Small Business Marketing: How to Build Profitable Bridges Over an Ocean of Customer Mistrust
About four years ago I had a great idea for an article that I couldn't quite put into words. Recently, I ran across a video created by Michael Chaney which outlined a similar concept that I wanted to communicate to my customers. This video really helped me finish my own article was very similar to his analogy.In his video he outlines an important concept which business owners must understand when connecting with their customers and getting them to pull out their wallets or open their check books. Here is his same concept in my own words.When you are approaching your customers, there is a large gap between you and them. You are on an Island, the

Employment Screening Today - Are Online Database Searches Enough?
In today’s employment environment, HR managers are faced with the monumental duty of hiring and maintaining, as well as the ongoing development, of employees. But the single most difficult task lies first in hiring the right people.Not only are prospective employers faced with the largest available potential workforce since the Second World War, but, as things have become more sophisticated, so have the deception techniques of those who would shaft you and your company. Negligent hiring, sexual harassment, and frivolous employee lawsuits have increased sharply in recent years, as have the incidents of workers’ compensation fraud and employee theft. sound investment to get the rental return you require for short term letting.

The most important thing to calculate before purchasing a property is the Rental Yield. The rental yield is the net yearly rental income as a proportion of the property purchase price. To calculate this prior to a purchase, look on the internet for similar properties for rent to determine an idea of the rental income per week you will be able to achieve. From this value you will need to deduct allowances for rental service companies (typically up to 25% of the rent obtained) and taxation on the income. It is normal that you can offset all costs in renting and running the property against rental income received. Consult a specialist accountant for further advice on this matter. The resulting figure will be your net weekly rental figure.

Next, take a conservative estimate on the number of weeks you will potentially be able to rent your property. This will vary from country to country and is considered wise for you to consult Aquavista to gain a good idea. To start with look at the total rental season, deduct periods in which you intend to stay at your property and then estimate being 2/3 to 3/4 full for the remaining period.

Some examples for total rental periods are Turkey, which has a long summer season, the rental market runs from about mid April until the end of October. Bulgaria has a very short summer, so the rental market is only June to August. In the ski regions such as in Austria, the ski season last for about sixteen weeks plus you may be able to get further rental income in the peak summer period.

By multiplying the net weekly rental figure by the realistically achievable number of weeks you can rent you will get the yearly net rental income. Divide this figure by the property purchase price and multiply by 100 to get the Rental Yield.

For example an apartment in the ski regions of Austria can get a weekly income of say GBP350. Taking off 25% for the rental management company and a further 5% (est.) for taxation the net weekly rental income would be GBP245 Assume you can get 12 weeks winter rent and a further 4 weeks in summer the total number of weeks rent would be 16. Total yearly net rental income would then be GBP245 x 16 = GBP3920. With the property costing GBP100,000 then the Rental Yield would be 3920/100,000 x 100 = 3.92%

Determining the realistic weekly rental charge for a property has many factors. The factors of the property itself are self evident and these same factors usually determine the property prices. Some items have a big impact on the charge. Not having access to a swimming pool in a hot climate will lower the charge significantly and lower the number of weeks you will be able to find clients to rent it. A ski in/out property will always command a premium and almost guarantee full rental in the Alps as will a property on the 18th green of a golf course. Location obviously has an impact on the rental achievable. Do not expect the cheap property bought in the middle of nowhere or 20 minutes hike up a steep hill with no public transport to gain many enquiries.

Established holiday destinations, popular with holiday companies, are always easier to find clients to rent your property for. However the competitive holiday companies can have a negative impact on the price you can achieve. People will only pay a certain premium for a private villa compared
