In our first episode for series 2 of Housed Sarah, Dan and Deenie had a lot to discuss. With Clearing finished for 24/25 the trio digest how this period has looked for the sector and what operators could be doing to stop it being such a 'panic' time of year.

The episode covers:
➡ The importance of pricing, proposition and marketing strategies all year round
➡ The big drop in international students
➡ How properties more premium in nature are not being sold
➡ Customer service and the need for operators to staff correctly during Clearing
➡ How students are voting with their feet and are voting on value
➡ The use of current databases and CRM during Clearing
➡ The need for operators to target parents in their campaigns, especially during Clearing
➡ Predictions for next year.
