Fast Response Times

Why quick responses lead to more bookings and how to achieve them.

1Why Speed Matters

Renters often message multiple owners. The first to respond typically gets the booking. Fast responses also signal reliability and professionalism.

Tips
  • Enable mobile notifications
  • Set up quick reply templates
  • Aim to respond within 1 hour during business hours

2Getting Notified

Enable push notifications on your phone. Set up email alerts. Check the app regularly during peak rental times (evenings and weekends).

3Quick Reply Templates

Prepare templates for common questions: availability confirmation, pickup instructions, and item details. Personalize templates before sending for a genuine touch.

4When You Can't Respond Quickly

If you'll be unavailable, pause your listings temporarily or set an away message. It's better to be honest about availability than to leave messages unanswered.
