Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Attracting Large Groups to your Property with Ed Maughan & Sarah Pursey
Q: What keeps a multi-site property standing out in a crowded market for group bookings?
Continual facility improvements, clear marketing of different spaces, use of high-quality photography and video, and features that appeal to groups (like cinema rooms) help attract repeat bookings and referrals from satisfied guests.
Attracting Large Groups to your Property with Ed Maughan & Sarah Pursey
Q: How important are floor plans and how should hosts approach collecting contact details from group guests?
Floor plans are essential for logistics and reducing conflicts over rooms; providing printable PDFs helps families plan. Regarding emails, it's about balancing data collection with guest comfort, using lighter touchpoints first (like Instagram) before trying to gather emails for future marketing.
Attracting Large Groups to your Property with Ed Maughan & Sarah Pursey
Q: What marketing tips would you have for hosts marketing to larger groups for the first time?
The core advice is to showcase the full property with clear visuals, provide detailed floor plans and room configurations, optimize your own website with ample information, and use listing sites strategically while continually updating content and photos.
Attracting International Guests to a Remote Location with Ben Makin, The Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage
Q: What marketing's work best for attracting overseas guests?
First, know your avatar with a detailed, low-pressure paper questionnaire to capture travel motivations and preferences. Then use that data to tailor messaging, while leveraging OTAs strategically to access international audiences and open calendars early for longer lead times.
How we built Acorn Glade Glamping with Wendy Wilkinson
Q: How do you balance direct bookings with OTAs, and what has worked best for you?
OTAs are useful as search engines and to fill gaps, but we focus on building direct relationships through emails and personal messaging to drive bookings and repeat visits, using OTAs strategically rather than as the sole channel.
