Houfy and the banana problem

Why updating your listing photos is crucial for attracting guests

Let's talk about something important that we like to call "Houfy and the banana problem." You know when you go shopping at your local market and need to choose bananas? Have you ever thought about which one you pick and why?

Now, imagine this scenario: someone is searching for a vacation rental on Houfy, and they come across your listing and another one. Which one do you think they'll choose? That's right, the one with the fresh, appealing picture. No one wants to stay in a place with an "outdated" photo, right?

We understand that life can get busy, and updating your listing photos may have slipped your mind. But here's the good news: you can take great photos with your phone! No need for a professional photographer or a complicated setup. Just snap some good shots that truly showcase your place.

And guess what? You can even reorder your uploaded photos on Houfy! It's easy. Just select a photo and drag it to where you want it to be. The first three photos are the most important because they'll be prominently displayed on your listing. In fact, your first photo will even appear in search results, catching the attention of potential guests.

So, take a moment today and update your pictures. It's the first thing guests see, and believe us, it can make a real difference. Thank you for being a part of our community, and happy updating!
