Most boutique hotel owners and short-term rental operators think collecting guest emails from Airbnb means they own the relationship.

But here’s the truth: Airbnb still owns your guests.

In this episode, Yanique DaCosta breaks down why having a guest’s email doesn’t mean you have their loyalty—and how to build a system that turns OTA visitors into lifelong, direct-booking guests of your brand.

You’ll learn:

💡 Why Airbnb’s “Off-Platform Policy” keeps you from marketing freely

💡 How platforms use guest data to retarget your customers

💡 Why you keep paying commission for repeat guests

💡 How to build real brand loyalty outside Airbnb’s ecosystem

💡 The post-stay system that keeps guests booking directly with you

If your guest list is growing but your profit margins aren’t, this episode will change how you think about marketing forever.
