When it comes to planning a #vacation, women rule!

Our website analytics prove how critical women are to planning “the vacation”. With an average time on site of 00:06:20; RentWisconsinCabins.com seems to be playing an important role. Of the million-plus visitor views our website received; 65% come from WOMEN. Even more staggering is the percentage of WOMEN who send inquiries – just over 74%! Ladies, we salute you. Without your dedication to having-a-plan, husbands and kids would be left sitting on the couch thinking about renting a Wisconsin cabin, cottage, lodge or home instead of actually renting a Wisconsin cabin, cottage, lodge or home.

You might be thinking that 00:06:20 is a long time to be on a website. But you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. That’s what we try to do …make it fun. We believe your vacation should START with the Search for a Wisconsin vacation rental. Because our online selection is one of the largest, you might find several vacation properties that meet your needs–we think that’s a good thing. It’s time well-spent because at RentWisconsinCabins.com you always book directly with vacation rental owners and managers. They are your best tour guides! Don’t risk paying a higher rental fee by booking though third-party websites, always book direct.

It’s that “planning” time of the year again ladies. Not that you need us to remind you ッ

Here are some top-choice destinations: Eagle River Vacation Rentals; Minocqua Vacation Rentals; Hayward Vacation Rentals; Lake Geneva Vacation Rentals; Sturgeon Bay Vacation Rentals; Rhinelander Vacation Rentals. Stop by and see our entire Wisconsin Map of vacation rentals.

The Minnesota Journey Begins

JM Creative Group is excited to have RentMinnesotaCabins.com up and running! Whether you are a MN vacation rental owner, or a Minnesota-bound vacationer — we hope you enjoy our new website. Vacationers; look for the rental selection to steadily grow over the next several months. Rental owners: our ‘flagship’ website, RentWisconsinCabins.com has 716 rentals listed – we offer affordable advertising and target AREA renters (those most-likely to rent from you).

How are WE are different than other rental listing websites? Why do vacationers choose our website versus the well-established national listing sites? Why would rental owners want to list their properties with us? Lets look at these separately:

What are we doing different?
Other companies have chosen to create ONE website to promote vacation rentals around the country (in some cases, world); we’re building unique websites for EACH state. Currently Live are; RentWisconsinCabins.com; RentMinnesotaCabins.com; and RentMichiganCabins.com. RentNewYorkCabins.com is going Live next month, and 15 more state-specific websites will roll out in 2014. Why this approach? Since the explosion of the Internet; vacationers have been searching for rentals by state. Here is the problem: Google has no choice but to give high rankings to national web portals whose focus is on presenting a massive selection of rentals that vacationers are not interested in. Here is our solution: Offer vacationers a niche website focused on their state-specific search.

Developing individual state-specific websites allows our team to use pertinent search criteria that is unique to each state. Once established, these state sites naturally rank on page 1, usually in the number 1 position. What is pertinent search criteria? Minnesota rentals don’t offer mountain-views, so you won’t see that as a search criteria. You WILL find pertinent criteria like “on large recreation lake”. The criteria is state-specific because the website is state-specific.

Why do vacationers choose our websites?
On RentMinnesotaCabins.com, every rental is IN Minnesota. On RentWisconsinCabins.com, every rental is IN Wisconsin. As soon as vacationers arrive at one of our websites, they are presented with an interactive STATE MAP OF RENTALS. The search begins on the HOME PAGE. No drilling down through several links to find a state. Vacationers would rather book directly with rental owners/managers – that is what we offer.

Why would rental owners want to list with us?
It’s affordable advertising with incredible ROI. With a single cabin listing starting at $95/yr — it’s a no-brainer to list your rental(s). Imagine your listing(s) in front of targeted consumers – that’s our advantage. We track listing views, archive inquiries, and give you full access to a log in Property Manager (which you use to update your listing). NOTE: We even set up your listing(s) for you. We write original content, upload pictures, add rates, link to rental business website and social websites. Then, when you have time, you can log in and review/update your listing(s)!

Please enjoy our growing website focused on Minnesota Vacation Rentals!

Reversing Current Law. Harmful to Vacation Rental Businesses.

Those that want to get rid of law LRB’s 1695/1 and 2502/1, which prevents school schools from starting before Labor Day, really need to consider the irreversible crippling effect it will have on the Vacation Rental Industry. It’s our hope (and the hope of WI rental owners and managers) that this law remains intact. In Wisconsin, the vacation season starts in mid-June and runs THRU Labor Day. Up to 85% of revenue for full-time rental owners is generated during these 3 months. “It would kill our August customer base when the weather is the best”, says a Minocqua rental owner. “We not only would lose customers by the middle of August, but also our help”. A longer school year is inevitable, but why not keep students in school in June when our Wisconsin weather is typically rainy and cooler? Is anyone weighing the pro’s and con’s?

Nixing the current law is the wrong thing to do – at the worst possible time. WI rental owners are still recovering from recession, and trip cancellations due to the unexpected late arrival of summer. Though these smart business owners are used to finding creative ways to overcome unexpected weather-related setbacks, taking away their Labor Day revenue seems unacceptable.

Do not turn your back on rental owners, and many restaurants/bars who rely on robust end-of-August revenues. They need SUPPORT, not another hurdle.
