“It all started with another commission check he hated writing.”

Dave managed multiple rentals through a patchwork of PMS, OTAs, and manual tools. Every booking through an OTA meant higher commissions and zero guest loyalty. Worse, he knew the future was moving fast toward AI-powered bookings—and his properties weren’t ready.

“I didn’t invest in short-term rentals to spend all day troubleshooting software,” Dave says. “I needed something to make my life easier—not harder.”

While digging into success stories one evening, he stumbled across an article where the Market Movers co‑founder explained how a rural resort had doubled its occupancy using smarter tech and influencer partnerships. The results stopped him in his tracks.

“I discovered a system built for the AI-native world.

The first thing that struck Dave was Instead of another booking widget or ad campaign, Dave found Market Movers’ unified platform: one source of truth across rooms, amenities, dining, and experiences. This eliminated silos, prepared his data for the coming wave of AI agents, and—within 90 days—delivered 10% more direct bookings with fewer OTA commissions.

Dave also appreciated the integrated guest communication automation: pre‑arrival instructions, in‑stay check‑ins, thank‑you messages, and review prompts—all on autopilot to help he and his team maintain that coveted 5‑star feedback. 

 

 

Those automated guest messages saved me hours,” Dave notes. “And the reviews started rolling in because guests felt connected.

“They didn’t just promise, they could prove it.”

Dave Found New Hope in a Compelling Case Study

Dave saw the ReTreet Resort case study: by consolidating their fragmented systems into a unified layer, they became visible to AI agents, reduced OTA commissions by 40%, and filled their calendar well into the next season. Seeing real-world results gave him confidence this wasn’t hype—it was the future of bookings.

Breaking Free from OTA Dependency Became Real

With Market Movers, Dave no longer feared being invisible outside the OTAs. Direct funnels, loyalty integration, and AI-native data connectivity meant guests could book directly—whether through his website today or through AI agents tomorrow.

I booked the free call—no strings attached.

On his first call, Dave learned how Market Movers:

  • Connect his PMS, CRS, and POS into one unified data layer.

  • Make his property discoverable to both guests and AI agents.

  • Show real-time ROI through occupancy, direct bookings, and reduced commissions.

“I booked the free call—no strings attached.”

Finally, Market Movers made it incredibly easy to take the next step: a free 15‑minute consultation. There were no hidden fees or aggressive sales tactics, just a frank conversation about Dave’s specific challenges and goals.

During the call, he learned:

  • Timeline & Integration: How their tech plugs into his existing PMS, channel manager, and accounting systems with minimal disruption.

  • Pricing & ROI: Clear pricing and performance metrics, with dashboards showing occupancy, revenue per stay, influencer‑driven bookings, and return on investment.

  • Custom Strategy: Dave upgraded to receive a custom audit revealing an individualized plan that accounts for his location, seasonality, and expansion goals.

“They let me ask all the hard questions—regulation hurdles, sustainability, data privacy—and had answers ready. That transparency sealed the deal.”

“I love that they spoke my language.”

When Dave started digging into Market Movers’ methodology. Here, he discovered a refreshing lack of jargon. No buzzwords, no confusing tech talk—just plain English and real businesses discussions.

Dave heard phrases like “stop paying for middlemen,” “prepare your property for AI agents,” and “tell your property’s story directly to guests.” It was exactly what he had been thinking, but couldn’t articulate.

 

Testimonials

“It worked—for real.”

Today, Dave’s properties are ready for the next era of bookings. He slashed OTA commissions by 40%, filled his calendar through direct + repeat guests, and future-proofed his distribution strategy for AI-native travel. Most importantly, Dave is back to what he loves—hosting—while Market Movers handles the data, tech, and distribution strategy.

“Before Market Movers, I was juggling three calendars and losing sleep over double bookings. Their direct-booking funnels and dynamic pricing not only slashed my OTA fees by 40%, they filled my calendar well into next season. Plus, the influencer partnerships we set up felt authentic—and delivered a three-month waitlist! If you’re tired of chasing platforms, talk to these folks.”

“I was skeptical about outsourcing my marketing, but the team at Market Movers made it effortless. Their all-in-one dashboard replaced four separate tools, and their influencer strategy brought us real, qualified guests—not just likes. In six weeks, our direct bookings jumped 15%, and I finally stopped waking up to frantic ‘We can’t find our reservation’ emails. Highly recommended!”
