Mark Simpson (speaker) gives practical advice for property owners/managers to maximize bookings: ensure your properties are bookable by opening calendars fully in your property management system and consider restricting OTA availability for dates more than two months out. The clip focuses on calendar-availability tactics heading into late 2021 and 2022.
Anywhere over two months in advance.
So the most important thing that I would stress at this point, and again, we'll delve into it a little bit more as we go, is make sure that you are bookable. So open up your calendar to as far as you possibly can on your pms. Definitely direct. What I love to do and what I love to encourage is, and this all depends on who you have as your property management software. And just so I'm aware for the room, does everybody know what I mean when I say property management software? Yes or no? It all depends on who you're with. But what I encourage everybody to do is when you're looking at your calendar for the rest of 2021 and into 2022, I would be closing off your availability to the OTAs anywhere over two months in advance.
