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 Lafayette: Festival International de Louisiane; LSU football at Tiger Stadium; Mardi Gras celebrations; Cajun and Zydeco music and the Atchafalaya Basin. Guests I price for: Festival-goers and LSU fans on 2 to 3 night stays around downtown Lafayette, the Oil Center and Baton Rouge near campus. Where I start: Event-driven premiums stacking festivals and game days, two-night weekend minimums, and midweek pricing through a soft high-summer lull.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I load Festival International, Festivals Acadiens et Creoles, Mardi Gras parade weekends and the LSU home schedule as separate events, add two-night minimums on those dates, and set gap rules for short stays. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then all reflect the same event pricing.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Lafayette.
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.
“Lafayette and Baton Rouge are event towns. Festival International and Mardi Gras fill spring, LSU football fills autumn Saturdays in Baton Rouge, and July and August are hot and quiet. I stack event premiums and use midweek pricing to fill the gaps.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Mardi Gras parades in Lafayette and Baton Rouge lift February weekends. I price parade weekends as events and keep midweek rates flexible for state government and business visitors.
Festival International fills downtown Lafayette in late April, and crawfish season brings weekend visitors. I price festival weekend highest and keep two-night minimums through spring.
Heat, humidity and the start of hurricane season slow leisure trips. I lower weekend rates, allow single nights and target oil and gas crews, hospital visitors and families coming home to Acadiana.
LSU home weekends dominate Baton Rouge, while Festivals Acadiens et Creoles brings October visitors to Lafayette. I price both cities separately and open football dates early.
Holiday visits and bowl travel create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate, price Christmas week carefully, and watch for postseason games.

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.

|---|---|---|

Busiest in Lafayette: February to April for Mardi Gras and Festival International, and September to November for LSU football, spiking on Tiger Stadium game weekends. September to November: LSU home weekends dominate Baton Rouge, while Festivals Acadiens et Creoles brings October visitors to Lafayette. I price both cities separately and open football dates early. January to March: Mardi Gras parades in Lafayette and Baton Rouge lift February weekends. I price parade weekends as events and keep midweek rates flexible for state government and business visitors. 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. Whether the property is priced from comps in its own city, because Lafayette festival guests and Baton Rouge football fans have different needs and booking patterns.
Price LSU home game weekends as top premiums in Baton Rouge. Next: add Mardi Gras weekends. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Lafayette 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 Lafayette: July to August, the hottest and quietest weeks. December: Holiday visits and bowl travel create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate, price Christmas week carefully, and watch for postseason games. June to August: Heat, humidity and the start of hurricane season slow leisure trips. I lower weekend rates, allow single nights and target oil and gas crews, hospital visitors and families coming home to Acadiana.
LSU weekends priced too low and lafayette and Baton Rouge homes priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Lafayette, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Lafayette, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Lafayette sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. December: Holiday visits and bowl travel create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate, price Christmas week carefully, and watch for postseason games.
Baton Rouge near LSU: Tiger Stadium weekends drive demand. I price home-game weekends as the strongest dates and keep midweek rates for visiting families and university guests. Downtown Lafayette and The Oil Center 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.
Cajun and Zydeco music and the Atchafalaya Basin, Festival International de Louisiane and LSU football at Tiger Stadium are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Lafayette.
