It all started as a half-joke.
One day, Stephanie’s friend was explaining how her time working with a holiday letting agent was coming to an end.
Stephanie had travelled the coasts of Ireland and knew there was an opening for another holiday home agency in Ireland.
So she jokingly said, “Let’s open up our own agency.”
In almost no time, she and a friend built a property rental agency business with over 60 properties across Ireland.
But it wouldn’t last:
Personal circumstances and a change of life routes left the girls with no choice but to close down their agency.
But Stephanie wanted to continue on her STR journey
So she went at it alone.
“A website we built with a different agency cost me over €10,000, and we got no results.”
Stephanie tried to get help.
She paid an agency €10,000 for a website with zero bookings.
And worse, she worked with two popular channel managers who gave her nothing but headaches.
It seemed like she couldn’t rely on anyone.
But then one day, she heard about Boostly on a podcast.
“It all sounded too good to be true.”
She couldn’t believe everything that was being offered.
Her own website…
Learning all about marketing…
A guarantee that she’d double her direct bookings in 12 months.
“I’ve only been up and running for 3 weeks, and we’ve had €20,000 worth of bookings already.”
…And this is before her Boostly website launches.
“I’m so excited. When the website’s finished and we get direct bookings, it will be even better.”
Stephanie was also relieved to discover how much time and money she’d save by not bouncing between 10 different subscriptions to run her agency — her Boostly site does it all!
Without Boostly
With Boostly
“The world’s my oyster!”
What Stephanie loves most of all is the extras that allow her to provide a tailored experience that her competition cannot match:
Thanks to the flexibility and control that Boostly offers, she can:
- Boost revenue during the quieter months
- Get her properties booked during local festivals
- Make her properties a go-to choice for bridal parties, groups etc
