As Airbnb gained traction and secured its foothold in the short-term rental market, and subsequently the hospitality business, it became clear that its users clearly valued the communication and experiences they gained from interacting directly with the property owner – not the landlord or manager, but host.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could promote your listings across multiple platforms and not just Airbnb?
You see, there are a few savvy property managers out there that are driving bookings across multiple different channels, and they’re not even breaking a sweat!
They’re using an Airbnb channel manager to do all of the work for them.
Today’s world is more connected than ever. Travelers from all over the globe can book their vacation rental with the click of a button. This accessibility is great for short-term rental companies that make their sales through online booking channels. But with increased opportunity comes increased risk, especially to operators. The sharing economy, which drives the short-term rental industry, opens the door for strangers to take advantage of your property and your business.

But as with any new business, you quickly discover what the repetitive processes are, and you look to streamline and automate as many as you can.
I want to tell you about my experience with short-term rental automation, and give you some insight into my Serviced Accommodation business, as well as my take on using Smartbnb for the better part of the last year.
