How to Set Custom Airbnb seasonal pricing 

[su_spacer size=”10″]

Many hosts leave money on the table by not setting seasonal custom Airbnb Pricing well in advance.

The script of the video other than the discussion of the tables.

Today we look at how to establish seasonal pricing and how to set it on Airbnb. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
You have read the previous articles (here) in the series? They build-up to this one.

Next week we will look at why and how to set discounts to maximise income. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Let’s consider Michael’s frustration…
[su_spacer size=”10″]
He said,
Twice now I have had an issue where a guest books for a popular date a full 12 months in advance
[su_spacer size=”10″]
 – the dates, they are booking for, are ones which would usually attract a premium.  
[su_spacer size=”10″]
For example, New Year’s Eve, which is a big event in Edinburgh.  
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Is there any way to set the price long in advance? This has cost me hundreds already…
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Sad. Why be a statistic? Let’s fix it. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
First, we will look at a “picture” to conceptualise the idea. It’s a spreadsheet you can download and adapt for your needs. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
But it’s not really required. Your gut feels and a bit of insight will help.
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Secondly, we’ll visit Airbnb to show you how. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
The example I’ll be using is based on the previous video where I showed you how to calculate a competitive Airbnb Pricing. See it here. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Today I’ll make a few assumptions on seasonality. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Our average rate for the year is 750 bucks with a conservative occupancy at 35%. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
And our aim is to beat about 109000 bucks for the year. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
During slow times we set the Airbnb Pricing lower at 90% of the average. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
During summer a little higher at 127%
[su_spacer size=”10″]
During peak, about 20 days we set it really high at 250%. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
And you need to adjust long weekends slightly higher. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
The seasonal difference will differ in your case. And it does not matter a lot. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Let’s say you get a booking quickly and you think it could have been more. Don’t worry. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
You are learning. And this is a marathon where trust-building is more important than a quick buck. You are getting feedback. Adapt. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
But how do I know the differences for the season?
[su_spacer size=”10″]
You can spy on your competitors to check their average rates for seasons. But don’t be surprised if they are clueless about setting different prices. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Start off with small differences between seasonal rates. And learn. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Tip. In future videos, I’ll be warning you about setting Airbnb length of stays correctly. But subscribers to this channel can get the tip before I do that video. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
See the link in the description. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Okay, before we look at the seasonal table let me introduce it. I have divided the year in 26 two week periods. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
I believe this is a reasonable period to set seasonal custom Airbnb Pricing. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
See the video for the table or link to the spreadsheet below. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Slow summer is just a period before winter was demand slows down a bit.

[su_spacer size=”10″]
Okay. Now to Airbnb to set our pricing. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Open your listing. And let’s do it. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
BTW. Always set your listing to be closed by default. Always. This will cost you money if you don’t. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
See the Tips link for why I say this. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Go to Airbnb. Show how to do it. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Brain Chesky Airbnb CEO and others said Post COVID travel will be different. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Yes. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
More and more are realising they can work from home. Certain students don’t have to attend classes. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
More and more will work from home. Give them the opportunity to do it at your Remarkable Airbnb. 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Why not? 
[su_spacer size=”10″]
Have fun
