Recent work I have completed for fussy clients (us!) setting up a new short stay accommodation property Teralina Beach House. Including:
Photography
Styling (although not a lot, I keep it simple and completely uncluttered as that is what you need to relax on holidays)
Website(just a simple one a place for our guests to book direct. If I am going to the effort of promoting my own property on social media then I need to be taking direct bookings, I do not want that commission going to a booking channel)
Booking Channels (like air bnb, Booking .com, stay z etc, there are 400 now!!!)
Social media
organising the stock and operations
Although I am not interested in managing other peoples properties for them ongoing, I do get employed to help people with the photography and set up accommodation. I have done quite a bit of this in the past including at my other business Little Norfolk Bay Events and Chalets. I have helped quite a few home and shack owners to start their short stay so they can manage it themselves. Be warned though during the initial consultations with me, I will be honest and I will share my honest near 30 years of hospitality experience, so I may not tell you what you want to hear. I have suggested in the past to putting the house/unit back on the rental market as it is may probably be a lot easier and better for their bank account. I do not sell the Air bnb dream of easy money, as it is not! I do think though with some good photos, promotion that the average short stay accommodation could do a lot better than they do and the investment in my services is always returned quickly.
