Choosing the right direct booking tool is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a vacation rental host.
Get it right, and you'll capture 30-40% of guests' emails, automate rebooking campaigns, and build a $20K-$50K/year direct booking channel.
Get it wrong, and you'll waste money on a tool you don't use, miss email capture opportunities, and stay 100% dependent on OTAs.
