Pricing software pushes to PMS, then PMS pushes to OTA.

Link pricelabs to hospitable and let hospitable push that through to Airbnb.

Same thing with Turno.

People will argue whether you need Hospitable if you only have 1 property, but if you are using it, then Pricelabs/Turno should both be hooked to it rather than the OTAs directly.

Beyond Facebook and Instagram, explore off-platform advertising like SEO, PPC ads, email marketing, and content marketing. For better visibility on Facebook, fine-tune your profile, post regularly with great visuals, and use targeted ads. Though online advertising can seem overwhelming, it's a valuable investment with long-term payoffs. If needed, consider a professional digital marketing agency for expert support and campaign management.

I know some people insist on connecting directly with hospitals/travel-nurse placement groups or with insurance companies. IF you can do that, it's not a bad idea, but I think it's a waste of time. Why limit yourself to one group of people? We have medium-term rentals in Colorado Springs and Denver and have always just used the big platforms. I want to be where the most number of eyes are. Airbnb, Zillow, Furnished Finders, (Avail, to name a new one). 

Whatever you think you're losing on Airbnb through fees, you're likely gaining by having a consistent pool of potential renters. For instance, if you charge $3,000/mo for your rental, and you get a 3-month stay, then you're paying $270 to Airbnb (3% of $3,000/mo). But if you're vacant for only 3 days because you're going after a no-fee guest, then you've already lost $300 in vacancy. 

Brian Chesky, Airbnb's CEO, has talked about the shift into the mid-term rental space, and we've seen in our MTRs in Colorado that more and more are coming from there. The writing on the wall tells us Airbnb will be the biggest player in this space very soon (if they aren't already), and I want a good presence on there, with great reviews and Superhost status.

Just my take. Sounds like you're doing well, already. Wishing you the best going forward. Cheers. 

Congratulations on your successful start in Hollywood, FL! To boost bookings, connect with local realtors, engage real estate investors, partner with relocation experts and insurers, offer business rates, target healthcare travelers via Furnished Finder, collaborate with property managers, amp up online advertising, improve your listing, attend networking events, and follow up with potential clients. Building a strong network takes time, but collaboration with industry peers can lead to success for your mid-term rental. Good luck!

1. Make sure you are on all the platforms.

2. For FF tenant have a direct booking site where they can finalize their reservation.

3. My best source to connect with traveling agencies as been furnish finder. Every once in a while I get an agency asking about my listing. Even if I can't accommodate the one they are asking about specifically, I make an effort to build a relationship with the agency.

4. Have teams to handle repairs promptly. 

I have had insurance companies reach out to me through my MTR listing on Zillow. I would list your property on Zillow's platform and have some of these companies reach out to you directly.
