Episode notes
Facebook Is Free Local Marketing
- Local Facebook groups and Marketplace provided most early traction through organic visual posts.
- Visual appeal plus community groups created free, high-converting marketing channels.
Price To Hit Income Goals
- Price based on what customers will pay and your revenue goals rather than perfect market research.
- Aim for occupancy that covers your target monthly income and scale from there.
Use A Small Deposit To Secure Bookings
- Require a small deposit (Steve uses $50) to lock bookings and reduce cancellations.
- Collect the balance at delivery to simplify operations and avoid no-shows.
