And the So, Okay, welcome to the Boost Hospitalia podcast. My name is Mark Simpson, and in this episode we are going to talk about

direct bookings. Now for those of you that are tuning in that don't know what a direct

booking is, it is all when a guest books with you and not via a third party.

And in this season I've been talking about lots of things around serviced accommodation but this is the one that I've been looking forward to doing the most because this is where my world comes in to this. As always it is not just me on this episode I asked Ben

Porter-Smith to join me. Ben has a digital marketing agency as well as having a property portfolio. He likes to

practice what he preaches. So he uses his properties his rental properties around

Dunbaron to practice little tactics and tips to increase his bookings and when

they work he then tells his clients about them and it's

a phenomenal tactic I love it is what I've done at the granary to grow my business, Boostly. And what we wanted to do, we wanted to put together

an episode that will help everybody pick up some tactics and tips.

So what are we going to talk about in this episode?

We're going to talk about email market,

and we're going to talk about your customer avatar,

your pictures.

We're going to talk about what the main thing that he notices that rental

and as you are going along, if there's anything you want to give me feedback on, go on to

Twitter, it's at Boostle UK, or you can catch me on Instagram at Boostle UK.

Send me a message with your feedback and let me know what you're doing

to increase your direct bookings. Okay, let's get on with the show.
