Overview

What is Airbnb revenue management in Boise?

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 Boise: Sun Valley ski season; Boise State football and business travel; Summer river and trail season; Relocation and mid-term demand. Guests I price for: Ski groups on 4 to 7 night stays, corporate and relocation guests in Boise. Where I start: Dual-season pricing, mid-term relocation rate cards, and inter-season floors.

I set up your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com strategy with you so ski holidays, summer concerts, Boise weekends and monthly relocation stays each have their own rules, and so a Ketchum condo and a Boise house are never priced from the same comps.

The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Boise.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Boise

“Boise and Sun Valley are two very different markets under one heading. Sun Valley is a winter ski resort with a quieter summer, while Boise is a growing city with relocations, business travel and Boise State football. I build a ski strategy for one and a mid-term and event strategy for the other.”

How I price it

My Boise calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchHigh

    Sun Valley is in full ski season, so I hold weekend and Presidents' Day rates firm there, while Boise homes run on business weekdays and monthly stays.

  2. April to MayLow

    Ketchum goes quiet between seasons, so I lower floors and open short stays; in Boise I lean on graduations and relocation stays to keep the calendar moving.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    Boise sells river floats and summer weekends, and Sun Valley sells concerts, hiking and biking, so I price both firmly and give July and August their own bands.

  4. September to NovemberShoulder

    Football Saturdays help Boise and autumn colour helps the Wood River Valley, so I keep those weekends strong and ease weekday rates elsewhere.

  5. DecemberPeak

    The Christmas to New Year stretch in Sun Valley carries the highest rates of the year, so I open it early with long minimums and price it home by home.

Where I price differently in Boise

Boise North End and downtown
Walkable, close to the river and the foothills trails; I price for business weekdays, summer weekends and monthly relocation stays.
Ketchum
The ski town at the base of Bald Mountain; I price it for winter holiday weeks and summer events, with lift distance driving the premium.
Elkhorn and Sun Valley village
Resort condos close to the lodge and the summer pavilion; I price them for families on ski weeks and concert guests in the warmer months.

What I check first in Boise

  • Whether a Ketchum or Sun Valley home has the city or county short-term rental permit it needs, which I confirm before any ski-season pricing.
  • How far the home is from the River Run or Warm Springs lifts, because in Ketchum a short walk to the snow is worth more than an extra bedroom.
  • Whether a Boise home offers clear monthly terms, a work space and parking, since relocation and corporate guests compare those before the rate.

FAQ

11 questions about Airbnb revenue management in Boise

Busiest in Boise: June to September in Boise and mid-December to March in Sun Valley, with the Christmas holidays the highest. December: The Christmas to New Year stretch in Sun Valley carries the highest rates of the year, so I open it early with long minimums and price it home by home. January to March: Sun Valley is in full ski season, so I hold weekend and Presidents' Day rates firm there, while Boise homes run on business weekdays and monthly stays. 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.

What do you check first on a Boise property when it comes to Airbnb revenue management?

For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether a Ketchum or Sun Valley home has the city or county short-term rental permit it needs, which I confirm before any ski-season pricing.

What is the first pricing move you would make in Boise?

Price Sun Valley's Christmas to New Year and holiday weeks as the top winter bands, with long minimum stays. Next: set monthly rates in Boise for relocations and corporate projects. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Boise property usually leaks the most.

What do you do in Boise's quiet months?

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 Boise: April to May and October to November. September to November: Football Saturdays help Boise and autumn colour helps the Wood River Valley, so I keep those weekends strong and ease weekday rates elsewhere. April to May: Ketchum goes quiet between seasons, so I lower floors and open short stays; in Boise I lean on graduations and relocation stays to keep the calendar moving.

Which booking channels matter most in Boise?

Boise sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. December: The Christmas to New Year stretch in Sun Valley carries the highest rates of the year, so I open it early with long minimums and price it home by home.

Which parts of Boise do you treat differently for Airbnb revenue management?

Relocation and mid-term demand, Sun Valley ski season and Boise State football and business travel are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Boise. June to August: Boise sells river floats and summer weekends, and Sun Valley sells concerts, hiking and biking, so I price both firmly and give July and August their own bands.

Why hire a consultant for Airbnb revenue management in Boise instead of an agency or an in-house hire?

For Airbnb revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between.
