Takeaways

Stay-fi is a guest Wi-Fi marketing tool that helps short-term rental operators collect valuable marketing data from every guest staying with them.

By collecting guest email addresses, operators can introduce their brand to every person staying in their property and market to them for future direct bookings.

Email marketing can be used to inform guests about availability, local events and activities, new properties, and last-minute cancellations.

Operators can leverage direct bookings to fill calendar gaps and offer reduced rates to past guests while maintaining higher prices on OTAs.

The upcoming training event, 'Shaping the Future of Direct Bookings,' will cover website optimization, email marketing, SEO, and data collection strategies.
