Register hereWhat you will learn
Direct bookings remain one of the most powerful, yet challenging strategies for short-term rental operators.
Ahead of SCALE UK, join this live pre-event webinar with Rebecca Ward (Simply Owners), Miles Hobson (Hospitable) and Craig Webb (Webb Marketing Services) as they break down what’s changed in the past few years, why “book direct” is more important than ever in 2025 and how to future-proof your strategy for 2026.
From boosting your website’s visibility and building guest trust, to improving conversions and retention, our panellists will focus on what really works and share practical recommendations operators can act on today.
You’ll also have the chance to put your questions directly to the panellists in a live Q&A.
This is your opportunity to hear from the experts before they take the stage in Manchester and to pick up a few takeaways that will help strengthen your direct booking channels for the year ahead.
Who is it for
This webinar is for every short-term rental operator who’s tired of handing over margins to OTAs. If you manage holiday lets, serviced accommodation or larger portfolios and want to build a stronger, more profitable direct booking channel, this session will show you what works now and what will keep you competitive in 2026.
