A guest browses your vacation rental website, finds a rental, arrives at the checkout page, and then leaves without booking. Sound familiar? It happens on every vacation rental website, including yours.
This process is called cart abandonment and is a common challenge faced by vacation rental managers. According to our research, vacation rental websites experience an average cart abandonment rate of somewhere between 60 to 80%. As a rental manager, this means you have an opportunity to grow direct booking revenue and improve your return on investment.
While it’s impossible to completely stop cart abandonment, RealTech has identified new strategies and tactics to help recapture some of those lost bookings and improve your bottom line.

These highly customized email campaigns are an efficient way to connect with users, drive them back to your website, and recapture online bookings.
How it works:
- Twenty minutes after a user abandons their cart, they receive a reminder email.
- One day after abandoning checkout, they receive an additional email only if they did not book after opening the first email.
- Five days after, the third and final email is delivered, encouraging them to visit your website. Again, this email is only sent if the guest doesn’t checkout in the meantime.
This service only takes two weeks to launch, including design, implementation and testing. Keep in mind that this is a collaborative process, and you will approve all email campaign designs before implementation.
