This next update for Caza de Casa is going to be HUGE
Some of our hosts who joined our waitlist only speak Spanish and so couldn't advertise their properties
NOT ANYMORE

The reply strategy was something I had seen multiple times on social media.
I thought I'd try and see if it'd work for the free tool I created to help Airbnb hosts.
The result?
Unlike my usual posts I was still getting engagement weeks later.

FINALLY a proper social analytics platform is here.
No more having a separate tab open to check the performance of each individual account.
One place. All the KPIs.
Got my fingers crossed Bluesky will be the next supported platform.

A month ago I posted that I hoped to deliver at least 1 or maybe 2 partnership deals before the end of the year
First new partnership should be live next week
Can you guess what company it is?

Much better UX. No more overflow.
Decided to have a max of 6 features displayed in both Must-Have Features and Nice-To-Have Features to prevent overflow.
I debated whether it'd be better to show the most recently selected features but felt the total number is enough.

"How many photos do you have in your listing?"
"16"
"I'm only seeing 5"
The photos is the key factor to advertise a property and our app was having an issue consistently uploading all the photos.
The issue?
Using optimistic updates to make hosts think the photos were uploaded.

I've been working hard behind the scenes to establish even more partnerships for Caza de Casa
We want to partner with the best service providers, companies which we trust and know deliver a great service
We should have at least one more (maybe two) before the end of the year 🤞

It was a lot of fun speaking with both hosts about Caza de Casa
Hopefully being on these 2 podcasts will help spread the message about what we are doing at Caza de Casa and how we are an alternative to Airbnb

The target has been set 🎯
10 new properties a week on Caza de Casa 🏡
With 15 weeks remaining in the year that means we should have 150 more properties before 2026 taking us to 285 in total 📈
