Description

If you’re an Airbnb host with a small number of units, you may not think branding is all that important.

But if you want to grow your STR business and enjoy long-term success, it’s never too soon to upgrade from host to hospitality brand.

On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Eric and I sit down to discuss why it’s so important for STR hosts to build a hospitality brand and how branding is born out of the vision of what you want to create.

We walk you through the three key elements of a hospitality brand, weighing in on how branding informs every decision you make—down to the soap and toilet paper you choose for your STRs.

Listen in to understand why a hospitality brand is so much more than a logo and learn how to take the first steps in branding your Airbnb business!
