Overview

What is Airbnb revenue management in Chattanooga?

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 Chattanooga: Tennessee Volunteers football; Ironman Chattanooga and outdoor tourism; Riverbend Festival; Smoky Mountains overflow. Guests I price for: Regional families and game-day groups on 2 to 3 night stays. Where I start: Game-day and event premiums, outdoor-season weekend rates, and winter floors.

I set up your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com strategy with you so game days, Riverbend, Ironman, the regatta and outdoor weekends each have their own rate and minimum stay, with weekday rules that suit travelling workers and university visitors in both cities.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Chattanooga

“Chattanooga and Knoxville are regional weekend markets with big football and outdoor events. Tennessee home games fill Knoxville, while Chattanooga sells outdoor tourism, Ironman and Riverbend. Some Knoxville demand also spills over from the Smokies. I price each city on its own event calendar.”

How I price it

My Chattanooga calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryLow

    Visitors thin out, so I lower floors in both cities, allow one night stays and keep weekly rates for travelling workers.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Spring outdoor trips and Knoxville's Dogwood Arts festival lift weekends, so I price those dates and keep weekdays flexible.

  3. JuneHigh

    Riverbend fills Chattanooga's riverfront, so I price festival nights highest near downtown and keep summer weekends strong in both cities.

  4. July to AugustShoulder

    Heat slows demand, so I keep weekend rates for river and lake visitors and use weekly offers for families heading to the mountains.

  5. September to NovemberPeak

    Volunteer home games, Ironman and the Head of the Hooch regatta fill weekends, so I price each event date individually and open them early.

  6. DecemberShoulder

    Holiday visits create a few good weekends, so I price those and keep midweek rates low for the rest of the month.

Where I price differently in Chattanooga

Chattanooga North Shore and Southside
Walkable to the riverfront and festivals; I price for event weekends and outdoor travellers, with Riverbend and Ironman dates highest.
Lookout Mountain
Views and attractions like Rock City and Ruby Falls; I price for family weekends and summer stays, with autumn colour adding a premium.
Knoxville Fort Sanders and the Old City
Close to campus and the stadium; I price home game weekends highest and keep weekday rates for university visitors.

What I check first in Chattanooga

  • Whether a Chattanooga home sits in a zone that allows short stays without the owner present, because the city's rules decide what strategy is possible.
  • How close a Knoxville home is to Neyland Stadium, since walk-to-game homes can price game days far above homes that need a drive and parking.
  • Which events each city's calendar holds, because Chattanooga and Knoxville peak on different weekends and I never price them as one market.
