It’s that time of year again – when the days become longer, the flowers start to bloom, and the sun begins to shine, it can only mean one thing: spring is here! Spring cleaning your property should not be limited to its skirting boards and the insides of cupboards. Ensuring your property is up to scratch and looking its very best starts from within. Here are a few practical steps you can take to optimise your SuperControl account to keep your self-catering business in tip-top shape:
Put your Cleaning on Autopilot
Designed to integrate with SuperControl, Property Care enables you to automate and assign tasks, create custom lists, and communicate with your team of housekeepers and maintenance staff. Its all-in-one hub is customisable to your operational needs to reduce the admin’ burden and pressure of overseeing your housekeeping team and tasks, putting your cleaning operations on autopilot.
Protect and Perfect
SuperControl is cleaning up behind the scenes, so much so that we recently upgraded all accounts to include Booking Protect. Booking Protect is a refund protection specialist that offers guests the option to request a full refund from Booking Protect should they, or anyone in their party, be unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. This upgrade not only gives your guests peace of mind, but it’s also an excellent source of additional income as you make a 20% commission with Booking Protect – perfect!
Polish and Sparkle
Create a sparkling experience for your guests and an opportunity to earn additional revenue with a little bit of polish! Adding magical extras from the moment your guests start to look to when they book and throughout their stay will make your property shine and stand out from the crowd. As an added bonus, you can provide your guests with access to SuperControl’s Guest Login. This allows them to access their booking information, check-in and check-out times, and other details about their stay. Plus, you can offer extras such as discounts on local attractions and activities, special offers for repeat guests, and more. Your SuperControl account is your magic wand to add value through upselling with booking extras, so what are you waiting for – Bibbidi Boddidi Boo!
Scouring the Web
Are you looking to drive demand? Booking channels such as Airbnb and Booking.com can increase your property’s visibility and credibility to convert ‘lookers’ into ‘bookers’. You can quickly increase your visibility and reach by connecting to these channels through SuperControl’s Channel Manager. We’re continually working on providing the most suitable, simple and trusted channel integrations on behalf of our community. With over 50 booking channels at your fingertips, there’s an opportunity for every type of self-catering business.
Lighten the Load
If you prefer to lift the marketing load yourself, preplanning auto email marketing campaigns can save you bucketloads of time and open up a channel of communication with potential bookers. We all know how time-consuming it can be to communicate with your guests. With SuperControl, you can set up automated email and SMS templates so you can send guests all the information they need without lifting a finger. From welcome emails to notifications on check-in and check-out times, you can ensure your guests have all the information they need to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
And don’t forget the nooks and crannies!
Like finding a few quid down the side of the sofa, booking fees can offer a nice little extra. A small percentage booking fee can make a steady source of additional income and can be added to your SuperControl account with ease. Every little helps and spring cleaning with SuperControl can keep your property spick and span.
