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 New River Gorge: Whitewater rafting on the New and Gauley rivers; Bridge Day and its BASE-jumping crowds; Rock climbing on the Nuttall sandstone; New River Gorge National Park, the nation's newest. Guests I price for: Adventure travellers from Washington, Ohio and the Carolinas on 2 to 3 night stays around Fayetteville and Lansing. Where I start: Single-day Bridge Day surge pricing, Gauley-season weekend premiums, and midweek discounting through a quiet mountain winter.
For hosts around Fayetteville and Summersville I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Bridge Day and Gauley weekend premiums, summer rules for weekends and midweeks, and winter pricing that keeps the calendar open for skiers, hikers and couples instead of closing the home until spring.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in New River Gorge.
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.
“New River Gorge is an adventure market for rafters, climbers and hikers. Bridge Day in October is a single-day event that fills the area, and the autumn Gauley River release season brings serious rafters. Summer weekends are strong. Winter is quiet. I price Bridge Day and Gauley weekends aggressively.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Skiers heading to Winterplace and visitors walking the bridge catwalk keep some demand, so I allow one night stays and keep the floor modest for quiet weekends.
Spring climbing season and high water on the Lower New bring adventure guests, so I lift weekends and keep minimum stays short for climbers and paddlers.
Summer rafting and family trips fill weekends, so I hold Friday and Saturday rates, set two night minimums and offer midweek value to families and groups.
Gauley release weekends and Bridge Day on the third Saturday of October are the top dates, so I open them early with longer stays and the highest rates of the year.
Autumn colour and hunting season bring couples and hunters, so I keep weekend premiums modest and offer longer stays before the winter lull.
Price Bridge Day weekend as the top band with 2-night minimums.
Add Gauley River release weekends in autumn as premiums.
Use weekend pricing for summer rafting season.
Charge for gear storage and parking.
Discount weekdays and winter.
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.

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

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!

Busiest in New River Gorge: May to October, spiking on Bridge Day in October, the autumn Gauley River release season and summer rafting weekends. June to August: Summer rafting and family trips fill weekends, so I hold Friday and Saturday rates, set two night minimums and offer midweek value to families and groups. September to mid-October: Gauley release weekends and Bridge Day on the third Saturday of October are the top dates, so I open them early with longer stays and the highest rates of the year. 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 home is described with drive times to the bridge, the outfitters and the climbing areas, since adventure guests plan around early starts and want to know distances.
Price Bridge Day weekend as the top band with 2-night minimums. Next: use weekend pricing for summer rafting season. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a New River Gorge 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 New River Gorge: December to February. Late October and November: Autumn colour and hunting season bring couples and hunters, so I keep weekend premiums modest and offer longer stays before the winter lull. December to February: Skiers heading to Winterplace and visitors walking the bridge catwalk keep some demand, so I allow one night stays and keep the floor modest for quiet weekends.
Bridge Day priced like an ordinary October weekend and gauley season ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in New River Gorge, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.

New River Gorge sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Late October and November: Autumn colour and hunting season bring couples and hunters, so I keep weekend premiums modest and offer longer stays before the winter lull.
Summersville Lake: Lake and Gauley access with cabins for families; I price summer weekends firmly and keep the autumn release weekends at the strongest level. Fayetteville and Lansing and Ansted 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.
