With the STRz summer webinar series now wrapped up, we’ll be sharing a series of recap posts over the coming weeks—highlighting the key insights from each session in case you missed them.
🔁STRz H1 Webinar Recap | Part 1 – Driving Revenue Through Strategic Partnerships
Topic: How to drive revenue with the right partners and product integrations
Host: Paul Stevens
Sponsored by: PriceLabs
With so many products spanning the global short-term rental ecosystem—from PMS tools to AI services and luxury ops—this session unpacked how to identify the best partners and integrations to actually drive revenue, innovate, and grow.
🔑 Key Takeaways
• Partnerships start with purpose: Whether you’re scaling distribution or building a bespoke tech stack, alignment on values, goals, and vision is non-negotiable.
• Product ≠ fit: Especially in the luxury space, off-the-shelf solutions often fall short—leading operators to build in-house.
• Due diligence matters: From cultural alignment to financial viability, vetting your partners is as critical as any guest-facing service.
• AI and integration fatigue is real: Tech adoption should be intentional—not just reactive. Businesses need a clear use case and implementation champion.
• Brand = growth flywheel: Experiences, storytelling, and influencer marketing are proving powerful in driving direct bookings and long-term value.
