<p>In this episode of The Heads In Beds Show (Part Two), Paul and Conrad dive into the early stages of the vacation rental guest journey — where interest is sparked and decisions begin to form. </p><p>They explore how true inspiration often comes from unexpected, memorable experiences and how smart property managers can tap into that moment before a guest is even planning a trip. From the role of local tourism boards to leveraging blog content and “pattern interrupts,” they unpack why this top-of-funnel phase is often overlooked—and how to make your brand unforgettable.</p><p>As guests shift into research mode, the pressure’s on. The hosts break down what travelers are really looking for when comparing destinations and rentals—and why your website needs to stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Airbnb. If your site leaks trust, design, or information, you’ll lose them fast. Tune in to learn how to optimize your marketing for these make-or-break early stages and build demand that puts your properties in high demand (waitlist, anyone?).</p><p>⭐️ Links & Show Notes</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-manzey-27583094/">Paul Manzey </a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/conradoconnell/">Conrad O'Connell</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/conradoconnell_the-majority-of-vacation-rental-marketing-activity-7294712999158706176-gcUk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAA-fSukBsyJ2QwXwLHDR6qyeaPL6edVPRVg">Conrad's LinkedIn Post</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3SliFIA">Conrad's Book: Mastering Vacation Rental Marketing</a></li><li><a href="https://courses.buildupbookings.com/">Conrad's Course: Mastering Vacation Rental Marketing 101</a></li><li><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/7943d5e7">Part One Of This Series</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>🔗 Connect With BuildUp Bookings</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.buildupbookings.com/">Website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BuildUpBookings/">Facebook Page</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/buildupbookings/">Instagram</a></li></ul><p><br>🚀 About BuildUp Bookings</p><p>BuildUp Bookings is a team of creative, problem solvers made to drive you more traffic, direct bookings and results for your accommodations brand.
