SITUATION

Renting out vacation properties from private person to private person. Website is free for travellers, but home-owners need to pay a yearly fee.

Problem: only a small minority of –hopefully- qualitative visitors was placing an ad online. How could we do more business with same means?

ANSWER

Renting out vacation properties from private person to private person. Website is free for travellers, but home-owners need to pay a yearly fee.

After checking that traffic was indeed qualified, we decided that the problem lay in converting those qualified users to paid users.
