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 Newcastle: Great North Run half marathon each September; Hadrian's Wall and the Northumberland National Park dark-sky reserve; Bamburgh and Alnwick castles plus Holy Island of Lindisfarne; Newcastle United fixtures at St James' Park and the Quayside nightlife. Guests I price for: City-breakers and stag and hen groups around the Quayside, Jesmond and Ouseburn, plus families touring the coast who prefer Bamburgh and Alnwick cottages. Where I start: Splitting a buzzy city rate strategy from rural coastal cottages, and layering match-day and Great North Run premiums onto a two-night weekend base.
I set up pricing with you so city flats carry event premiums and weekday floors, while coastal cottages run on weekly summer pricing and short breaks the rest of the year. Both stay consistent across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, with different minimum-stay rules for each type of home.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Newcastle.
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.
“Newcastle and Northumberland are two businesses under one name. The city sells match days, the Quayside and the Great North Run in September, often to groups on two-night weekends. The coast sells castle country and cottage weeks around Bamburgh and Alnwick. I keep separate strategies so each earns what it should.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
City flats live on football, gigs and contractors in winter, while coastal cottages fall quiet; I price the two separately and offer dark-sky breaks near Kielder for stargazers on clear-night weekends.
Easter opens the coast, graduations fill Newcastle in summer and the Hoppings funfair lands on the Town Moor in June, so I price each of those as its own date or week.
Northumberland castles, beaches and Holy Island draw families for full weeks, so I set weekly coastal prices early and keep city flats priced for weekend visitors and gig-goers.
The Great North Run weekend spikes the city, and I make sure Gateshead and Tynemouth homes are priced up too, since runners and supporters spill out of Newcastle quickly.
Students, football and Christmas markets keep the city steady, while coastal cottages switch to short autumn and winter breaks, priced to cover heating and cleaning on two-night stays.
Price Great North Run weekend as the top city band with 2-night minimums.
Add Newcastle United home fixtures as match-day premiums.

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 Newcastle. Lower January and February floors. Next: add Newcastle United home fixtures as match-day premiums.
Busiest in Newcastle: July and August for the coast and castles, with a sharp September spike around the Great North Run. July to August: Northumberland castles, beaches and Holy Island draw families for full weeks, so I set weekly coastal prices early and keep city flats priced for weekend visitors and gig-goers. September: The Great North Run weekend spikes the city, and I make sure Gateshead and Tynemouth homes are priced up too, since runners and supporters spill out of Newcastle quickly. 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 Newcastle: January and February. October to December: Students, football and Christmas markets keep the city steady, while coastal cottages switch to short autumn and winter breaks, priced to cover heating and cleaning on two-night stays. January to March: City flats live on football, gigs and contractors in winter, while coastal cottages fall quiet; I price the two separately and offer dark-sky breaks near Kielder for stargazers on clear-night weekends.
City flats and coastal cottages priced from one comp set and great North Run priced like an ordinary September weekend. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Newcastle, 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 Newcastle behave differently. Jesmond: Leafy streets close to the universities and the city draw visiting parents and families, so I price for calm, longer stays rather than nightlife groups. Quayside and Ouseburn and Bamburgh, Seahouses and Alnwick get their own treatment.
Bamburgh and Alnwick castles plus Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Newcastle United fixtures at St James' Park and the Quayside nightlife and Great North Run half marathon each September are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Newcastle. April to June: Easter opens the coast, graduations fill Newcastle in summer and the Hoppings funfair lands on the Town Moor in June, so I price each of those as its own date or week.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Newcastle, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Newcastle sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. April to June: Easter opens the coast, graduations fill Newcastle in summer and the Hoppings funfair lands on the Town Moor in June, so I price each of those as its own date or week.
How tide times for the Holy Island causeway are explained in guest information, since visitors who misjudge them leave unhappy reviews even when the cottage itself was perfect. 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 Newcastle the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: lower January and February floors.
