Anyone using or even heard of proximity marketing? 

Been getting more and more realtors on board with proximity marketing. A great way to reach hundreds of people around a home you are listing. Not sure why everyone would not want to do this. $69 per month for 3 units. Some realtors spend that a week on coffee or cookies for an open house. Spend your money on marketing. Take a look https://asirvia.com/dgloss

The website I was referring to is Tripz. I welcome everyone to take a look and give feedback.

I was not referencing a cheaper cost in terms of lessor quality. I was comparing if you had the same or similar option on multiple sites, the cheapest site would gain the most bookings from a cost standpoint. The reason it can function without charging the fee's is because everything is not automated. The owner is still handling the transaction. Thus booking directly. This would be a site that serves more like the marketing arm, getting you all the traffic and bookings to your listings. So paying a few hundred dollars per year to have your listings advertised seems like a no brainer. Not to mention you can write off the cost upfront as a marketing expense. 

The listings can all be uploaded with everything into this new site. No need to create new listings.

Every company/site has to start somewhere and nobody wants to be the first. I totally understand not wanting to waste money on an opportunity. What else would entice everyone to list on a new site? What about being grandfathered into the lower fee for the life of the site? What if it works and you make more revenue? Can they charge more based on amount of bookings after the initial cost? Or is the small upfront cost worth the risk. A new company needs to get the bookings to succeed and grow organically and viral.  

I hear more bad than good with the top sites. Fee's are high, not easy to use, bad customer service, no coverage on damages etc. etc. Keeping the bookings direct is the way to go. Everyones feedback is greatly appreciated. 

Interesting! Thanks for the feedback. What about a newer site that doesn't charge any booking fee's to the renters. That would always make your property on that site the cheapest. Which would result in more bookings. Also they don't charge any service fee's, just a one time annual fee.

With so many sites and the service fees and % increasing. How do you choose which site to list on? Wouldn't it be better to list on a site with no booking or service fees?
