This and it being Friday!

Thank you for the birthday love yesterday, and for the warm welcome back to this space. Taking space from social media this summer was such a privilege. As we gear up for fall (and Cozy Season goodness), we are so eager to meet the short-term rental owners who will be working with us to turn their stays into ones their guests search for by name.

Have a beautiful weekend, all! by @libraryofstays

Happy September!!! Yes, even on the 21st, we’re still excited about the beginning of the “Ber” months. This month’s color combos are inspired by the month that pulls you to the oven for autumn baking and the way the greens of summer turn a bit warmer.

No matter where your rental is, autumn is likely a HUGE season for you. I hope these combos give you some inspiration for your socials or decor … it’s all about bold, warm colors that make people feel the joy of the season.

What’s your favorite combo? The Cherry & Olive is really doing something for us! by @libraryofstays

It’s Ravyn’s birthday, so I have to tell you how we got here.

Back in 2011 I needed a graphic designer for my wedding photography business and found her on Pinterest. I sent an inquiry through her website, ended up reading her blog, and realized she had just moved to Portland from Indianapolis a couple months earlier.

We met up and that was it.

Fifteen years of girls trips, beach trips, babies, husbands, dogs, cats (and sometimes even rats), lots of baby carriers, moves across the country and back, good haircuts, bad haircuts, lots of hats and denim tops, new businesses, career changes, the highest highs and low points and everything in between.

As many of you know by now, Ravyn is wildly talented. She’s an incredible potter and the best graphic designer I’ve ever seen. Her brain just works better than mine and I’m still constantly amazed by what she comes up with.

Getting to work with her this past year, see that creativity up close, and build Library of Stays from the ground up together has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Happy birthday to my best friend and business partner. Love you, Ravyn.

Helloooo! We took the end of Summer off from posting, but not from working behind the scenes on Library of Stays.

We’ve been sketching out what we’re building next for hosts who are done blending in: more strategy, more of the deliberate things that will get your listing remembered.

Stay close: our next chapter is starting soon. by @libraryofstays

If the popular online booking platform your listing is on disappeared tomorrow, would anyone know how to find you?

It’s time to get really honest with yourself.

Can your guests name your stay or find it without a link?

So many hosts have never thought about this question, because their OTA platform has answered it for them. The algorithm does the “remembering”, and that works … until it doesn’t. Until the off-season hits, or the market shifts, or potential guests continue scrolling right by your listing.

The listings that don’t disappear into the scroll aren’t the ones with the most expensive renovations or constant price updates. They’re the ones your guests can actually remember BECAUSE OF the name, the feeling, and the amenities and reasons to choose it again.

This is your branding problem (or lack thereof). It’s the whole reason we exist.

Comment SHELF and we’ll show you what this looks like for your property. This is where your new chapter starts! by @libraryofstays

Comment GUIDE and our Kitchen Experience Guide is yours, for free!

After stumbling on a Threads post, we realized guests will forgive almost anything except a coffee pot that takes a degree and 3 hours to figure out.

We took notes. And guess what?! The kitchen is the part of your rental that can really make or break a stay.

The thing is, we didn’t need 2,000+ comments to tell us this … it’s why we created the guide in the first place. Get it and make sure your guests have the stay they deserve!! by @libraryofstays
