Limited Edition
Limited Edition is a branding strategy inspired by the world of collector's items and antiques. Limited Edition acts like a prism through which any vacation rental professional (or small business really!) can build a one-of-a-kind moat around their business.
The four primary pillars of Limited Edition spell out FLoSS:
- Family owned or operated
- LOcally-based (not headquartered elsewhere)
- Specialized in a particular property type
- Surprising in a delightful (not unpleasantly) way
These pillars, when repeated in all levels and forms of communications, emerge as core values which help us stand out from competition. Repetition almost to the point of exhaustion is key (which is why FLoSS is such an apt acronym).
By channelling what makes our business small, real, and meaningful to the community, we distinguish ourselves and attract like-minded guests.
And not unlike collector's items, those who are attracted to limited edition offerings tend to be like-minded humans: they form connections among themselves! What an extraordinary thing!
Limited Edition cuts through the noise of commodity vacation rentals and branding nonsense: it encapsulates the things that make our Cottage Industry unique: the inherent features that empower a vacation rental professional to achieve our own individual versions of success...on our terms.
