Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in Ashland: The Oregon Shakespeare Festival's long season; Rogue Valley wine country; Southern Oregon University events; Mount Ashland skiing and Crater Lake day trips. Guests I price for: Theatre-going couples and retirees on 3 to 5 night festival stays near Lithia Park and downtown Ashland, plus wine and outdoor travellers. Where I start: A long February-to-October festival season shaping demand, matinee-and-weekend minimums, and monthly winter rate cards during the theatre off-season.
For hosts I set up your pricing tool with performance weeks loaded from the current festival calendar, three-night minimums on peak weekends, Britt and film festival dates as events, and monthly rates for the winter months. I review the schedule each year rather than copying last season.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Ashland.
