Vacation rental revenue management that stays practical
Revenue management is more than dynamic pricing: protect margin with minimums, stay rules, and a clear channel mix.
Punti chiave
- •Set floors/ceilings and stay rules by season and event.
- •Run a weekly hold/raise/lower review using pickup.
- •Track profit per stay, not just revenue.
Problemi comuni per gli host
- •Pricing tools over-discount midweek stays and cut margin
- •No process for adjusting minimum stays around events
- •Owners only see top-line revenue, not profitability
- •Reports are too complex to drive weekly action
Cosa devono includere le buone soluzioni
- •Clear floors, ceilings, and minimum stays by season
- •Channel mix targets with direct bookings for repeat guests
- •Weekly action list: raise, hold, or lower rates based on pickup
- •Simple profitability view after fees, cleaning, and taxes
Suggerimenti pratici dalla vita quotidiana di host
- Set weekend and event minimums 90 days out; relax them if pickup is slow.
- Use a “hold/raise/lower” checklist each Monday for the next four weeks of inventory.
- Track profit per stay, not just revenue—fees and cleaning eat margin.
- Tag repeat guests and offer direct booking codes to reduce fees.
