Today we're talking to Mark Simpson from Boostly again about how to use email marketing to drive bookings. Mark first tells us about why email isn't dead, why it's a more powerful platform than algorithm-controlled social media like Facebook and Instagram, and why it's an important marketing strategy for your vacation rental.
