WHAT’S INCLUDED

Four things,
built in 90 days.

You approve every email before it goes out.

  1. 01

    A past-guest campaign in the first fortnight

    The first email goes to guests who’ve stayed before, built around your next season or event, with one reason to book direct.

  2. 02

    A post-stay and win-back journey

    A thank-you after checkout, then a reason to come back once a guest has gone quiet. Set up once, then it sends itself.

  3. 03

    An email signup with a reason to join

    So new guests and website visitors join your list, instead of leaving to book on Booking.com.

  4. 04

    Tracked booking links and a monthly report

    Every direct booking that comes from an email gets counted. Each month you see what came back and what it was worth.

THE GUARANTEE

3× the fee,
or I keep working.

If tracked bookings don’t bring in at least 3× the fee in booking revenue within 90 days of the first send, I keep working for free until they do.
