Don't Rely on Airbnb, Build Your Own Direct Booking Platform | Mark Simpson E36

In today’s episode, Rich sits down with Mark Simpson, founder of Boostly – a company that gives hosts and property managers the tools, tactics, and training to increase their direct bookings. Mark is from the UK and grew up in the hospitality industry, which is where his passion began for helping other hosts. Rich and Mark talk about the importance of building your business using your own direct booking platform, and not fully relying on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, or other platforms. They discuss building relationships and partnerships locally and nationally, the role SEO plays in your property’s performance, how to convert a “looker into a booker”, and the future of Airbnb along with a few key changes they’ll be rolling out soon. // Connect with Mark on Instagram: @boostlyuk / Website: https://boostly.co.uk/ Join our investor waitlist and stay in the know about our next investor opportunity with Somers Capital: www.somerscapital.com/invest.
