Expanding email marketing outsourcing, cheaper mesh hardware options, and enhanced upsell capabilities (early check‑in, late checkout, experiences) to diversify revenue streams and reduce dependence on OTAs.
Now YOU Can Own Your Guest Info (NOT Airbnb) With This Simple WiFi Tool | Arthur Colker
Q: Aside from installing hardware, what can co-hosts or unit owners do to leverage StayFi for a strong direct‑booking business?

Now YOU Can Own Your Guest Info (NOT Airbnb) With This Simple WiFi Tool | Arthur Colker
Q: What is StayFinder and why did you launch it?
StayFinder was inspired by independent hotel collectives; it functions as a network where properties share emails for a StayFi‑powered marketing effort, and guests are shown direct‑price options across listings, ultimately directing bookings to host websites.
Now YOU Can Own Your Guest Info (NOT Airbnb) With This Simple WiFi Tool | Arthur Colker
Q: When they launched StayFi, was the big play for you the emails and the revenue potential from email marketing?
The focus was on empowering small and mid‑sized operators to own guest data and drive direct bookings, with email marketing as a core channel because it offers high ROI and a scalable way to stay connected with guests across stays.
