[Akash-Alex0]

Hello, this is Alex. I host in airbnb and joined this group to gain some knowledge and connect with professionals. I started in Jan 2024 and its been lots of fun also id like to take it to the next level and learn the inside outs of the business.

Question: 

Harrison hotsprings in B.C; it is slow season during this time, how do I attract more guests using social media? And investing in a hottub a plus point for the business?

Hi Alex, welcome to the group!

To attract more guests during the slow season, social media is a powerful tool. Here are some strategies:

1. Leverage Instagram & Facebook: Showcase your property’s unique features, like cozy indoor spaces, scenic views, and any nearby off-season attractions. Consistent posting with seasonal promotions or special discounts can engage potential guests.

2. Collaborate with Local Influencers: Reach out to local influencers or travel bloggers who might want to stay and share your property with their audience.

3. SEO on Airbnb: Optimize your listing title and description with seasonal keywords, like “winter getaway” or “off-season retreat,” to help it rank higher in search results.

As for the hot tub, it's definitely a great investment! Amenities like this are highly attractive, especially during the colder months, and can set your listing apart from others in your area.

Thank you for raising this topic here!

Did you make a decision regarding the hot tub?

I would suggest connecting with hosts from your area through our Local Host Clubs.

I will also mention hosts from BC to see what they think about this: @Mike3317, @Dorsa10, @Jennifer4886 and @Nicole3842
