Good morning,
I have just been accepted into the Select program but wonder if I want to be part of it?
The new photos are pretty basic, lacking in flair or composition. Some so bad Ive just not used. I have requested if I can exchange for some of my own, however its not possible at this time. The photograhper was not really interested, he just wanted do the job and leave. He missed even basic things like the Iron, kitchen products and utensils etc., which were all clearly available.
The cover shot is pre-selected and shows an area that is basically a walk through from one level to the next? I asked if I could select another, again was told no, marketing research states what is best. Maybe so, but a poor shot is a poor shot.
I do feel Im losing control of a little business I enjoyed running and was doing fairly well with. Having to install a TV in todays world of mobile technology seems pointless, a washing machine would be far more welcome as my clients have often commented. However, I want to fall in line with all the requirements which I have, Ive enjoyed working with Airbnb, but on seeing the photos its pretty disappointing and rather worrying.
Can you opt out of Select and return to the old page format?
Has anyone else had the same problem with the Airbnb 'Professional' photography?
