You\u2019ve heard the phrase \u201cA picture is worth a thousand words\u201d before, right? When making your vacation home available on the Vacation Exchange Network, pictures can go a long way toward convincing someone your home is a must-see. You\u2019ve worked so hard on your home\u2019s profile, explaining the benefits of the area, what the home offers, and more. The photo is the final \u201csell\u201d to get someone to go from \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll stay here\u201d to \u201cI want to stay here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Before I explain how to take great photographs of your vacation home, let\u2019s review a bit about the Vacation Exchange Network<\/a>. Our network allows you to arrange stays in someone else\u2019s home, even if they\u2019re not interested in your home. We offer two types of exchanges:\u00a0Direct Exchanges and<\/strong>\u00a0Indirect Exchanges<\/strong>. A direct exchange occurs when you and a member swap a stay in each other\u2019s homes. An indirect exchange means your home is used in an exchange, but you don\u2019t stay in the requesting member\u2019s home. When you allow another member to use your home, you receive an exchange credit, which you can use at a later time to stay in any other member\u2019s vacation home<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0Now you can understand why having pictures that scream \u201cStay here!\u201d can be so important when you\u2019re a VEN member! For more information, please visit our websit<\/a>e.<\/p>\n Think of taking pictures of your vacation home like \u201cstaging\u201d your home to sell. You want to make it look appealing, but also help the interested party imagine themselves<\/i> in your home. \u00a0The first picture of your home is free, so if you\u2019re opting for just one picture, you want to make it count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You\u2019ve heard the phrase \u201cA picture is worth a thousand words\u201d before, right?
