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 Big Bear: Big Bear ski and snow season; Joshua Tree National Park; Coachella spill-over; Los Angeles weekend escapes. Guests I price for: Los Angeles and Orange County groups on 2 to 3 night weekend stays. Where I start: Weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, holiday-week pricing, and San Bernardino County STR permit compliance.
I set up your Airbnb and Vrbo strategy with you so snow weekends, Coachella dates, desert cool months and summer lake weekends each have their own rate and minimum stay, while weekdays stay open and fairly priced for flexible Los Angeles travellers.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Big Bear.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“Big Bear and Joshua Tree are both Los Angeles weekend escapes, but in opposite seasons. Big Bear peaks with snow, Joshua Tree with cooler desert months and Coachella overflow. Both depend on Friday and Saturday demand, both need San Bernardino County permits, and both have many similar cabins, so features and weekend rules decide most of the revenue.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Big Bear cabins sell on snow and Joshua Tree on mild desert days, so I keep weekend rates high in both and only discount midweek when the forecast is dry.
Coachella weekends and wildflower season lift Joshua Tree, so I price those two festival weekends individually while Big Bear cabins move to spring rates.
Desert heat builds and the mountain is between seasons, so I lower floors, allow one night midweek and push Memorial Day as a short peak.
The lake and cooler air make Big Bear a summer escape, so I lift its weekends, while in Joshua Tree I lean on pool homes and lower rates for the rest.
Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block.
I set Christmas to New Year as the top block with three or four night minimums in Big Bear, and price desert homes for clear-sky holiday trips.
Price Big Bear snow weekends and holiday weeks as the top winter bands, adjusting when snow arrives.
Price Joshua Tree October to May as the main season, with Coachella weekends as a premium.
Use 2-night weekend minimums and allow 1-night weekday stays.
Charge clearly for hot tubs, fire pits and views against comparable cabins.
Confirm the county permit before setting occupancy and minimum stays.

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.

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!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Big Bear. Confirm the county permit before setting occupancy and minimum stays. Next: price Joshua Tree October to May as the main season, with Coachella weekends as a premium.
Busiest in Big Bear: Ski weekends from December to March in Big Bear, and October to May in Joshua Tree with Coachella spill-over in April. September to November: Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block. December: I set Christmas to New Year as the top block with three or four night minimums in Big Bear, and price desert homes for clear-sky holiday trips. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Big Bear: Late spring in Big Bear and July to August heat in Joshua Tree. July to August: The lake and cooler air make Big Bear a summer escape, so I lift its weekends, while in Joshua Tree I lean on pool homes and lower rates for the rest. May to June: Desert heat builds and the mountain is between seasons, so I lower floors, allow one night midweek and push Memorial Day as a short peak.
Big Bear and Joshua Tree homes priced on the same seasonal curve and snow weekends not adjusted after good snowfall. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Big Bear, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Big Bear behave differently. Fawnskin and the North Shore: Quieter, lake-facing cabins away from the village; I sell them on peace and views, with summer weekends and holidays carrying the premium. Moonridge and Joshua Tree town and Yucca Valley get their own treatment.
Coachella spill-over, Los Angeles weekend escapes and Big Bear ski and snow season are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Big Bear. September to November: Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Big Bear, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Big Bear sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. September to November: Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block.
How the listing explains winter access, chains and steep driveways, since a poor arrival in snow costs more in reviews than any rate decision. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Big Bear the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: confirm the county permit before setting occupancy and minimum stays.
