Prepare to elevate your holiday rental earnings—Beyond has just made a significant advancement! We’re excited to announce our latest update: real-time data from Booking.com is now integrated into our Market Insights and Comp Sets. That’s right, you’re not just receiving insights from Airbnb and Vrbo—Booking.com data is now included, offering you the most comprehensive view of your market. Moreover, with connected data alongside this Online Travel Agency (OTA) data, you're equipped with the most effective tools to enhance your market presence.
Why This Matters: Stay Ahead in a Competitive Market
In the fast-paced world of short-term lets, having comprehensive, up-to-the-minute data is crucial. Beyond’s enhanced Market Insights provide you with access to essential market dynamics, enabling you to track investment potential, measure ROI, and optimise growth strategies. With Booking.com data now integrated, you can monitor key performance indicators like Revenue per Available Night (RevPAN), Booking Lead Time, Amenities, and Average Length of Stay, giving you a true understanding of your market landscape.
In August 2024, Propeller Insights conducted a survey revealing that 71.8% of travellers compare prices for the same accommodation across different booking platforms, and 57.1% actively seek deals and avoid high-priced periods. Additionally, 43.1% of travellers book well in advance to secure the best price, and 21.4% use other strategies to find the best deals. This highlights the necessity of tools like Comp Sets, which keep you informed about similar-sized listings in your area. Furthermore, 80.1% of respondents indicated they would pay more for certain amenities. Utilising Market Insights can help you identify and refine offerings that are most valued in your neighbourhood. With this kind of behaviour shaping the market, having access to real-time data from Beyond gives you the edge to stay on top and keep your listings appealing.
Our Comp Sets feature, now enhanced with data from the top three OTAs, offers a comprehensive view of the competition. You can customise competitive sets to benchmark your properties against those listed on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, ensuring your pricing strategies are always precise. Whether you’re monitoring your properties' performance in new or existing markets, Beyond’s data provides the assurance needed to make informed decisions, keeping your listings at the cutting edge of your market.
Good Decisions Need Good Data
While other platforms might offer dynamic pricing tools, Beyond goes further—it's a complete Revenue Management System. We don’t just supply pieces of data; we deliver a fully integrated solution that covers all aspects of revenue management. With Beyond’s Market Insights and Comp Sets, you're not merely reacting to market changes—you’re anticipating them, enabling you to craft strategies that optimise your revenue comprehensively.
What distinguishes Beyond is our commitment to clean, accurate, and comprehensive data—a vital element for making informed, strategic decisions. Clean data isn't merely about having a wealth of information; it’s about having the right information—data that is accurate, current, and free from errors or inconsistencies.
Here’s how Beyond ensures you receive the best data:
