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 Death Valley: Death Valley National Park; Las Vegas road trips; Dark-sky stargazing; International summer heat tourism. Guests I price for: International and domestic road-trippers on 1 to 2 night stays, mostly in gateway towns. Where I start: Winter and spring premiums, road-trip one-night pricing, and summer floors.
On Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb I set up your Death Valley pricing in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with single-night stays allowed, bloom and holiday overrides, a summer floor for international visitors, and short lead-time rules for drivers who book on the road from Las Vegas.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Death Valley.
