\"Calendar<\/figure>

Right now, nearly half of FishingBooker’s customers are looking for a trip that’s less than a week away. A third of them want to go fishing within the next 3 days. <\/p>

The majority of these people are looking for trips with instant confirmation. But if your Instant Book notice period is set at more than 3 days, they may not know that you offer this service. <\/p>

With no ranking boost or “Instant Confirmation” badge on your listing for that period, short notice customers end up looking elsewhere. Meanwhile, your boat stays at the dock.<\/p>

Increase Your Exposure<\/strong><\/h2>

Adjust your advance notice period, and your listing will be seen by thousands more people every month. With 70% of customers choosing Instant Book and 43% of them looking to fish at short notice, this can mean a serious increase in trips for you!<\/p>

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>

    \n
  1. Go to manage your listing<\/strong><\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the Availability settings<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Make sure Instant Book is enabled<\/strong> and select a notice period you’re comfortable with. We recommend 1–2 days before the trip<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
    Steps for adjusting notice period. Click \"go to listing\" from the manage charters page. Click \"availability\". Choose advance notice period.<\/figure>

    Once your notice period is set up, all you need to do is keep your calendar updated. Then, the next time you have a last minute opening, thousands more customers will see your listing.<\/p>

    We think this will make a big difference to the number of bookings you get this high season. But if you change your mind, you can always change your settings back. It’s completely up to you!<\/p>

    Why not give it a try? Adjust your notice settings today.<\/a> <\/strong>Let us know how it goes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
