At our March 2026 Stay Palmetto meetup, VRBO will walk through practical ways to use promotions and badging to improve booking performance in the Charleston short term rental market. The session will cover the main promotion types, what each one is designed to accomplish, the badging thresholds that matter, and the key customization options that help you stay in control, including block out dates and stay length requirements.

VRBO is a leading vacation rental marketplace that connects travelers with professionally managed and independently hosted whole home stays around the world. Their team will also break down Premier Host, including the updated criteria and milestone structure, how the badge impacts search visibility and placement, and what local market benchmarks in Charleston can tell you about adoption and performance so you can decide what is worth implementing in your own listing strategy.
