Podcasts about bookings

Bookings feel slower. Buyers seem harder to reach. The market feels crowded and uncertain. If you've been wondering what's going on, you're not alone.In this solo episode, I'm walking through what I see happening across the wedding industry right now. I'll share my perspective on shifting buyer behavior, rising competition, changing definitions of luxury, and the day-to-day challenges of trying to grow a creative business in a more complex market.This episode is here to give you clarity. Not just about what's happening, but about what to focus on. Things feel different because they are. But that doesn't mean your business can't grow. You just need a clear view of the landscape and a plan for how to show up inside it.Takeaways:Luxury is about how you make people feel. A beautiful design means less if the experience behind it is stressful or disconnected.There are only so many premium clients to go around. More vendors are chasing fewer seats at the high-end table, which makes relationships and consistency even more important.You don't need a perfect booking. Two out of three is enough. If the price is right, the project is interesting, or the client is kind, take the win.Results follow effort. Keep improving your follow-up, your portfolio, your proposal, and your presence. Focus on what you can control and keep showing up.

Join Booked & Better Monthly Resource Subscription here Are you tired of offering freebies on your website that no one downloads? In this episode of the Private Practice Podcast, I share the new way to attract more inquiries and client bookings using interactive, implementation-based resources that actually work. Traditional PDFs and ebooks no longer carry the value they once did—thanks to AI, clients can find the same information in seconds. But by creating interactive tools that provide real results and experiences, you can build trust, credibility, and genuine engagement that turns website visitors into paying clients. This episode is for therapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and play therapists who want to stand out in private practice. You'll walk away knowing how to: Replace outdated freebies with tools that actually convert Build stronger connections and authority with potential clients Use interactive resources across multiple areas of your practice—supervision, referrals, waitlist support, and even passive income Get a quick win by evaluating your current freebie and making it more engaging Quick Action Step: Review your freebie today and ask yourself—does this help my client create a real change or result? If not, it's time to update it into something more interactive.

