Ping

Hey all! My wife and I are the founders of Sponstayneous — a twice-a-week newsletter that brings subscribers the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on premium Airbnbs. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of the beta of our first product for short-term rental hosts and avid travelers — we call it Ping. Ping makes it easy for guests to be notified when their favorite Airbnbs become available — and it's the secret tool the best Airbnb hosts use to maximize bookings. Ping is a simple widget that lives on a short-term rental host's website (or direct booking site). Ping allows your fans and followers to sign up to be notified if their preferred dates become available. When there's a match between a guest's preferred dates and a stay's availability, both the host and the guest will automatically be pinged! While our beta is focused on building Ping for Hosts, we will soon be rolling out a marketplace on Sponstayneous for travelers. This marketplace will enable them to follow and save their favorite stays directly on our website — and be notified of last-minute deals and cancellations for each stay they follow! Looking forward to everyone's thoughts! Sincerely, Zach, Gabby, and Matt (the dude who actually BUILT Ping!)

Sponstayneous is a smart idea and relevant for @suzywillow and me as we're spending more time working remotely in various locations. Just subscribed.

Congrats on the launch Zach!

This is such a fantastic idea! There has been many times people want to book our Airbnb but the dates are already booked, only to come available later on if someone needs to cancel. Ping will make it super simple for guests to be notified, which will be a win-win. Love this and can't wait to to use it! 🙌

"How on earth are we going to fill in this random Tuesday - Wednesday gap in February?" "Looks like we are losing revenue on these awkward one-night gaps again" "How do I let people know that we have these specific dates available?" Zach, looks like you found a very specific pain point and are solving it with Ping. I'm excited to see how you will transform the Airbnb market!

Fantastic idea, awesome product. 🔥

Neat product — Congrats on the launch, ?makers (and bookmarked)!
