Why bookingready.com?
If you are in accommodation business for some time - you know that internet marketing is the most important aspect of your sales. Being owner of hostels and apartments, I have experienced myself all the problems arising from improper management of my digital presence.
Although lot of my reservations were coming from booking.com, hostelworld.com and similar portals I have to say that provisions that I was paying to them were one of the biggest expenses besides the salaries of my employees and other expenses.
After some time I realized I should create a website that would allow me to receive reservations directly and decrease the expense that could reach from 8 to 15% of your booking. I approached several digital marketing companies and received different offers ranging from few hundreds of dollars all the way to several thousands. I chose one solution that had the average price and thought that my headache is about to end. I was so wrong.
The website that I received did not fulfill the aesthetic criteria I was expecting, was not communicating the values I wanted to transfer and 6 months later I have realized that the website cannot be ever optimized for search engines such as Google - from which my competition was receiving majority of qualified leads and reservations.
I paid again to another company and thought that now everything will be fine. I spent much more money this time buying SEO services in addition to website re-design and content management system that was supposed to be easy to use.
After 3 months of constant communication we have managed to complete the website that was much better, however optimization was still not working out so we took advice that we received from the company and started using Google adwords. I have to say that this was cheaper way of getting clients at the time compared to popular booking engines. However, the competition for the best keywords was becoming fierce and gradually this increased cost per click putting me in not really nice position.
My solution to this problem was - let's try with SEO company - after only 6 months they managed to move us for some keyword phrases - but by this time I have already spent enormous sums of money on something that still had limited success.
That's when I realized that the only way to do this is to start learning all of this on my own. This was very radical shift as I had to completely dedicate all of my life to changing career.
I have sold my business and started learning everything that was mainstream in the area of internet marketing at them time - this was year 2005.
After spending years in digital marketing, leading teams for internet marketing working as digital marketing manager for others and my company, and meeting my current business partner, I have to say that we have done our best to create scaleable solution for all the people who are in the accommodation property business - bookingready.com.
