Nick moved 40% of his bookings off OTAs without losing the high-season nights.

Headline metric: [TBD] commission saved · 12 months

The before

Booking takes 25% on Niseko ski-season bookings. Nick was watching the highest-revenue nights of the year get taxed hardest. Manual repricing every night before bed.

The trigger

Lost a [TBD] USD booking to a double-booking error across Airbnb and Booking. Decided spreadsheets were over.

The setup

Imported all 9 properties in one afternoon. Plugged in WhatsApp and Booking-direct guests onto the direct-booking site over the next week.

The result

  • [TBD] revenue lift in the first ski season
  • [TBD]% of repeat guests rebooking direct
  • Zero double-bookings since switching
