If distribution (or making bookings!) is of higher priority to you than overcoming operational challenges, then Rentals United can be used as your sole software. Read on!
Once you have signed up to Rentals United, we will ask you to upload your properties manually using our 15-minute property upload tool, or if you have an Airbnb account you can pull your listing straight from them.
Run your listings through the Rentals United Quality Checker. This optimisation report will state where improvements are needed for each property to increase their marketability and reach. From the amount of images at the right resolution to whether rates or amenities are missing. Don’t underestimate the power of the Quality Checker - the time spent on your rental optimisation will be rewarded with improved conversion rate in the channels.
Get your guests to book directly using our optimised Book Direct pages. With every property you upload, we automatically create a sleek property page advertising your prices, availability, photos and content. Guests can check your pricing & availability right away, proceed to checkout and confirm the reservation.
You will be contacted by your dedicated Implementation Specialist who will suggest appropriate channels for your distribution mix. They will clarify all the detailed information on channel requirements (many channels have their own set of rules and commissions).
If you already have an account with a channel, your onboarding will be instantaneous. For connections with channels that you weren’t previously connected with, the onboarding can vary from 24 hours to a couple of weeks.
Use specialised software to analyse your market, properties and bookings. Your listing will be updated daily based on changes in supply and demand in the market, day of week, seasonality, and local events.
This is particularly helpful as guests nowadays can compare pricing instantly online, it’s increasingly essential to use a Yield/ Revenue Management software to stay competitive.
