A short monologue (YouTube video by Mark Simpson, Feb 24, 2023) about booking strategies for accommodation providers. The speaker explains operational rules used to prioritize long-stay customers: keeping frequent availability, blocking short advance two-night bookings, scheduling calendars to favor long stays, and expecting corporate customers to book roughly seven days before arrival.

We're very easy to book with as well. They ask. We have something available nearly all the time. We try to schedule our calendars to look for the long stays. We don't allow a two night booking, say a month in advance. We just don't allow it. We found that companies know they need the accommodation about seven days before. Usually they're not very well organized so they'll ring you on that week and we try and make sure we have availability.
