Okay, so today, on Saturday, something slightly different. This week I've obviously been going through some free training that we've been doing and hosts are now cracking on with some homework over the weekend.

But I wanted to just revert back to what a normal podcast would look like.

And I want to give you and share with you some insider industry news.

And this is really good news for anybody that is in a rural location or does Glampin.

Glampin is, of course, glamorous camping.

Yirt lodges you name it.

That is what Glampin covers.

The latest results out there show that there's been a 300% increase in the past year with people wanting to stay in a unique experience.

So for anybody who has a glampin property on a farm stay location, anything like that, you really, really need to be putting your prices up.

The man is so high right now. So if you haven't acted already and even if you may have some availability coming up, really put the prices up and you will be still be getting those bookings.

Do not be afraid to put your rates up.

Also as well, talk about it on social media.

If it's something that is so popular, then the activity on keywords around Glampin or unique stays are going to be high as well.

If you can get a post or a story or something out there and using those hashtags, you will be invisible.

Again, what else can you be doing to be in front of the traffic?

You can be number one, going and looking at Facebook groups for really good for last minute bookings.

If you still need inquiries and dates to fill the summer, this is where you need to use the OTAs.

So go to your listings, update your amenities, update your title, change the picture around, make it more unique and stand outable because the demand is so high right now.

So that's my big tip for today. Very, very focused on the amazing people who do glampin properties.

Whatever your business model falls under there, tiny houses, you name it, go and make your property stand out, put your prices up and shout out about it online.

And save it, you have got last minute availability. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the rate and the booking and the amount that you can get.

And the beauty of it is, if you do this correctly, you're really proactive. It will be a direct booking as well.
