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 Lincoln: Nebraska Cornhuskers football at Memorial Stadium; University of Nebraska graduation and campus events; State government and legislative sessions; Volleyball and youth sports tournaments. Guests I price for: Husker fans and alumni on 1 to 3 night game weekends, visiting parents, and state government travel. Where I start: Home-game weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, graduation pricing, and steady weekday floors.
On Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com I build your Lincoln listing in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse around tiered game weekends, two-night minimums, graduation and marathon dates and a summer floor, and I make sure each channel shows the same rules so game-weekend nights are not sold piecemeal.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Lincoln.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
A Lincoln pricing strategy starts with a weekday base for university and state government visitors, then adds game layers. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set opponent-based football overrides, smaller lifts for volleyball and the spring game, graduation premiums and a summer floor. I keep Friday and Saturday together on game weekends so the most valuable nights are not split.
The first decision I make with the owner is the price tier for each home game, starting with the biggest Big Ten opponent of the season.
December commencement and volleyball tournament runs can bring short spikes; otherwise I lower floors before the holidays and offer weekly rates for visiting families.
The Unicameral is in session and basketball runs at Pinnacle Bank Arena, so I keep weekday rates even and add small lifts for the state high school tournaments and the spring game.
Walkable to Memorial Stadium and Pinnacle Bank Arena; I price these at the top on game weekends and use concerts and basketball to support winter.
My full Lincoln calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lincoln.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan.

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!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Lincoln. Keep steady weekday rates for legislative and state agency travel from January into spring. Next: use 2-night minimums on game weekends and keep Friday and Saturday together.
Busiest in Lincoln: September to November Nebraska Cornhuskers home football weekends, plus May graduation. May: Commencement weekend and the Lincoln Marathon fill the city in quick succession; I price both with two-night minimums and keep the weeks between them close to normal. September to November: Each home football Saturday gets its own tier, set when the schedule comes out; volleyball weekends at the Devaney Center and parents' weekend sit just below the game weekends. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Lincoln: December to February and July. December: December commencement and volleyball tournament runs can bring short spikes; otherwise I lower floors before the holidays and offer weekly rates for visiting families. January to April: The Unicameral is in session and basketball runs at Pinnacle Bank Arena, so I keep weekday rates even and add small lifts for the state high school tournaments and the spring game.
Pricing every home game the same, whatever the opponent and allowing single Saturday-night bookings on game weekends. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Lincoln, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Lincoln behave differently. Near South and Country Club: Older family houses a short drive from campus; I sell them to alumni groups and visiting parents who want space and character over walkability. Haymarket and Downtown and South and East Lincoln get their own treatment.
State government and legislative sessions, Volleyball and youth sports tournaments and Nebraska Cornhuskers football at Memorial Stadium are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Lincoln. May: Commencement weekend and the Lincoln Marathon fill the city in quick succession; I price both with two-night minimums and keep the weeks between them close to normal.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Lincoln, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Lincoln sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. May: Commencement weekend and the Lincoln Marathon fill the city in quick succession; I price both with two-night minimums and keep the weeks between them close to normal.
Whether the calendar opens far enough ahead, since alumni and season-ticket families plan around the schedule months before kickoff and book the best homes long before game week. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Lincoln the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: keep steady weekday rates for legislative and state agency travel from January into spring. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
