In holiday rentals, maximising occupancy and revenue requires a well-planned pricing strategy that aligns with the changing demands of the year. With Season Settings on Search and Stay, property owners can set custom rates, booking conditions, and minimum stay requirements for specific times, such as holidays, long weekends, and school breaks. Coupled with dynamic pricing through PriceLabs, this feature empowers owners to capture higher profits while ensuring properties stay competitive.
The Power of Season Settings in Holiday Rentals
Season Settings on Search and Stay offer greater control over your listing’s availability, day rates, and booking policies for key times of the year. By customising these settings, you can effectively prepare for high-demand seasons, ensuring your property is optimally priced and conditions are suited to guest preferences.
Optimised Pricing for Peak Seasons
Each season has unique demand levels. For instance, summer and holiday breaks bring high demand, while winter months or school terms may attract fewer guests. Season Settings allow you to set higher rates during peak times, capturing maximum revenue, and offer discounted rates during off-peak periods to boost occupancy.
Flexible Booking Conditions
Customising check-in/check-out days, minimum stay requirements, and cancellation policies makes your listing more appealing and profitable during peak seasons. For example, setting a higher minimum stay requirement during long weekends or popular holiday periods can enhance revenue and reduce turnover.
Effortless Planning and Peace of Mind
By configuring Season Settings at least six months in advance, you avoid potential booking mismatches due to general price ranges, ensuring guests see accurate rates and conditions from the start. Advanced planning also allows for a seamless transition between pricing strategies for different periods.
Dynamic Pricing: Elevate Your Season Settings with PriceLabs Integration
While Season Settings provide foundational control, integrating dynamic pricing takes it a step further. PriceLabs on Search and Stay automatically adjusts your property’s rates in response to market fluctuations, local events, and competitor pricing. This ensures that your listing remains competitive without the need for constant manual updates.
Here’s how the Search and Stay and PriceLabs integration enhances your season-based pricing:
