AirBnB Is
No Longer
A Hobby
🆘 The problem- Demand is down - supply is way up
- Getting bookings through winter has become very hard
- Most towns have seen +60% increases in the number of holiday lets over the past 2 years
- Guest demand has fallen off - due to the cost of living crisis
✅ The Solution
Sean@SmartStayz
BA(Hons) - FCCA - CeMap
Accountant & Online Marketing Expert
Property Owner Since 2003
Landlord since 2003 - building up a portfolio of 20 properties over 18 months
Divorced in 2012 - left with 9 properties - all buy to let
I was making small profits with the buy to lets
Interest rates and apartment management fees took their toll
So I decided to try 1 flat on Booking.com - in Doncaster!
Hardly a holiday destination - so I didn't know what to expect
In my first month I made an income of £2,000
Versus the £500 rental I'd be taking
🚀 That was the start
I never looked back!

Accounting & Marketing Background
It's all about the detail
✅ Winning combination
Thinking as an accountant allows me to see the bigger picture - whilst paying attention to the many variables in play - delivering success
- Thinking as an online marketing expert - allows me to deliver the right message using both booking.com/airbnb etc + social media
- Every booking is feedback - allowing me to tighten up the algorithms
The results speak for themselves
Pricing Software
The Beating heart of my strategy
🆘 The problem
- Do you or I know the nightly rate of your property for any given month?
- How do we charge more for weekends?
- How do we create an intelligent last miniute price - dependent upon how busy the property already is?
These are just some of the issues surrounding the creation of a successful online pricing strategy
✅ The solution
- My 3rd party software can handle the above and a whole lot more to create a very powerful strategy
- This strategy can be layered on top of the booking platforms' (booking.com - airbnb - vrbo etc) internal pricing mechanisms to further enhance performance
- Trust the science - no more leaving money on the table
Guest Communication Automation
Welcome your guest whilst you're sleeping
🆘 The problem
- Can you always be around when you guest makes a booking?
- How do you remember the keybox entry code to message them?
- How do you remember to ask for a review or offer them a direct booking discount?
✅ The solution
- My 3rd party software handles guest communication once they make a booking
- It will also request reviews and offer discounts etc
- I have years of handling any guest issues and only includude the client if required
When Can You Expect Bookings?
Trust the process
✅ Around 7 days of our meeting and taking photos
