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 Madison: Badgers football at Camp Randall Stadium; University of Wisconsin commencement and move-in; The Dane County Farmers' Market on the Capitol Square; Ironman Wisconsin. Guests I price for: Alumni and visiting parents plus Epic Systems corporate visitors on 2 to 3 night stays near campus, downtown and the isthmus lakes. Where I start: Game-day and graduation premiums with two-night football minimums, corporate weekday demand tied to Epic in Verona, and midweek pricing between event weekends.
For Madison hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with the Badger home schedule, Ironman and Dairy Expo dates loaded early, weekday rules for Verona business stays, and a Furnished Finder rate card so the winter calendar has a fallback.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Madison.
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.
“Madison is a university and corporate town. Badgers football Saturdays, commencement and Ironman Wisconsin create the peaks, while Epic Systems in Verona brings steady corporate visitors. January and February are quiet. I combine event premiums with corporate weekday pricing. The event dates are known well ahead, so there is no reason to price them late. The harder work is keeping weekdays busy between them, which is where Epic and university visitors earn their place.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I lean on Epic visitors and medical travel with weekly and monthly offers, and set a realistic floor rather than chasing leisure weekends that rarely come in deep winter.
WIAA state tournaments at the Kohl Center and the Crazylegs run lift selected weekends, and May commencement becomes the anchor; I price those dates individually and keep the rest flexible.
Saturday farmers' market crowds, the Great Taste of the Midwest and late August move-in all reward weekend premiums, while I keep weekdays open for conference and Epic traffic.
Home football, Ironman, World Dairy Expo and Freakfest stack into one long peak; I load each date as it is confirmed and hold two-night rules on Badger Saturdays.
Winter commencement and holiday family visits give the month a short lift, so I price graduation weekend early and let the quiet weeks around it drift toward the winter floor.
Price Badgers home football weekends with 2-night minimums.
Price commencement and move-in weekends as premiums.
Add Ironman Wisconsin in September.
Set weekday and monthly rates for Epic corporate visitors.
Lower January and February floors.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.

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 Madison. Lower January and February floors. Next: price commencement and move-in weekends as premiums.
Busiest in Madison: September to November for Wisconsin Badgers football and June to September, spiking on home-game Saturdays, commencement and Ironman Wisconsin. June to August: Saturday farmers' market crowds, the Great Taste of the Midwest and late August move-in all reward weekend premiums, while I keep weekdays open for conference and Epic traffic. September to November: Home football, Ironman, World Dairy Expo and Freakfest stack into one long peak; I load each date as it is confirmed and hold two-night rules on Badger Saturdays. 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 Madison: January to February. December: Winter commencement and holiday family visits give the month a short lift, so I price graduation weekend early and let the quiet weeks around it drift toward the winter floor. January and February: I lean on Epic visitors and medical travel with weekly and monthly offers, and set a realistic floor rather than chasing leisure weekends that rarely come in deep winter.
Corporate demand from Epic ignored and football weekends released as single nights. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Madison, 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 Madison behave differently. Regent and Vilas near Camp Randall: Game-day walkers pay well here, so I put the steepest football and commencement premiums on these homes and accept quieter summers as the trade-off. The isthmus and Capitol Square and Verona and Fitchburg get their own treatment.
The Dane County Farmers' Market on the Capitol Square, Ironman Wisconsin and Badgers football at Camp Randall Stadium are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Madison. March to May: WIAA state tournaments at the Kohl Center and the Crazylegs run lift selected weekends, and May commencement becomes the anchor; I price those dates individually and keep the rest flexible.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Madison, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Madison sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder for corporate stays. March to May: WIAA state tournaments at the Kohl Center and the Crazylegs run lift selected weekends, and May commencement becomes the anchor; I price those dates individually and keep the rest flexible.
Whether there is a distinct weekday product for Epic and university visitors, with a workspace, parking and clean invoices, since that demand behaves nothing like the football crowd. 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.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month.

To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Madison.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Madison the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: lower January and February floors. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
