Project Title: Brand X Vacation Rental Property Insurance

Project Description: Brand Development/Digital Marketing Initiative

BackgroundBrand X Vacation Property Rental Insurance is a new player in the market – and up against stiff competition.

The challenges for breaking into this insurance space are multifold – driving the critical need to differentiate and be found.

The properties Brand X covers are vacation properties (homes, condos, cabins, etc.) rented out for short-term vacation stays through the likes of www.HomeAway.com and www.VRBO.com. Often times, vacation properties are purchased as investment properties, for the property owners to realize income during the times the property otherwise would be sitting vacant. However, the majority of vacation property owners do not know what they do not know. As such, they are not aware that as soon as the rental lease is signed and income is realized, their standard homeowners insurance is null and void – because now the property is considered a commercial entity. With this, the property owners are left vulnerable and liable for catastrophic events such as fire, property damage, theft and injury.
