So where you don't have to rely on airbnbandbooking.com to do so, we're a one stop shop here at Booster. You can get everything from website design, content creation, training, you name it, it's all here. So head to booster.co.uk. if you are new here, please do make sure that you like this video comment and share it around. Please let me know where you're watching from in the world in the comments in the chat and I will try and get back to everybody in today I wanted to introduce to you to a new tool something that I think will help everybody, especially when it comes to direct bookings. This company is called Stay Phi S T A Y f I so boostly.co.uk forward/s t a Y F I and what it is is think about how many people you get to come and stay in your property on a year by year basis and come and now think about how many people actually use your WI fi. Now we give WI fi away for free. One of the hotels do really well in getting guest data is putting a little masking page so to speak on the WI fi. So if you want wifi you've got to sign up for it and we do it, we're free, we do it willingly. So the problem has been is that there's never been the equivalent for small businesses, short term rentals, bed and breakfast. I dabbled with this software in 2013 and the the software was crap, it was annoying, it didn't work, it was overpriced. I've been very, very, very excited recently to discover about Stay Fi and the good news is is that very are very soon expanding all over the world. They you can literally buy it and set it up. Now they are expanding their software to make it multilingual and it is so exciting. The founders of Stayfi have asked me to hold off from recording this video but I want to talk about it now. So I want to get everybody to get ready for it. The way that it works is a little device it will go into your property. If anybody wants to use the WI fi they need you need, they need to give you their email address and sign up with for all the GDPR and all that lovely stuff. But once you've got their email, you've got their email, you can sync into your mailchimp to your mailchimp provider, whoever that may be, and you can then send emails to them. Now, the cool thing is, is that normally when you do this, you only get the booker's email, but with this technology you get the whole party's email. So if you say, get a group of friends come, or if you get a group of workers come, you will get all of data, so then you can then remarket them in the future. This is such an important piece of kit, I cannot even begin to describe how essential it is that you go and get them for your property. So if you've got one property or you've got a hundred, this is going to be the way forward. I know a couple of people who are using it already and they have given me some raving reviews and they are now using the Boostly templates that I give in my coaching program and it is working so well. So please do go check them out. It's Boostly B o o s t l y.co.uk stay set, send them a message, send them an email, send them an Instagram message, send them a group chats, get on a call with them, have a chat with them. Please do say that Boostly sent you because they'll know why there's so many Europeans coming to them all of a sudden. But do go check them out. It is mine. It is one of my most recommended things that you do this year. It is a cost, but it's a small cost in comparison to the return of investment that you're going to get on diary bookings. So again, that stay for B o o s t l y.co.uk stay fi s t a y f I go do that right now, go get them installed and then please, please share with me the amazing results and all those diary bookings that you are going to get on the backend for.
