Agenda Management
To start a photography hide, you must first ensure the location is suitable and legal. This means obtaining permission from the landowner and possibly a permit from local authorities, depending on the regulations in your area. Also, ensure that the location is regularly visited by wildlife and is safe for both the animals and visitors. Consider the type of hide you want to set up, from a simple pop-up camo blind to a more permanent structure. If you are unsure about the regulations, it is advisable to contact the relevant authorities.
Adding your hide to our platform as a host is very simple. Click one of the "Get Started" buttons on this page, create an account, and fill in all necessary information to receive payments. Then follow the steps outlined to register your hide. After you submit your information, we will review your hide and aim to get it online as soon as possible.
Yes, it's possible to add multiple hides to a single account. Simply go to your dashboard and add additional listings. As an added benefit, the commission decreases by 0.5% with each additional hide added, down to a minimum of 12.5% when registering 11 or more hides. This reduced rate then applies to all your listings.
Ensure that the camera is mounted at eye level with the animals, as this produces the best images. Maintain sufficient distance between the animals and the background to create beautiful, soft backgrounds and good separation of the subject. In the area around the hide, you can add elements that are natural and attractive, such as water sources, feeding spots, and aesthetically placed branches, which not only attract animals but also provide better photographic opportunities. Be open to feedback from users and examine other successful hides to continuously make improvements and enhance photo quality.
If you use your own website and employ a different booking system there, this may lead to double bookings when combined with our platform. This happens if you do not timely mark the dates reserved on your own website as 'unavailable' on our platform or vice versa. To avoid cancellations and dissatisfied customers, we offer the option to embed our platform's booking calendar on your own site. In your dashboard, under the 'Agenda' tab for each hide, you will find a unique code. By copying and embedding this code on your own website, you synchronize the availability. Visitors to your website will then see the same availability as on our platform, preventing double bookings. If a customer on your site selects a date and clicks 'checkout', they are redirected to our platform to complete the transaction. We treat these bookings as direct bookings from you, without charging a commission on the hide price, because the lead came through you. You thus receive the full amount from these bookings. Only our service fee for the customer is charged to cover our costs, ensuring you are still rewarded for your own customers while also preventing double bookings. For a clear and visual explanation of how to integrate the booking calendar on your own website, we recommend watching the video "Agenda Management" above.
