What is the Best Channel Manager?

[Matthew Vahabzadeh]

Hey all!  I'm somewhat new to managing vacation rentals.  I have one property of my own, which I have been very successful in renting out for the past 4 years.  I want to make managing my property easier, as well as take on clients in the area to manage theirs as well.  I have been scouring all over the internet for different resources to aid me, but would love some input.  I was wondering, what is the best channel manager currently on the market?  I would like to reach as many channels as possible with ease.

Additionally, are there any other resources that I should look into?  I have been playing with dynamic pricing tools and am open to any other suggestions that may help me with my new business.

Thank you!

Channel managers can change dramatically on offerings from one product to the next, even as you scale your operation the services offered might be outgrown and you may need to find a new one. What are you looking to utilize the channel manager for? Revenue management? Data integration? Guest communication? Guest message automation? Take the time to learn about what you need and then go from there. In addition most channel managers tend to come at a cost depending on number of listings. All of them typically offer free trials, demo versions, and will schedule calls and webinars with you to show the features, take advantage of it!
