Direct booking instead of Airbnb: how Property Partners saves fees

„The best part is that we save all the Airbnb fees.“
Before
Everything was manual: constant emails, no automatic acceptance of direct bookings, one person employed just for that.
What we did
A direct-booking website where everything runs fully automatically.
Result
About 20% higher occupancy in the first month, far less work and no Airbnb fees on direct bookings.
Funding
404media took care of the funding; Property Partners got a lot of money back.

With our old website, everything was manual work. We constantly got emails and never had automation so that direct bookings were accepted automatically. We had employed a person just for that. I'm Timo Etlinger, I'm also with Property Partners. We rent apartments short-term, and now with 404media we have a direct-booking website where everything runs fully automatically. Occupancy has definitely gone up by around 20 percent so far. The website has only been online for a month, and the most important thing for us is simply the workload, that it's now a lot less. The best part is that we save all the Airbnb fees, because people now book directly through our website. Working together, especially with Patryk, who I worked with most, was top notch. We had one or two meetings, he brought in all the ideas himself. I gave my input on what I wanted and how the website should look, and he implemented everything perfectly, just the way I wanted it, even better. He exceeded my expectations. The funding was pretty simple. We didn't have much to do with it, 404media took care of everything and we got a lot of money back. I can recommend 404media to anyone, and I thank you for working with us.
