STR Direct Bookings Set Up
Hey all,
A recent BP podcast episode really got me thinking about "leveling up" my STR business through direct bookings and other strategies.
I wanted to throw this out there to connect with other owners that have recently started up a Direct Booking system.
I have some good ideas and some more research I'm continuing to do, but wanted to throw a line out here as well. Feel free to DM me or just comment below 👍🏼

Hospitable is behind on automating direct booking websites. That's the reason I moved to OwnerRez. Their direct booking templates and automation was so fully featured it surprised me. Having said that, I set it up but haven't gotten around to telling my past guests about it yet. I will in the next week or two.
Curious why you wouldn't just ask your past guests to contact you directly if they want to visit again? No fees and all that....
We put up signs in our house asking that. Our direct booking sites only been up the last couple of months.
