Host Follow System: Followers & Special Offers
Guests follow your homepage. You notify them from seasonal pricing in admin. Each follower gets an email with dates and an all-in nightly rate in their own currency.
What the follow system is
Followers opt in on your listing. When you save a seasonal range and tap Notify followers, they receive a special-offer email — not a public blast to everyone on TrueBookings.
Guest follows
Logged-in guests follow your homepage once.
You set seasonal pricing
Save a date range and nightly rate in the Pricing tab.
Followers get notified
Each person gets dates and an all-in price in their currency.
Where guests follow you
The Follow button is on your public listing. It is hidden when you view your own homepage as the host. Guests need a TrueBookings account so the email goes to the right address.
The special offer email followers receive
The email is branded to your listing. It shows the date range and an all-in nightly rate in the follower's currency, including VAT and guest service fee the same way as your booking page.
Where hosts use it: Pricing tab
Save a seasonal range, then Notify followers. Each range can be notified only once. After you send, the button shows Notified. Create a new range to promote different dates.
How to get more followers
Ask happy guests after checkout, mention follow on your listing, and share your homepage. Repeat visitors are the people most likely to book a special offer.
Best ways to use special offers
Use shoulder season, last-minute gaps, or a new discount you actually want to honor. Do not notify a range until the rate is the one you will keep.
Pro tip
You can notify different saved ranges on the same day. You cannot notify the same range twice.
What followers do not receive
They do not get emails for every calendar change. Only explicit Notify followers sends. Past dates cannot be notified.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need an account to follow a host?
Yes. Following requires a logged-in TrueBookings account so notifications can be sent to the correct email address and so each person only follows once.
Can I notify followers for the same dates twice?
No. Each saved date range can only be notified once. After you send, the button shows Notified for that range. Create a new saved range if you want to promote different dates.
Can I notify multiple ranges in one day?
Yes. You can notify followers for different saved date ranges whenever you are ready, as long as each range has not already been notified and the dates have not passed.
Do all followers see the same price in the email?
No. You set one seasonal rate in your property currency, but each follower sees an all-in nightly price in their own currency based on their profile country. VAT, service fee, and fee VAT are included the same way as on your booking page.
Where do I set the offer rate shown in the email?
The starting point is the nightly rate on the seasonal range you save in the Pricing tab before clicking Notify followers. TrueBookings then converts and calculates the final figure each follower sees in their currency, with taxes and fees included.
Why is there no Follow button when I view my own homepage?
You cannot follow yourself. The button is hidden when you are logged in as the host viewing your own listing page.
