Design, as we explored, isn't just about aesthetics; it's crucial for marketing, creating memorable guest experiences, and ensuring your property stands out in a sea of options. Erin and Heather shared insights on making properties Instagrammable, leveraging social media for direct bookings, and the significance of targeting your design to appeal to your ideal guest avatar. They emphasized the power of experiential design, suggesting features like selfie walls and thematic decor that resonate with your target audience and encourage social sharing. The conversation also delved into the strategic use of platforms like TikTok for market research and promotion, highlighting the platform's effectiveness in reaching potential guests quickly.
