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 Montpellier: Mediterranean beaches at Palavas and La Grande-Motte; Festival de Radio France; Place de la Comedie and the Ecusson; Languedoc and Pic Saint-Loup wine. Guests I price for: students' families, festival-goers and beachgoers on 3 to 6 night stays in the Ecusson old town and the Antigone district. Where I start: a warm-climate summer beach and festival peak, student-city demand through term time, and French meuble de tourisme registration.
I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you so festival weeks are loaded as events, term-time stays for families and academics have their own rules, and beach homes run weekly in summer. Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel then read from that same plan.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Montpellier.
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.
“Montpellier is a student city with beaches next door. Term time brings parents and academics, summer brings beachgoers to Palavas and La Grande-Motte, and the Festival de Radio France fills July. I price summer and festival weeks and use term-time demand to support the rest.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
Spring weekends, the action sports festival and graduation season lift demand, and I firm up weekends while keeping weekday stays flexible for visiting families.
Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates.
Term starts bring student families and conferences, so I price early September well and ease towards winter while protecting key weekends.

Add Festival de Radio France dates.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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.
Property manager
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 Montpellier. Display registration numbers. Next: add Festival de Radio France dates.
Busiest in Montpellier: June to September for the Mediterranean beaches and the Festival de Radio France. July and August: Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates. 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 Montpellier: December and January. September to December: Term starts bring student families and conferences, so I price early September well and ease towards winter while protecting key weekends. January and February: Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
Student-related demand ignored and city and beach homes priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Montpellier, 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 Montpellier behave differently. Antigone and Port Marianne: Modern districts with tram access suit families and longer stays; I price them for space and value with weekly offers. The Écusson and Palavas and Carnon get their own treatment.
Place de la Comedie and the Ecusson, Languedoc and Pic Saint-Loup wine and Mediterranean beaches at Palavas and La Grande-Motte are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Montpellier. January and February: Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Montpellier, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Montpellier sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel. January and February: Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
If the listing explains how to reach the beaches, since many guests underestimate the distance from the city and need clear advice before choosing. 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. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Montpellier I would start from July and August: Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Montpellier.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Montpellier the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: display registration numbers. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
