Owning a villa in the Disney area is a big financial responsibility. Orlando Villa Deals understands this and provides a service for owners and villa renters that is mutually beneficial. This page lays out the benefits of the two listing packages provided by Orlando Villa Deals, and allows you to sign up.

CHOICE VILLA PACKAGE

Sign up as a Choice Villa and the benefits are:

1. Cost effective advertising. The Internet is without a doubt the medium with the hardest working advertising for the money. Don't just sign up with one Villa site either, do some of the other top sites, for the cost the Internet is the first place you should promote your villa.

2. Free creation and publishing of a professionally designed listing page. No need for you to know anything about programming or HTML. Just come up with the words and an image of your villa. The easy to follow application form guides you through the process.

3. One fixed fee. No hidden charges, no taxes, no commission, just simple easy to understand payment. The fee you see is what you pay.

4. Membership of the 'Deal Finder' network. Deal Finder is the central marketing device of the Orlando Villa Deals site and is central to all promotion activity. With Deal Finder you will get leads from villa renters looking to find accommodation for their set dates. If your villa is available then you can respond. Villa renters will look at their options and will rent your villa if it is their best fit for their dates.

5. Benefit from Orlando Villa Deals advertising and marketing expenditure. The 2005 expenditure is scheduled for key newspapers (including batches of Sunday Times runs of four weeks), Internet Paid Search (Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL) and Villa magazines.

6. Access to surveys and support from Orlando Villa Deals. With a masters graduate market researcher on the team you will receive surveys giving you insight into the villa market in Orlando which will be invaluable business tools.

7. No limitations on updating your listing page. You are able to change your listing throughout the year to change pricing, the picture, or update the text.

SHOWCASE VILLA PACKAGE

Sign up as a Showcase Villa and the benefits are:

1. Everything in the Choice Villa package.

2. Six additional images, all at the bigger Showcase size. Images are extremely important in clinching villa rentals and with six additional big images on your page, you can give the detail renters prefer. Show off your pool and the insides of your villa. As it is often stated... a picture paints a thousand words, so with 6 that saves a lot of typing.

3. Superior positioning and branding in the 'Browse Villas' section. Showcase villas all come above 'Choice' villas in the order villas are displayed when a visitor browses villa listings. Additionally Showcase villas are highlighted as a 'Showcase Villa' with banners and emblems giving the visitor extra impetus to view.

4. Option to improve positioning in 'Browse Villas' section and add additional images. Showcase villa owners can buy additional images (£8 an image) to improve their listing page and their position in the order villas are listed. The Showcase villa with most images will come top of its 'Browse Villas' list. Browse villa lists are currently listed by bedrooms. Any additional ways of browsing (eg. by subdivision) will follow the same rules.

5. Direct Link to your personal website. If you have a site designed specifically for your villa that shows it in its best light you want the visitor to click to see it.

6. Direct Link to your calendar. People like to know availability but who wants to maintain multiple calendars for all the sites they list on? If you have a calendar you use you can link directly to it, or if you want a free independent calendar you can get it at www.rentors.org and link to that.

7. Direct Link to your Virtual Tour. If you have gone to the effort of creating a virtual tour then it would be a shame not to get this in front of potential renters whenever possible. It is a touch that will make your villa stand out.
