We're not generalist marketers who discovered the short-term rental space. We built our expertise hands-on, inside real premium properties, managing everything from the ground up.
OUR STORY
Built from the inside.
Not the outside.
RentalsHive didn't start as a marketing agency that decided to target the property space. It started with years of working inside real premium property — managing every aspect of its digital presence, operations, and growth from scratch.
Over time, we managed everything: PMS selection and setup, channel strategy, listing optimisation, dynamic pricing, direct booking website builds, brand identity, paid advertising, SEO, video content, wedding brochures, guest communication automation, and the overall digital infrastructure.
We saw what worked and what didn't. We made mistakes and fixed them. We learned that the difference between a property that performs and one that doesn't isn't the property itself — it's the digital infrastructure and strategy around it.
​
Over the years, we’ve empowered premium owners of wedding venues and holiday lets by minimizing their reliance on a single channel and expanding their reach across multiple platforms. Our tailored strategies have helped these generate hundreds of leads each month and achieve consistent year-on-year growth. The conclusion was clear: bespoke properties deserved bespoke strategies in marketing.
WHAT WE KNOW
End-to-end expertise
across every discipline.
Most agencies specialise in one or two areas. We've had to be competent across all of them — because a real property demands it. That breadth is what makes the difference for our clients.
PMS Setup & Integration
Hands-on configuration of Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, and Cloudbeds — including 2-way sync, channel connections, financial reporting, and automation rules.
Website Development
Building and rebuilding property websites from scratch — including bespoke wedding and events sections, direct booking integration, and conversion-focused design.
Brand Identity
Creating visual identities for premium properties — logo, colour palette, typography, and the visual language that positions a property correctly in its market.
Channel Management
Deep experience with Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, and direct channels. Not just listing creation — proper, ongoing optimisation for visibility and conversion.
Paid Advertising
Managing Google Ads and Meta campaigns for both direct STR bookings and wedding venue lead generation — from account setup through to ongoing optimisation and reporting.
Content Production
Video editing, brochure design, digital lookbooks, and photography direction — the content that turns a property from a listing into a brand.
Dynamic Pricing
Building and managing demand-based pricing strategies that respond to seasonality, local events, booking pace, and competitor rates — to maximise revenue per available night.
SEO
On-page optimisation, keyword strategy, local SEO, and Google Business Profile management — building organic visibility that compounds over time.
Guest Automation
Building personalised messaging flows for every stage of the guest journey — from enquiry through post-stay — saving hours of manual work without losing the human touch.
PLATFORMS & TOOLS
Hands-on with the
tools that matter.
Knowing which platforms and channels to use is half the job.
The right setup looks different for every property. We identify the right combination for your specific situation and implement it properly — across every property we work with.

HOW WE WORK
Four things we believe
every property deserves.
Honesty before sales
If we don't think we're the right fit for your property, we'll tell you. We'd rather have fewer clients we can genuinely help than more clients we can't.
Bespoke, not templated
We don't have a single strategy we apply to every property. Every engagement starts with understanding your specific property, market, and goals — and building from there.
Outcomes, not deliverables
We don't measure success by tasks completed. We measure it by occupancy rates, revenue growth, direct booking share, and lead volume. If the numbers aren't moving, we haven't done our job.
Your success is our success
Our business grows when our clients' properties grow. That alignment isn't a marketing line — it's why we offer performance bonuses on wedding retainers and why we report transparently every month.
WHY RENTALSHIVE
What makes us
different.
We've done the work ourselves
We didn't learn this from a course or a blog. We managed real premium properties — every system, every channel, every campaign — and improved it from the ground up.
We work across the full stack
From PMS setup to paid ads to brand design — we don't outsource to generalists. Every part of the engagement is handled by someone who understands the property context.
We understand
premiuim properties
STRs and wedding venues have different growth mechanics. We understand both — and crucially, how they interact when they share the same calendar and brand.
We move quickly
We have seen meaningful results within 3 months. We don't believe in 6-month "setup phases" before results start appearing. We build and launch in weeks, not quarters.
