Case studies

Documented results from real operator teams

A closer look at the operators using guest relationships as a more reliable source of direct revenue.

Home Team — $22,614 in 8 days

An outbound SMS campaign to 2,500 past guests drove 68 conversations and 9 direct bookings in just over a week.

Luxury Vacation Stays — 10x ROI

Automated winbacks and repeat-booking workflows produced $75,000 in direct revenue in a single quarter.

B2 Vacations — $450K+ direct revenue

Targeted email and SMS campaigns re-engaged past guests and generated more than $450,000 in direct bookings in one year.

Reserver.ca — 80% automated

Up to 80% of guest communications automated, with 1,200+ new email opt-ins in four months.

Outbound SMS

One text, real bookings

Operators have turned a single SMS campaign into $12,000 from one peak-week booking — past guests are the cheapest revenue you have.

Guidebooks & upsells

Revenue and data from every stay

Seacoast saw 13.5% upsell conversion and 262 new guest emails; UHP recovered nine 'lost' bookings in a month and about $6,000/mo influenced by automation.
