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 Bellingham: Mount Baker Ski Area and its record snowfalls; The San Juan Islands ferry gateway; Western Washington University events; The Ski to Sea multi-sport race. Guests I price for: Seattle and Vancouver visitors on 2 to 4 night stays in Fairhaven and downtown, using Bellingham as a base for skiing, the San Juans and the border. Where I start: Winter Mount Baker ski and summer island-gateway peaks, weekend minimums, and cross-border demand pricing tied to the exchange rate and university calendar.
I set up your Airbnb and Vrbo strategy with you so snow weekends, Ski to Sea, university dates and summer island trips each have their own rule, and so Canadian guests see a price that still looks fair after conversion.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Bellingham.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“Bellingham is a base for Mount Baker skiing, the San Juan Islands and cross-border travel. Winter snow and summer island trips are the peaks, and Canadian demand moves with the exchange rate. Western Washington University adds events. Guests use the city as a base rather than a destination in itself, so location relative to the ferry, the mountain road or the border often matters more than the home's size.”

I watch the Mount Baker snow report and lift Friday and Saturday rates in the Glacier cabins when a storm cycle lands, while city homes stay closer to their normal winter level.
Snow is fading and summer has not started, so I shorten minimums to one or two nights and aim weekday rates at visiting university families and Seattle couples.
Relay teams book whole houses, so I sell this weekend as a three night block and price larger homes by how many racers they can sleep.
This is the heart of the year; I keep two night weekend minimums, hold July and August firm, and open next summer as soon as autumn arrives.
I drop the floor in steps, add weekly discounts for remote workers, and keep Western Washington University family weekends priced above the surrounding dates.
Early December is quiet, but the holiday stretch and the first big Baker weekends pick up, so I price the last two weeks separately from the first two.

One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Bellingham: June to September for the island gateway and December to March for Mount Baker, with the Ski to Sea race in May. June to September: This is the heart of the year; I keep two night weekend minimums, hold July and August firm, and open next summer as soon as autumn arrives. January to March: I watch the Mount Baker snow report and lift Friday and Saturday rates in the Glacier cabins when a storm cycle lands, while city homes stay closer to their normal winter level. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Which side of the border the bookings actually come from, because if most guests are British Columbians I read the loonie against the dollar before I touch the nightly rate.
Price Mount Baker ski weekends in winter. Next: add Ski to Sea weekend in May. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Bellingham property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Bellingham: April and the late-autumn shoulder. December: Early December is quiet, but the holiday stretch and the first big Baker weekends pick up, so I price the last two weeks separately from the first two. April to mid-May: Snow is fading and summer has not started, so I shorten minimums to one or two nights and aim weekday rates at visiting university families and Seattle couples.
Canadian demand ignored and ski to Sea ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Bellingham, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Bellingham, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Bellingham sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Ski to Sea weekend (Memorial Day): Relay teams book whole houses, so I sell this weekend as a three night block and price larger homes by how many racers they can sleep.
Glacier and the Mount Baker Highway: Cabins on the road up to the ski area live and die by snow; I set the winter season by storm timing rather than by the calendar month. Fairhaven and Downtown and Sehome get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
The Ski to Sea multi-sport race, Mount Baker Ski Area and its record snowfalls and The San Juan Islands ferry gateway are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Bellingham. December: Early December is quiet, but the holiday stretch and the first big Baker weekends pick up, so I price the last two weeks separately from the first two.