Red tourism, visiting locations with historical significance to the Communist Party of China, is sweeping the nation as China celebrates the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggressionfrom1931 to 1945 and the World Anti-Fascist War.在中国庆祝中国人民抗日战争（1931-45）和世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年之际，参观对中国共产党具有历史意义的地点的红色旅游正在席卷全国。Jinggangshan city in East China's Jiangxi province has seen bookings to its Red tourism scenic spots rise by 22 percent this summer, according to travel portal Qunar. The city is considered a cradle of the Chinese revolution where the CPC established its first rural revolutionary base in 1927.根据旅游门户网站去哪儿网的数据，今年夏天，中国东部江西省井冈山市红色旅游景点的预订量增长了22%。这座城市被认为是中国革命的摇篮，1927年中国共产党在这里建立了第一个农村革命根据地。Bookings to other renowned Red tourism spots such as Yan'an in Shaanxi province and Shaoshan in Hunan province have increased by 20 percent and 12 percent, respectively, year-on-year, according to Qunar.去哪儿网的数据显示，陕西省延安市和湖南省韶山市等其他著名红色旅游景点的预订量同比分别增长了20%和12%。"I'm deeply touched by the perseverance, upbeat and unyielding spirit of Chinese soldiers during their long and arduous fights against the Japanese invasion in the 1930s and 1940s," said Ye Mingsheng, 17, while visiting the Taihang Memorial Museum of the Eighth Route Army in late July with his parents.7月下旬，17岁的叶明生和父母一起参观太行八路军纪念馆时说：“中国士兵在20世纪三四十年代长期艰苦的抗日战争中表现出的毅力、乐观和不屈的精神让我深受感动。”。He said visiting the memorial hall was like attending an immersive history lesson, where he could feel the difficulties the Chinese soldiers had faced during the war, and their optimism and unyielding determination have also inspired him. "The trip has intensified my national ethos," he said.他说，参观纪念馆就像上了一堂身临其境的历史课，在那里他可以感受到中国士兵在战争期间面临的困难，他们的乐观和不屈不挠的决心也激励了他。他说：“这次旅行强化了我的民族精神。”。Cai Miao, a manager from travel agency Tuniu, said that some recently released movies have intensified people's desire for Red tourism this summer.途牛旅行社经理蔡淼表示，最近上映的一些电影加剧了人们对今年夏天红色旅游的渴望。Dead To Rights, for example, which is set during the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, tells the story of a group of Chinese civilians seeking refuge in a photo studio and risking their lives to expose atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese Army. The film was released on July 25, and from that day to Aug 3, travel bookings to Nanjing increased by 16 percent from the period of July 15 to July 24 on Tuniu.以1937年南京大屠杀为背景，告诉了一群中国平民在照相馆避难，冒着生命危险揭露日本帝国军队暴行的故事。这部电影于7月25日上映，从那天到8月3日，途牛的南京旅游预订量比7月15日到7月24日增长了16%。"Tour products to Nanjing, capital city of East China's Jiangsu province, have been some of our bestsellers this summer. Many of our customers said the most important stop of their trips to the city is to visit the Memorial Hall for the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, which memorializes those killed in the Nanjing Massacre by the Imperial Japanese Army," Cai Miao said.蔡淼说：“今年夏天，前往中国东部江苏省省会南京的旅游产品一直是我们最畅销的产品之一。我们的许多客户表示，他们此行最重要的一站是参观日本侵略者南京大屠杀遇难者纪念馆，该纪念馆纪念在日本帝国军队南京大屠杀中遇难的人。”。She added that young Chinese people were the majority taking Red tourism trips this summer, either with their families or during company team building events.她补充说，今年夏天，大多数中国年轻人都会和家人一起或在公司团队建设活动中参加红色旅游。"Places including Beijing, Nanjing in Jiangsu, Guangzhou in Guangdong and Changsha in Hunan province have been the most popular destinations for Red tourism trip goers this summer," she said.她说：“今年夏天，北京、江苏南京、广东广州和湖南长沙等地一直是红色旅游者最受欢迎的目的地。”。Qunar said that several Red tourism destinations have launched theatrical performances or outdoor shows based on stories of the CPC's development to attract tourists.去哪儿网表示，一些红色旅游目的地已经根据中国共产党的发展故事推出了戏剧表演或户外表演，以吸引游客。It said that ticket bookings to the theatrical performance — The Great Turning Point in Zunyi, Guizhou province, had increased threefold this summer. The performance centers on the Zunyi Meeting in 1935, a landmark event in the history of the CPC, as it largely determined the fate of the Party at a critical juncture for its survival.据报道，今年夏天，贵州遵义《大转折》的门票预订量增加了两倍。这场演出以1935年遵义会议为中心，这是中国共产党历史上的一个里程碑事件，因为它在很大程度上决定了党在生死关头的命运。Zhang Jinshan, a tourism planning and development researcher at Beijing Union University, said that Red tourism is a combination of Red culture — a culture related to the CPC and its revolutionary history, and travel.北京联合大学旅游规划与发展研究员张金山表示，红色旅游是红色文化——一种与中国共产党及其革命历史有关的文化——和旅游的结合。"The increasing popularity of Red tourism among Chinese people, especially the young adults and children, enables the nation's younger generations to learn the values and ideals of the CPC, and the hardships Chinese people experienced to establish the People's Republic of China," he said, adding that visiting Red tourism spots can also remind people of safeguarding the homeland and cherishing the hard-won peace.他说：“红色旅游在中国人民，特别是年轻人和儿童中的日益普及，使国家的年轻一代能够了解中国共产党的价值观和理想，以及中国人民为建立中华人民共和国所经历的艰辛。”他补充说，参观红色旅游景点也可以提醒人们保卫家园，珍惜来之不易的和平。atrocitiesn.（尤指战争中的）残暴行为

This week on the Hosting Hotline, we're answering Renee's question about buying a property that's already operating as a short-term rental—and what to do about the future bookings that come with it.If you've ever considered purchasing an “active STR,” you'll quickly find out there's a lot more to it than inheriting a calendar full of reservations. Sarah and Annette explain why listings follow the host (not the property), what that means for your ability to transfer bookings, and the negotiations you'll need to have with the seller before closing.You'll learn:Why STR listings and reviews don't automatically transfer with a property sale.How to negotiate booking transfers, co-hosting arrangements, or guest rebookings.The tax, payout, and guest experience factors you need to consider.How to involve OTAs (Airbnb, VRBO) in a booking transition.Why getting everything in writing is non-negotiable.If you're thinking about buying a short-term rental, this episode will help you navigate the booking handoff process and avoid the pitfalls that can derail a smooth transition.Mentioned in this episode:Make More Money This Year!

