In a world where social media can make you or break you, clients can experience what you offer without walking in the door, and an online review can move you into the red. Who do you turn to who can help make sense of it all?

Hi, my name is Adrian Easdown, host of That Bad Review podcast and author of bestselling book That Bad Review.

I work with business owners across resorts, caravan parks and holiday accommodation, where I use my expertise to help them streamline their businesses and maximise their profits, making sure they get ahead of the pack in this modern digital world.

Using my proven 6 step REVIEW framework, I’ll work with you to avoid reacting to the issues you face. I can help you build trust with clients who will return again and again, ensuring increased revenues for your accommodation business – helping you stand out online, and on the ground.

What We Do

 

About

If you told me a few years ago I would be managing a highly successful holiday park in one of the most beautiful places in Australia, I would’ve said you were bonkers. But the path I’ve taken to get here hasn’t been a straightforward one. There have been plenty of bumps in the road along the way, and it’s left me with a huge amount of experience to share with other business owners.

When I came back to Australia from the UK, I wanted to capitalise on the experience I had built up working at Wimbledon, Royal Ascot and the O2 Arena. I knew I wanted to help bring great holiday experiences to people, just like the family trips I had when I was a kid. So, I set about looking for an accommodation business that I could manage.

When I took over the Evans Head Holiday Park, it needed quite a bit of love and care. Applying my management and customer service experience, and with some trial and error along the way, I turned it into one of the biggest parks in the Southern Hemisphere with a revenue stream that grows year on year.

But life isn’t all about profits. I make sure that I have a great balance so I can share my success with my wife and kids, and really enjoy the life I have built.

My mission now is helping other accommodation owners replicate the success I have had in their own business and life.

I want to help you make sure that your clients are happy and that your team love coming to work every day. We can build your profits year after year and get the results you have always dreamed about. And I’ll make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy that success with the people you love!
