About The Client

15+ Handpicked Properties Across Goa

SelectStays has been in the vacation rental space for a while, with a portfolio of 15+ handpicked properties across Goa listed on trusted third-party booking platforms. What they needed now was a clear brand identity and a direct line to their audience, outside platform boundaries.

When Select Stays partnered with YBS Digital, the vision was simple but bold: To go beyond third-party platforms and create a brand that guests remembered and returned to.

The Challenge

From Third-Party Listed to Brand-Recognized

Select Stays had loyal customers, beautiful properties, and quality service. But their identity was tied to third-party platforms. They were booked, but not branded.

No Brand of Their Own

Without a website or direct presence, their identity was tied to third-party booking platforms. They were visible, but not distinct.

No Place to Tell Their Story

They couldn't communicate their unique value proposition, property experiences, or brand ethos in their own voice.

No Direct Connect with Guests

All bookings went through third-party platforms, meaning they had no direct relationship with potential guests.

The Solution

A Full-Stack Brand Transformation

We approached this in three phases: Branding, Web and Social Media to make Select Stays not just a service, but a brand that lives independently.

🎨

Brand Identity Creation

Created a calming, luxury-first logo, custom brand color palette rooted in elegance and escape, and a brand tone that feels boutique, honest and experience-first.

  • Luxury-first logo design
  • Custom brand color palette
