Smartphone Apps = Marketing On-The-Go

As vacation rental owners, we are always SUPER busy!  We always looking for ways to save time.  Enter > Smartphone Apps!  Hallelujah!

Find a good Smartphone App and you can create an attractive social media post in a couple minutes.

Don’t waste your precious time when there’s a mobile app for creating quick, attractive marketing materials.

My Favorite Smartphone App for Vacation Rental Marketing

The smartphone app store is full of photo-related apps.  And I’ve tried a bunch of them!  But there is one app that I keep using over and over again.

My absolute favorite app for marketing is PicCollage.  Don’t let the name fool you.  It is FAR more than just a photo collage creator!  With over 50,000,000 installs, you really can’t go wrong with this app!

PicCollage will do just about anything you need it to do.  Be as creative and original as you want to be, or choose a template and fill in the content blocks.  It doesn’t get much simpler.

If you’re looking for it in the App Store, here’s what the app icon looks like:

Add your own photos inside the app.  Move the photos around, stack, add borders, do cut-outs, and add text overlays.  Arrange them into a collage, or use the photo as a background.  The possibilities are too numerous to mention.
