Let’s face it, optimizing nightly rates or cutting costs can only increase profits so much. This is where upselling comes in. Upselling allows property managers to boost profits independently of bookings. The revenue from upsells is pure profit, as it’s separate from booking income and doesn’t need to be shared with homeowners. However, vacation rental businesses often encounter challenges in implementing upsells, such as technical issues and uncertainty about which upsells to offer.

In this eBook we share the insights collected from thousands of real transaction data from upsells bought by guests. We then identified which upsells are most popular, and provide advice and checklists on how to get started.
