An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Augusta: The Masters Tournament at Augusta National; Fort Eisenhower military travel; Medical district and Augusta University; Savannah River and Clarks Hill Lake recreation. Guests I price for: Masters patrons and corporate hospitality groups on week-long rentals, military and medical travellers year-round. Where I start: Masters week priced and contracted a year ahead, corporate whole-home rentals, and steady military and medical rates the rest of the year.
For Augusta listings on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, I block tournament week from nightly algorithms entirely and manage it by hand, then let PriceLabs or Wheelhouse handle the rest of the year with long-stay discounts tuned for base and hospital guests and firm floors through the summer heat.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Augusta.
