> are increasingly <strong>experiential:<\/strong> travelers want to do, see, hear, touch, taste. It is therefore important to respond to this need and to describe and suggest the possible activities that can be\u00a0be done.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Services<\/h2>\n<p>Even though the <strong>services<\/strong> of your facility are always listed, it is often best to insert <strong>more details.\u00a0<\/strong>It is not enough to know if the breakfast is included, a possible guest prefer to know if it is natural, sweet or savory.<br \/>\nIf you can enter more details on your services (without writing too long texts!) your ad will be better!<\/p>\n<h2>5. Tell about your eco-sustainable\u00a0features<\/h2>\n<p>Although the green qualities of your accommodation are already listed in the ad\u00a0(from organic food to clean energy), we recommend that you <strong>add<\/strong> the <strong>details<\/strong> of your eco-sustainability choices in the description.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00a0are experimenting with permaculture in the garden of your b&amp;b, write it down on the description. Do you offer free bicycles to guests? Explain better how the service works and if for example it has to be booked in advance. Do you offer vegan menus? Add it to the description telling what the strongest dishes are.<\/p>\n<p>Do not be afraid to tell your eco-story, how your eco-hospitality was born, what your green investments were and what your future plans are.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Emotion has no price<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14071\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/Agriturismo_La_Piantata_Arlena-di-Castro_Viterbo-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"How to improve your advertisement on Ecobnb\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/Agriturismo_La_Piantata_Arlena-di-Castro_Viterbo-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/Agriturismo_La_Piantata_Arlena-di-Castro_Viterbo-870x490-536x302.jpg 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/Agriturismo_La_Piantata_Arlena-di-Castro_Viterbo-870x490-570x320.jpg 570w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/Agriturismo_La_Piantata_Arlena-di-Castro_Viterbo-870x490-344x194.jpg 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Neuroscience has shown how much the emotional aspect influences our own\u00a0buying choices. Your advertisement, both through images and words, must be able to arouse emotions; it must be a <strong>story<\/strong> that can entice the traveler to spend a holiday\u00a0with you.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>On Ecobnb travelers can leave a review in the accommodation\u00a0they are staying in. Hosts should always <strong>respond<\/strong> to both positive and negative responses, maintaining a <strong>professional tone<\/strong> and never using standardized, all same answers.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Special offers<\/h2>\n<p>Ecobnb gives you the option to enter <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/offers\/\" target=\"_blank\">special offers<\/a>. For example, you can offer a <strong>discount<\/strong> or promotion for those who stay longer or an <strong>unusual experience<\/strong> at certain times of the year.
