Airbnb just changed everything with their new fee structure—and most hosts are sleepwalking into smaller profits.
In this episode of Booked Solid, Sam Mistretta returns to share what he's learned after 18 months in the trenches helping hosts drive repeat bookings through text and email marketing. Sam built a system that grew his own direct booking revenue by 400%, and his company, Go STR Marketing, now helps hosts achieve an average 650% ROI on their guest retargeting campaigns.
We break down why authentic, personal communication outperforms corporate branding, why coupon codes aren't the magic bullet you think they are, and the one rental agreement strategy that's still flying under Airbnb's radar. Whether you're a new host or managing dozens of properties, this conversation will shift how you think about guest relationships and building a direct booking business that compounds over time.
