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 Black Hills: Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park; Sturgis Motorcycle Rally; Summer national-park road trips; Deadwood gaming and events. Guests I price for: Road-tripping families on 2 to 4 night stays, rally visitors on week-long stays. Where I start: Rally-week premiums with minimum stays, summer rates, and long winter floors.
I set up your Airbnb and Vrbo strategy with you so rally week, the summer park season, the Buffalo Roundup and winter weekends each have their own rate and minimum stay, with clear rules for motorcycles, trailers and large groups written into the listing.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Black Hills.
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.
“The Black Hills are a summer road-trip market with one extraordinary week: the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August. Rally week can earn far more than any other period, and it needs clear rules on parking, guests and cleaning. The rest of summer is Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park visitors on short stays.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Snow brings skiers to Terry Peak and gamers to Deadwood, so I price northern Hills weekends a little above the rest and keep long-stay offers elsewhere.
Road trips start after Memorial Day, so I lower floors in April, then lift late May weekends as the parks and attractions open for the season.
Families visit Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, so I keep two or three night stays, hold rates firm and fill single gap nights with smaller discounts.
I price the rally as a separate block with longer stays and clear rules, and I set the days before and after it as their own smaller peak.
Retirees and couples arrive after school starts, and the Buffalo Roundup lifts late September, so I keep weekends strong and ease weekday rates.
Most visitors leave, so I drop to long-stay rates outside Deadwood and price the holidays and hunting weekends where they apply.
Price Sturgis Rally week as the top band, opened a year ahead with week-long stays.
Set clear parking, guest and cleaning rules for rally guests.
Price June to September with 2 to 3-night stays for road-trippers.
Add Deadwood events as smaller premiums.
Set low winter floors.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |

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!

Busiest in Black Hills: June to September, with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August. Late August to September: Retirees and couples arrive after school starts, and the Buffalo Roundup lifts late September, so I keep weekends strong and ease weekday rates. June to July: Families visit Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, so I keep two or three night stays, hold rates firm and fill single gap nights with smaller discounts. 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. Drive time from the home to Sturgis, Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, because the same cabin is priced very differently by rally guests and park families.
Price Sturgis Rally week as the top band, opened a year ahead with week-long stays. Next: price June to September with 2 to 3-night stays for road-trippers. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Black Hills 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 Black Hills: November to April. October to December: Most visitors leave, so I drop to long-stay rates outside Deadwood and price the holidays and hunting weekends where they apply. January to March: Snow brings skiers to Terry Peak and gamers to Deadwood, so I price northern Hills weekends a little above the rest and keep long-stay offers elsewhere.
Rally week booked early at summer rates and no parking or house rules for rally guests. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Black Hills, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Black Hills, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Black Hills sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. June to July: Families visit Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, so I keep two or three night stays, hold rates firm and fill single gap nights with smaller discounts.
Spearfish, Deadwood and Lead: The northern Hills are nearest Sturgis and Terry Peak, so I build the rally and winter weekends into this area's calendar. Rapid City and Hill City and Keystone 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.
Deadwood gaming and events, Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park and Sturgis Motorcycle Rally are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Black Hills. October to December: Most visitors leave, so I drop to long-stay rates outside Deadwood and price the holidays and hunting weekends where they apply.
