Vacation Rentals, Home Away, VRBO Offer Perks With Rent An Ipad

Vacation Rental , Home Away, VRBO in Los Angeles Can Offer Creative Perks With Rent An iPad.

Property Owners and Mangers have to constantly develop new strategies and marketing techniques to attract renters.  One of the main reasons people choose vacation rentals over hotels is that they are searching for a "home away from home" experience.  So the more owners do to accomodate that desire, then the more people they will attract to their rental property, and the longer the renters will want to stay.

There is no doubt that technology plays a major role in people's lives these days.  Staying entertained, and staying connected to people back home, even when they're away, is a top priority for many travelers.  So when property owners and managers offer perks for renters to stay entertained and connected via technology, then the more attractive their rental property will appear.  The top ways people stay connected are via telephone, email and social media on the internet. The top ways people stay entertained at home are via movies and games.

It's now commonplace to offer cable and internet service with any rental property.  But for today's travelers that may not be enough to make your rental stand out.  Property owners and managers should consider offering more creative perks to travelers, like the use of an iPad during their stay, free Netflix movies,  free video games, and expanding the internet service from just the home, to a mobile wifi hotspot service that travelers can not only use at the rental property, but that they can also take with them anywhere they go in the city.

When people travel away from home,  they don't always have the ability to take every piece of electronic equipment with them. Also the thought of adults and children constantly fighting over the one laptop or ipad they brought with them, or trying to agree on what to watch on the one TV, can quickly turn any vacation fantasy into a nightmare. This is especially true with international travelers where sometimes their electronic devices, phones, and internet service will not even work in the US.  So if property owners offer some creative technology perks to included with their rental, then they just might have a better chance of standing out from the rest, attracting more international renters, and also renting their property faster and for longer periods. 

The cost of these creative perks are minor when you compare it to the financial returns you can expect in shorter vacancy periods, and greater renter satisfaction that can also lead to repeat renters.  Even if an owner doesn't want to invest in buying an ipad or a mobile wifi hotspot to loan out with the rental property, then the owner can always just rent an ipad and wifi hotspot for the time period needed.  Travel Entertainment ipads in Los Angeles offers great discounts on weekly and monthly rentals for both iPads and mobile internet service.  Netflix comes free with the iPad rentals. Also, the iPad rental company includes free video games, and other apps already loaded onto the iPads to offer complete entertainment packages.

So for a minor investment of approximately $100 to $150, owners can stand out from the competition and offer some creative perks that will surely catch the eye of many potential renters.  Take the time to contact Travel Entertainment iPads and see what kind of rates and perks they offer so you can take your marketing campaign to a higher level, and attract more renters to your property.

Travel Entertainment iPads in Los Angeles rents both iPads and mobile wifi hotspots for vacation rentals.

Frommers, Fodors, Trip Advisor & Lonely Planet Los Angeles Fans Need Mobile WiFi

Fans Of Frommers, Fodors, Trip Advisor, and Lonely Planet Los Angeles All Need Mobile WiFi Internet Service - $11.95/day

Depending on who you speak to, and when you speak to them, you'll hear varying opinions on the level of ease and comfort of today's travel.  Sure flights into LAX are more expensive, and we get less for our money.  But one thing is for sure.  That is that mobile technology is changing the way we travel.  All three of the largest travel guide companies, Frommers, Fodors, Trip Advisor, and Lonely Planet, all offer iPad Apps designed to help travelers navigate around Los Angeles. All you need is a smartphone or an iPad, and mobile internet service.  The good thing is that even if you don't have mobile internet service, or you're an international visitor to Los Angles, then you can rent a mobile wifi hotspot in Los Angeles for as little as $11.95/day. (see Travel Entertainment iPads for rental.)

Los Angeles is a very large city, and most new visitors underestimate its size.  So if any traveler wants to see and do as much as possible while they visit Los Angeles, then it is extremely recommended that they do a little research before they arrive.  Hollywood is a long way from the beach, and the beach is a long way from downtown.  So every traveler needs to put in some thought into what they want to do, because criss-crossing the city in Los Angeles traffic can take up a lot of time.

The Los Angeles travel guides from Frommers, Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet all offer some very good tips and ideas.  The only problem is that they couldn't possibly write everything in each travel guide, and  unless you have a very sharp memory then you may miss out on some very cool places and things to do in Los Angeles.  So if you have an iPad be sure to take it along, or rent the iPad in Los Angeles once you get there.

With the new explosive world of Apps you don't want to venture out in such a large city without the help of some technology that can take your trip from simply being good, to being great.  Now with Apps like Tripit or Wiki Tour Guide or Around Me, you can have all sorts of information at your fingertips, and with you wherever you go.  Of course you may want to do the traditional tourist attractions such as Disneyland, but you may also want to venture off and explore other parts of the city.

 Another great source of information for food and entertainment in Los Angeles at discounted prices are all the daily deal sites.  Groupon, Living Social and Travel Zoo all offer daily deals from some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles.  Without technology such as a smartphone, ipad and mobile internet service you could miss out on some very nice savings, and who doesn't need a bargain these days.

Unfortunately a lot of people still don't own the resources they need to really take advantage of the all the new mobile technology.  But that's where Travel Entertainment iPads steps in.  They offer both iPads and mobile wifi hotspot for rent.  iPads rent for $24.95/day and mobile wifi hotspots for $11.95/day. Discounts are also available when you rent for multiple days.  www.travelentertainmentipads.com

Food Trucks in Los Angeles May Need To Rent An iPad

Food Trucks in Los Angeles May Need To Rent An iPad.

For the past several years the food truck business in Los Angeles has exploded.  Long gone are the roach coaches of yesterday, and they have been happily replaced with gourmet, and healthy cuisine options from some of the most respected caterers and chefs in Los Angeles.  From Kogi Korean BBQ, Umami Burgers and Ludo Truck, you can find some of the tastiest food served on wheels.

Unfortunately long lines and long wait times have also become a common scene with the increase in the choice of cuisine offered on these foods trucks.  You can now find food trucks at fairs, festivals, fundraisers, parked outside your work office, and on many major busy streets.  It's big business in Los Angeles. At the recent Taste Of Soul outdoor festival in Los Angeles they had 300,000 people attend the event.   Unfortunately for those people who want to grab something quick, the long wait times at food trucks are jeopardizing that opportunity for many people.

If food trucks in Los Angeles want to continue to attract large crowds and not lose customers, especially at lunch time, then they are going to have to improve their customer wait times.  How many times have you attended an outdoor fair or festival and passed on purchasing from a food truck because the line was just too long, and you didn't feel like waiting?  Many of the food trucks in Los Angeles could really benefit from adopting a different ordering system by using new mobile technology such as an iPad. It's not enough to take orders on a paper note pad, or by using just one smartphone with a Square Register device connected to the phone.

An ordering strategy similar to how the famous burger chain In-N-Out burger handles long lines would be welcomed change.  When a customer drives-up to In-N-Out someone is there to take the order relatively soon, even though the customer might be 20 cars behind the actual drive-up window.  They take the order first, then the customer slowly inches their car up to the window to pay for the order.  By completing the ordering process soon,  the customer is comforted that their order is being prepared right away,  and now they also feel committed so they're not likely to just hop out of the line and go eat somewhere else.  Los Angeles food trucks can have the same improved customer experience by simply using an iPad in conjunction with one of the many available iPad apps such as Square Register or Intuit Go Payment.  These apps let you order, pay via cash or credit card, and issues you a receipt.  Food trucks need to stop taking orders only from inside of the truck, and come out meet the customers taking orders on the outside prior to reaching the window. 

Some food trucks aren't always located at very busy locations, and maybe investing big money into purchasing iPads isn't the best use of their money.  That's where Travel Entertainment iPads becomes useful.  They rent iPads to caterers and food trucks for those special events where large crowds are expected.  Renting an iPad for just $24.95 is a worthy investment, especially if it means improving customer service and reducing the chance of losing customers because they are turned off by the long lines,  and wait times, just to place an order.  Travel Entertainment iPad also rents mobile Wifi hotspot devices so food trucks and caterers are  never without an internet connection, and they can connect up to 8 devices to one hot spot.

Food truck vendors and Caterers can rent an ipad from Travel Entertaiment iPads on their website at www.travelentertainmentipads.com, or by telephone at 323 905 4723.

Rent an iPad For Mobile Bidding, Fundraising & Silent Auctions

Mobile Bidding and Fundraisers - Rent An iPad Make It Fun!


Fundraising season is upon us.  So if you're planning a silent auction or mobile bidding as a way to raise money, you may want to rent an iPad for your event. Whether it's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukkah, this is the time of year for parties and celebrations, and also a time when people get into the spirit of giving.

Silent auctions, and bidding on prizes and gifts are the latest activities that are benefiting from the explosive iPad Apps world and the mobile computing options.  Slowly but surely the days of writing your bids on paper are becoming outdated and archaic.  Mobile bidding and silent auctions are now easily conducted using iPads and smartphones.  Event planners, for the first time can take their event to a whole new level. When you move your traditional auction online and allow your attendees to bid from their mobile devices or at bidding stations, you are removing barriers to bidding and adding a new level of excitement to your event.



HandBid, Bidding For Good, and Ready Set Auction are just a few of the companies offering mobile bidding and silent auction automation. Also when you use an iPad with one of these automated tools, and you also use one the credit card payment Apps on the market such as Intuit, or Square Register, then you have a complete solution to making your fundraiser fun, exciting and efficient.

Many fundraising groups don't always have the budgets to purchase iPads so that they can take advantage of these new Apps and automation.  Fundraising groups also still can't completely rely upon all of the guests and bidders having smartphones.  That's where companies like Travel Entertainment iPads becomes useful.  They rent iPads on a short-term daily basis for as little as $24.95, so you can set up mobile bidding stations at the events and reap all the benefits of technology. It's well worth it.  The investment in an iPad rental is a great way to take your fundraising event to the next level without spending a lot of money.
