NOTE

Building a Brand and Maximizing Bookings through Social Media

A pivotal moment in brand development infused the business with innovative growth strategies, leading to the acquisition of approximately 100,000 social media followers and generating $700,000 to $800,000 in direct bookings from a $50,000 investment in giveaways. Direct bookings accounted for 80% of occupancy, resulting in a staggering 94-95% occupancy rate across seven cabins year-round. Revenue surpassed one million dollars, yielding a significant NOI of around $550,000. The property was refinanced after six months, doubling its initial appraisal and allowing for cash recovery and additional financial gains. Transitioning focus to content creation on Instagram, the channel proved vital for building brand identity in an overcrowded market where unique stays are increasingly sought. The emphasis on narrative and visual storytelling resonated with guests, leading to repeat stays and community engagement, establishing a loyal following and reinforcing the notion that social media can elevate a brand beyond mere transactions.
