Hosts — this is a big moment for Trade Stays, and a big opportunity for you!
Trade Stays was built out of the ashes of Covid, from a simple idea: there had to be a better, more stable way to generate booking demand year-round without relying on the constant peaks and troughs of tourism.
So we built a business focused on work-travel stays.
The result? Rapid growth. In our first year, booking revenue grew by 240%. By year three, we were still growing fast, with over 160% growth. That growth has given us the confidence to think much bigger.
Now we are investing heavily in the next stage: the Trade Stays automated booking platform.
We are building this platform to help us scale towards our target of £10m in bookings — and that should be exciting for hosts, because those bookings need places to go. The hosts on the platform will be the ones in position to benefit from that growth.
But we need your help.
We are going to be adding hosts across the platform, and we need strong coverage in every city. If our customers arrive and there is nothing for them to find, we all lose out. That is why we want great hosts on board early, helping us build the network properly from day one.
And for those who move early and upload their properties quickly, there will be rewards. We will be offering bonuses designed to drive more bookings your way, with full details to be revealed closer to launch.
This is your chance to get in early on something built for growth, built for hosts, and built to create more consistent booking demand.
Pre-register now to be first in line when the platform goes live this summer — and tell other hosts you know too. The stronger the network we build now, the bigger the opportunity for everyone.
