Many people know RevenYou for revenue management and distribution.

But that's only part of our story. Over the years, we've had the privilege of supporting accommodation operators across a wide range of business functions, including:

✔ Revenue management and distribution
✔ Sales strategy and prospecting
✔ Marketing and website development
✔ Mentoring and staff development
✔ Extended leave and relief coverage
✔ Business planning and operational support
✔ Technology reviews and implementation

No two accommodation businesses are the same, and neither are the challenges they face.

Whether we're helping an owner identify new opportunities, providing support during a busy period, mentoring an emerging leader or guiding a business through change, our focus remains the same: delivering practical solutions that create meaningful outcomes.

👉 Whether you're looking for support with revenue, sales, marketing, mentoring or simply need an extra set of experienced hands, we're always happy to have a conversation about how we can help.

Reflecting on last week's NoVacancy presentation by Tamie Matthews, and the many conversations we've shared through our Owner's Spotlight series, one message continues to stand out:

Don't go it alone.

Many successful accommodation owners attribute part of their success to surrounding themselves with people who knew more than they did in certain areas and being willing to learn from them.

One piece of advice that really resonated with us was: "Don't sit at the table where you're the expert. Sit at the table where you'll learn."

Whether it's mentors, industry colleagues, trusted advisors or your own team, having the right people around you can make all the difference.

Sometimes, the best step forward is simply asking for advice from someone who's already walked the path before you.

Our weekly Question of the Week has become a bit of a virtual water cooler moment at RevenYou, helping the team stay connected, share a laugh and learn a little more about each other.

This week's question from Sharlene was:

If your current workspace or home office were a hotel room, what star rating would it have? And what would be its #1 amenity?

Some of our favourite responses were:

⭐ "A 4-star motorhome office with exceptional mountain and coastal views. The #1 amenity? Being able to step outside and breathe in fresh mountain air or a salty sea breeze."

⭐ "Sara's home workspace used to be a 5-star property, but the new one has dropped to a 3-star while she's working from the kitchen area waiting for new work-from-home equipment to arrive."

⭐ "A lot of HR complaints here... my desk is near our dining/play area, so I'm surrounded by mess, constant noise and interruptions. The #1 amenity? Noise-cancelling earbuds."

⭐ "A 4-star guest-bedroom office featuring an ensuite, almost floor-to-ceiling windows, beautiful natural light and a sleeping sausage dog in the corner, ensuring guests feel right at home."

⭐ "A 3-star setup with plans for a 5-star upgrade next year. A cosy guest bedroom converted into a full-time office, recently improved with a brand-new air conditioner and new artwork. Every great property starts with a refurbishment plan!"

Now, over to you...

If your workspace was a hotel room, what star rating would it receive and what would be its standout amenity?

It's time for another Five Minutes With...

This month, we're catching up with Aakriti from our Sales team, who has recently returned from maternity leave after welcoming her second daughter to the family.

We're thrilled to have Aakriti back with the team and look forward to sharing a little more about the person behind the role.

💡 What’s your mid-afternoon pick-me-up: sweet, salty or caffeine? Sweet - Anytime of the day!

💡 What’s your favourite guilty-pleasure travel habit – hotel slippers, mini-bar chocolate, selecting from the pillow menu, other? Hotel slippers. Even better when they are already in the room

💡 Your go-to song, even if you are only caught singing it in the car? "Rolling in the deep" by Adele

💡 What’s one thing you cannot begin the workday without? A clean desk and multiple pens! I already feel like things are falling into correct place when my desk is neat and tidy.

💡 What’s your RevenYou superpower? I would say my superpower is listening and making connections. I like to understand what people need, find common ground and build genuine connections. This helps me identify opportunities and find the right solutions for both the client and the business.

From favourite travel memories to the experiences that have shaped her journey so far, it's always wonderful getting to know the people who make RevenYou what it is.

What could your best guests teach you about your business?

We've recently introduced a new feature to the RevenYou newsletter called Tip of the Month - practical ideas that accommodation operators can put into action straight away.

This month's tip was simple:

📞 Call your top 10 repeat guests and ask why they keep coming back.

What is it about your property, team or guest experience that encourages them to return time and again?

Then take a fresh look at your website. Does it tell future guests the same story?

Sometimes the most valuable insights don't come from reports or analytics - they come directly from the guests who already choose to stay with you.

If you'd like more practical tips, industry insights, owner stories and real-world accommodation learnings delivered straight to your inbox, subscribe to the RevenYou bi-monthly newsletter.

Are your guests booking direct the next time they stay?

In this article, we share practical ideas to encourage direct bookings, including value-added inclusions, personalised experiences, loyalty initiatives and creative offers.

It's time for another Five Minutes With...

This month, we're catching up with Trish from our Revenue Management team and learning a little more about the person behind the spreadsheets, forecasts and strategy.

From favourite travel habit to her RevenYou superpower, it's always interesting to discover what makes each member of our team unique.

💡 What’s your mid-afternoon pick-me-up: sweet, salty or caffeine? Definitely sweet.

💡 What’s your favourite guilty-pleasure travel habit? Watching a movie in bed with a glass of w**e in one hand and chocolate in the other.

💡 Your go-to song, even if you are only caught singing it in the car? "Wonderwall." Or as it's known in our house, Whale on the Street, thanks to my little people who turned "Backbeat, word is on the street" into "Backbeat, whale on the street."

💡 What’s one thing you cannot begin the workday without? A few minutes of peace before the day shifts into top gear.

💡 What’s your RevenYou superpower? I'm part revenue manager, part marketer, part salesperson, part fortune teller. My brain never stays in one lane. I'm constantly looking at how revenue, sales and marketing work together because that's where the magic happens.

When was the last time you reviewed your website?

Your website should evolve alongside your business, not sit unchanged for years.

Whether it's updating guest information, refreshing photography, reviewing special offers, adding destination content, updating FAQs or improving how guests find you online, regular updates can make a meaningful difference to the guest experience and booking journey.

It's something we've been focusing on at RevenYou too.

Over recent months we've added new blogs, case studies, practical resources and our new Owner's Spotlight series, sharing real stories and insights from accommodation operators across the industry.

👉 If it's been a while since you last visited the RevenYou website, now might be the perfect time to take another look.
