#16: Increasing Bridal Bookings for Your STR with Stacey Paretti-Rase

As an Airbnb host, it can be tempting to just stick to your comfort zone. But if you want to increase your bookings and profits – and your short-term rental business as a whole – it’s important to try new things.

Marketing to brides and bridal parties can be a smart strategy for short-term rental owners looking to tap into a growing and lucrative market: after all, brides are often looking for unique and memorable places to stay close to their wedding venue.

By supporting brides and bridal parties, short-term rental owners and operators can get plugged into a high demand and potentially increase their bookings (and profits!).

So, how do you actually do this? Well, in this episode, Stacey Rase shares her strategies for success! In addition to sharing how she markets to brides and how she serves her guests, we also chat it up about how she partners with local businesses, communities, and charity organizations.
