Have you viewed some really cool vacation rental photos lately? Why do some images look so good and some look so bad? How much time do you spend looking at bad photos? When you market your vacation rental homes you need GREAT photos!

Ancient SECRET - One can’t start with a small picture file and make a big clear picture file! One can start with a big clear picture and make smaller clear pictures. It’s kind of like you can always cut your hair shorter but you can’t add it back on. That should be clear as mud!

We discussed this important topic earlier this year and if you need additional image tips just click here. The biggest culprit in bad or FUZZY images is the size of the image file. When you upload images in the Furnishedhomes.com owner panel for your vacation rental be sure that you have higher resolution files. The optimal demension to upload is 800 x 600 JPEG images and the size of the file should be at least 30 KB.

Here is where everything gets FUZZZZZZY. If you grab or copy your photos from your other vacation rental website listings or your personal website they are often very small and 2nd or 3rd generation. Then when you upload them in your Furnished Homes listing they are way too small. Your best images are probably saved on your computers hard drive. These are the images that you most likely downloaded directly from your camera and will work best.

Check your listings and see how your images look. You may see that some images are awesome and some are not. It takes just a minute to upload fresh and larger files in the Furnishedhomes.com owner panel. Better images will greatly enhance your visitors experience and pay handsome dividends in inquiries for your property. Travelers are pouring over many listings and you need to WOW them with your photos.

If you are having trouble uploading images just send us an email (customercare@furnishedhomes.com) with your images attached. We will re-size your images and upload them to your listing! Just be sure to send us big image files up to 1 MG. We’re working on some exciting enhancements to the Furnishedhomes.com photo gallery and will share them with you soon!
