What have you tried to increase your STR bookings? Anyone Try a design refresh?

[Rafael Ramon]

Hey fellow investors!

I hope this post finds you well. I've been in the exciting world of short-term rentals for 4 years now and have been actively exploring strategies to increase bookings for my properties. I know many of you have a wealth of experience, and I'd love to tap into that collective knowledge.

Here are a few questions to kick off the discussion given the current state of short term rentals:

1. 1. What specific strategies have you implemented to boost bookings for your short-term rentals as of late?
2. 2. Have you tried a design refresh or any other strategies, and has it faired well?
3. 3. How do you optimize your pricing to attract more guests without compromising profitability?
4. 4. Do you have any favorite tools or platforms that have been particularly helpful in your booking optimization efforts?
5. 5. Have you successfully utilized social media or other marketing channels to increase your property's visibility?

Feel free to share your success stories, lessons learned, and any challenges you've overcome. I believe our experiences can benefit the entire community of investors, especially those who are just starting or looking to enhance their booking strategies.

Let's make this a collaborative space where we can support and inspire each other on our short-term rental journeys!

Looking forward to hearing your insights and tips.

Cheers,
