Short YouTube clip by Mark Simpson advising property managers/hosts not to give their key booking dates to OTAs (online travel agencies). He urges hosts to block prime dates in their PMS/channel manager from OTAs and to promote those dates as direct-book-only via messaging, social media, and texts to retain control and maximize direct sales.
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why are you giving your key dates to the OTAs? I literally. I don't understand this. There's dates in your calendar that you know that you can sell five times over. Yeah, but you are giving it to the OTAs. Why are you giving them your best dates? Go to your pms, go to your channel manager and block those dates out. Block them out to the OTAs. Keep them direct. And then you're going to message, you're going to post on social media, you're going to text, you're going to do whatever you want and say, hey, we have got property in here. If you are coming here, you want to book those dates, you can only book direct. You can only book direct when you come to me.
