Channel Managers vs. Direct Booking site?
Hello!
In the next 6 weeks I plan to put three new units into service as STR's. I will be using HomeAway and Air BnB as my channels. I already have other properties up on Air BnB. Does anyone else out there use a channel manager? If so, would it be worth it for just two 'channels' or am I better off going direct to the sites?
I am also considering investing in having a website created for direct bookings. I am curious to know if the fees saved are worth the investment and infrastructure cost (web site creation, credit card processing fees) to set up the website.
Thanks!
