Flockr has had a big impact on how students engage with our listings on Yugo.com. Since adding it, we’ve seen more students clicking into properties, spending longer on room pages, and submitting more viewing requests. The real-time messages — like when someone is looking at the same residence or has just booked a room — create a real sense of interest and urgency without feeling intrusive.
It’s been especially helpful during peak booking periods when students are deciding quickly — Flockr helps show what’s popular and builds trust in the options we offer. Setup was simple, and the support team helped us tailor the design to fit our brand seamlessly.
If you’re in student accommodation and want more eyes on your listings (and more bookings), I’d definitely recommend giving Flockr a try.

Yugo is a global student housing platform that helps students find and book accommodation in top university cities around the world.
With a mission to create a better living experience for students, Yugo offers purpose-built residences, flexible booking options, and a focus on student wellbeing. The platform brings together thousands of verified listings, making it easy for students to browse, compare, and reserve their ideal home away from home — all in one place.
With thousands of listings across global destinations, Yugo needed a way to help students confidently navigate their options and take action — especially during peak booking periods when urgency matters. While traffic to room pages was strong, many students hesitated to request viewings or complete bookings, often overwhelmed by choice or unsure which properties were most popular.
Yugo wanted a solution that could build trust, highlight demand, and guide students toward faster decision-making. That’s why they turned to Flockr — to bring real-time social proof to their listings and boost engagement at critical conversion points.
Flockr integrated seamlessly with Yugo.com to display real-time social proof messages on key property and room pages. These messages highlighted live user activity — such as how many students were viewing a listing or when a room was recently booked — creating a sense of popularity and urgency.
The implementation was fast and fully customisable, ensuring the messaging aligned with Yugo’s brand and didn’t disrupt the user experience. By surfacing timely and relevant signals of demand, Flockr helped guide students toward confident, faster decisions — ultimately increasing viewing requests and completed bookings across multiple regions.
After implementing Flockr, Yugo saw a measurable uplift across key engagement and conversion metrics. Most notably, "Arrange a Viewing" actions increased by 17.5%, directly contributing to additional viewing-related revenue. Online bookings also rose by 5%, and “Add to Cart” actions jumped 15%, showing a stronger intent to book.
Flockr’s real-time social proof also influenced deeper funnel behaviour — “Book Room” clicks surged by 27%, and visits to the booking flow page increased 17%. These improvements translated into a 13% lift in students beginning checkout.
Even top-of-funnel activity benefitted, with a 6.5% increase in students browsing search results, suggesting that the added urgency and validation made users more proactive in their journey.
Flockr helped Yugo surface demand, reduce decision hesitation, and guide students toward taking meaningful action. The results demonstrate how subtle, contextual nudges can significantly increase both engagement and revenue on a high-intent platform.
