“I’m full in the summer months anyway. Why would I even bother renting my apartment to digital nomads?” Is a sentence we hear on an all to regular basis. And indeed why should you open up to nomads? Why provide all the services that nomads require?
Because it isn’t only accommodation but a whole range of services. Just think and just count the number of different services you use over monthly basis. From dentists to cafés, from wellness centres to hairdressers, and everything in between. It’s quite a list, and not a list that a tourist who is here for a seven-day break in the sunshine would ever need. Wait! I think we’re answering out own question. And there are a couple of huge elephants in the room that we have to mention.
Firstly, and these aren’t in any order, remote workers are just as the name suggests – workers. They are here to work, hence they won’t be staying for a long-weekend but are looking for services on at least a monthly basis, and in many cases much longer. These means instead of all of the hassles of turning over your accommodation on almost a daily basis you’re free for a month (at least) to put up your feet and finally enjoy summer. And when was the last time you did that?
And secondly, they are going to be regular clients in any service provider you have and are sure (if they receive value for money) to spread the news with other like-minded nomads coming this way. So not only do you have regular business but you’ll also get a chance to go you viral, and we all know how important it is to have a digital footprint. If you haven’t seen the light yet, here’s a huge torch to brighten the view. Digital nomads travel all year round! So the question, that begins with “I’m full in the summer months anyway” has a word that sticks out like a sore thumb. Summer! You don’t just do your jobs in the summer, and neither do digital nomads. Think outside the box and you’ll soon see the advantages.
