Tools

The do-it-yourself version of what I do.

Every idea I write about takes time to put into practice. These tools do the busywork, so you can use the ideas without hiring an agency. Each one solves one problem and is built for independently run hotels, resorts and venues.

Returning guests

Guest Comeback Kit

Bring past guests back for another stay.

Ready-to-send emails for your past guests, a check-in script to collect email addresses at the front desk, and a list of perks that make returning guests book directly. Made for independent hotels and resorts.

RateRoby

Ask every happy guest for a review, automatically.
