Home Exchange Photographs Are Important
This is an old chestnut, and I keep hauling it out, dusting it down and repeating it year after year, but it really is extremely important that you make the effort to add several eye catching photographs to your home exchange listing.
At ExchangeHomes.com we have programming in place to track exactly how people—members and visitors—navigate the website and over and over again we see listings with no photographs being skipped over. In short, no viewable photographs translates repeatedly into ‘no traffic’.
Some people seem to feel that publishing photographs on the Internet is a threat to the security of their home. Well, I’ve yet to hear of this being the case, but there is a very easy solution: just illustrate your listing with photographs of your locality and area attractions, then publish pictures of your home on a secure, password protected website such as PhotoBucket or MyPhotoAlbum. Only provide access to those more personal photographs to fellow members after you have corresponded with them and have established a good rapport. Indicate in the text of your listing that more pictures will be available.
We offer a no questions asked Guarantee: if you don’t get a home exchange in the first year, the next year is completely free, on the condition that you have added photographs to your listing (and your Admin Area shows that you’ve initiated some inquiries with fellow members). In view of our proven lack of traffic to listings without photographs, this provision is critical, because each year we do see a small number of people who join, possibly on the spur of the moment, never add pictures to their listing, never send out any contact emails, in fact never even log on to the site again throughout the entire year.
