VR Marketing Gold

I’m a Build Up Bookings client and I listen to this podcast weekly. It’s really helpful to get a regular look behind the curtain to see how these guys are thinking about marketing vacation rentals. Because they work with so many different clients, they have a unique view on what works and what doesn’t. Each episode is packed with insights which any VR pro will find useful.
