In this episode, Kevin´s guest is Jackie (Jacs) Hodson, an interior design expert who also runs several SA properties. She is also the creative director of Free-Range Stays. Jacs explains how to present your properties so that they stand out online. As well as how to make guests go Wow! When they walk in the door. 

All of which results in far more and longer bookings. Her Power of Three approach is practical and easy for any SA property owner to implement. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
