Hi Jacson,

Is this an actual case prompt? If so, happy to spend time answering. If it's for your personal ventures, well, good luck :)

Hello,

Is there a specific case prompt you are working on here? If not, this might not be the best forum to get advice on this - this is a forum geared towards helping people navigate the recruiting process in consulting, not to give out consulting advice.

Dear Jackson,

Vacation rental, I mention some basics that are easy to conceptualize and many candidates find easy as analyses:

A) do a profitability analysis, revenue opportunities and cost positions. Focus on revenue opportunities and see how you can expand, what are these options and how should you pursue them for success?

B) Go through marketing, often very important for smaller firms is how to gain new customers in high a number. for example suggest to partner with another firm that could offer customers for you as they provide a different service and could refer them to you or fund all-inclusive marketing partners.

C) the impact of seasonality, geography and clientele are probably some interesting economic factors to  if looked at them more broadly with what is the economic support to master these? Look at clientele as this seems could be sth that you can change easily. When looking at your offering check if that can be improved, is there availability of rentals and are the technological factors favorable enough? For example vacation rentals need an easy for the customer to use platforms and have many really large competitors that often appear first on Google  however you might be able to do a lot of marketing locally and still gain customers this way. 

Best regards
