Prost!🍻

Last weekend, some of our team celebrated Oktoberfest at Glasgow Green’s WEST Brewery.

We enjoyed all the traditional Oktoberfest trimmings: b**r steins, bratwurst, and pretzels – all accompanied by an amazing oompah band!🎺

A great way to unwind, have some fun and catch up outside the office 😊

Meet Redcar Staycations in North Yorkshire🌊

After 10 years with another booking system, property owner Richard decided it was time for a change. He wanted to bring his costs down, get help when he needed it and spend less time dealing with the day-to-day admin.

Since switching to freetobook, he's been seeing more direct bookings through Google, using GuestAppy and Messaging to keep guests happy, and making booking changes with our drag-and-drop diary feature.

And the cost saving? Richard estimates he'snow paying around 30% of what he was paying before!💸

But there's one thing he particularly appreciates about freetobook:

“The beauty of freetobook is you ring the number, and someone answers the phone within seconds.”

Thanks to Richard for sharing his experience!💙

Google vs OTAs: which is best for your independent property?🤔

Both Google Hotel Ads and Online Travel Agents help you get more visibility and more bookings.

The difference is that with Google, guests can click through to book directly with you.

So if you want to create more opportunities for direct bookings, Google Hotel Ads can help.

The good news is that through freetobook, Google Hotel Ads is available internationally in all supported currencies!

Your connection also includes Google Zero – an opportunity to get more direct bookings at no cost.

Iain, our co-Director, was speaking at the Glasgow Riverside Innovation District (GRID) Industry Open Day yesterday🎤

Held at the University of Glasgow, the day brought together academia, businesses and the local community to talk about how we can "build a better Glasgow".

Iain joined a panel discussion on student recruitment, sharing his thoughts on the importance of creating opportunities for local graduates.

It's something we're particularly passionate about at freetobook. 70% of our software developers are University of Glasgow graduates!👩‍💻

One quote from the day really stuck with us: “Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.”

We’re proud to be part of the work to change that.🤝

Do you have empty nights between bookings?🤔

We call these “orphan nights”: one or more unsold nights that don’t meet your usual minimum stay.

A new feature in the freetobook diary helps you spot and fill these gaps.

You can choose to:

🛌Make an exception to your minimum stay
🛌Adjust your rate to make the date more appealing
🛌Leave the gap as it is

This helps you turn empty beds into bookings... and revenue!

90% of guests use Google to search for somewhere to stay. 👩‍💻

Your guests are on Google, and your property should be too.

With Google Hotel Ads, your property can appear across Google Search, Maps, Business Profiles and Google Travel, putting your live rates and availability in front of guests who are actively looking for somewhere to stay.

From there, they can click straight through to book directly with you.

And the big news? 🌍 Google Hotel Ads has gone global.

Properties from Australia to Zambia can get connected through freetobook and start putting their direct booking option in front of more potential guests.

With a low advertising fee of around one-third of typical OTA commission rates, it's a cost-effective way to compete for visibility on Google.

Summer might be over, but that doesn’t mean your direct bookings have to slow down.🍂

The quieter months are a great opportunity to promote autumn and winter stays and start filling next year’s calendar too.

We asked our Account Manager, Heather, to share her top 5 tips for making the most of the months ahead.

As a former B&B owner herself, Heather knows what works. Have a look through for her advice!👇

We recently took a break from our screens for something a little different!

Our Wellbeing Champion, Caroline, organised the first of our new wellbeing workshops: a 60-minute Sonic Reset with Iain from Glasgow Soundbath.

With gongs, metal bowls, bells and chimes moving through the room, it was a chance for everyone to slow down, switch off and take a proper breather in the middle of the working day.

The team returned to their desks practically floating for the afternoon!✨

Thanks to Caroline for organising, and to Iain for giving us such a relaxing lunchtime reset.
