We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Knokx.
Knokx builds high-converting direct-booking websites and lead-gen systems that plug into your PMS and marketing stack. Paired with StayFi’s guest WiFi capture and email/SMS automation, you get a powerful, end-to-end growth engine for winning more commission-free bookings.
Why this matters now
OTA fees and shifting algorithms are squeezing margins and control. Knokx + StayFi help you bypass platform markups, build a brand guests remember, and own your demand—from first click to rebooking.
What is Knokx?
Knokx delivers direct-booking websites and marketing infrastructure designed specifically for vacation rentals:
-
Conversion-focused websites: Fast, mobile-friendly, built to rank and built to book.
-
PMS integrations: Sync rates, calendars, photos, amenities, and reviews from leading PMSs (e.g., Hostaway, Guesty, Hostfully, Hospitable, Lodgify, OwnerRez, and more).
-
SEO + content strategy: Sites and structures engineered to win local searches and capture high-intent travelers.
-
Marketing options: From done-with-you (training + toolkits) to done-for-you campaigns (SEO, social, email).
-
Branding to performance: Elevate perceived value with strong brand identity, video, and conversion UX.
“Buck Fees. Book More™” is the idea: direct traffic to your booking engine, keep more revenue, and build independence.
What StayFi brings to the stack
StayFi turns guest WiFi into a branded, first-party data engine and connects it to automated email & SMS that drive repeat bookings:
-
Branded WiFi splash pages capture emails and phone numbers from every guest, not just the booker.
-
HomePage guest portal centralizes house info, upsells (The Host Co., Viator, etc.), and brand touchpoints.
-
Email & SMS automations for post-stay reviews, rebooking offers, gaps/shoulder season promos, and anniversary nudges.
-
Alerts & device visibility help keep WiFi and properties online for a consistent guest experience.
Result: a growing list of verified, opted-in contacts and a system that converts past guests into direct, repeat customers.