Are you leaving thousands of dollars in bookings on the table because your website has no opt-in? In this episode of Branded and Booked, I walk you through the exact funnel we set up for Cabins on the Cumberland that grew our email list to over 1,100 potential guests—people who have never stayed with us but are now primed to book. You'll learn: Why simply having a direct booking site isn't enough How to use pop-ups, giveaways, and promo codes to collect guest data The 5-email sequence we use to convert subscribers into paying guests How we've leveraged QR codes, ads, and social media to drive traffic The results we've already seen: $5,000 in bookings directly tied to this funnel Marketing doesn't have to be complicated. With the right opt-in strategy, you can build a list of warm leads that generates revenue for you month after month.

Virgo Season 2025 Cosmic Energy Report Astrology and Tarot from two grounded Earth signs! We're here to show you the energies so you can embrace them in your own way. Show Summary: Welcome back to Spirit Crumbs! This Virgo Season energy report brings us into the threshold between summer's fullness and autumn's refinement. After Leo's fiery blaze, Virgo steps in with grounded clarity, reminding us that not everything can (or should) be carried forward. Emily and Andrea explore why this particular Virgo Season feels like alchemy in motion. With a Pisces eclipse stirring the collective waters, Mercury cazimi bringing mental clarity, and September's skies bubbling with planetary tension, the season asks us to release perfectionism, honor joy as a survival skill, and trust the soufflé to rise in divine timing. There is some Major Arcana energy with these eclipses, so prepare for something to change in a flash! This conversation is both a harvest and an initiation: a love letter to synchronicity, creative devotion, and the sacred art of becoming. Whether you feel like a butterfly still shaking off its wings or a seeker standing at a crossroads, you'll find guidance here to help you navigate Virgo's wisdom and step with courage into what's next.   ✨ In This Episode: The butterfly and Fool archetypes as guides through transition Virgo South Node lessons: why workaholism won't save us How synchronicities show up when we create space for joy Passion as a frequency higher than love—and how to follow it The Six of Cups and King of Wands as tarot teachers this season The Pisces eclipse (Sep 7) and the gift of emotional release Death card week: shedding karmic cycles and choosing rebirth Judgment and the Equinox: awakening loyal hearts and higher alignment September as alchemy: trusting the soufflé to rise in its own time ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review Spirit Crumbs to help others discover the magic. ✨ Share this episode with friends who could use a little cosmic clarity.     Show Notes 00:00 Welcome Back! 00:44 Reflecting on Leo Season 03:18 Transitioning into Virgo Season 05:29 Embracing Change and Creativity 08:29 Astrological Insights and Personal Growth 18:28 Tarot Reading for Virgo Season 18:53 Oracle Card Insights 22:08 Weekly Tarot Predictions 46:39 Understanding the Eclipse and Jupiter's Influence 48:00 Emotional Release and Rest During the Eclipse 48:11 Sun and Mercury Alignments Post-Eclipse 49:43 Death and Rebirth: Embracing Change 55:50 Navigating the Crossroads and Compromise 01:01:14 Judgment and Awakening: A New Beginning 01:07:51 Astrological Insights and Future Predictions 01:19:01 Personal Growth and Creative Projects     Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Remote Recharges: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/remote-recharges Direct to Bookings: https://spiritschool.as.me/andrea Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/concreteandcrystals  Connect with Emily Join the Cards + Cosmos Club: https://www.emilyandherstars.com/shop/p/2025cardscosmos Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60f5b4f9a00fcd52c9f65d4b Direct Bookings and Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Instagram & Threads: https://www.instagram.com/emilyandherstars

On Saturday I played with my Balearic London crew in Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy's incredible Love Dancin' tent at We Out Here—a dream come true. That recording will come to SoundCloud eventually, but in the meantime, this is a mix I put together—on a cassette tape—for Colleen years ago to show my love for the incredible space she's built at the festival, inspired by one of her peak-time sets in there.

In this episode of STR Like the Best, I sit down with Alex Alioto, Co-Founder and Head of Growth at Whimstay, an OTA built specifically to fill your last-minute and gap-night inventory.We break down why relying solely on Airbnb is like owning a stock portfolio with just one stock, how to think strategically about OTA distribution, and why last-minute travelers aren't just bargain hunters—they're a fast-growing segment that can boost your weekday occupancy.Alex shares practical tips on integrating with Whimstay, avoiding the “race to the bottom” on pricing, and meeting the needs of the next-gen traveler (21–35 year olds booking 8–10 trips a year). We also talk about the importance of focusing on what is working in your business, and the role gratitude and key relationships play in the journey.Whether you're looking to maximize revenue, diversify your booking channels, or simply reframe your mindset as an operator, this episode delivers both tactical strategies and a reminder to enjoy the people you meet along the way.LEARN MY STR INVESTING & STRATEGIES
