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 Norman: Oklahoma Sooners football at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium; University of Oklahoma graduation and campus events; Lake Thunderbird recreation; Oklahoma City event spillover. Guests I price for: Sooners fans and alumni on game weekends, university families, and Oklahoma City event visitors. Where I start: Opponent-tiered game pricing, graduation premiums, and winter floors.
On Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com I price your Norman rental around Sooners football, spring festivals and the Women's College World Series, with sensible floors for winter and July. Inside PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set opponent-tiered overrides, length-of-stay discounts for research and contractor guests and stay rules that keep game weekends at two nights.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Norman.
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 Norman pricing strategy has to decide how much each home game is worth and how low winter and July can go. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set event overrides tiered by opponent, two-night rules for game weekends and length-of-stay discounts for research and contractor guests, with floors that hold steady when campus empties.
My first focus is the opponent tiers, because pricing every home Saturday alike leaves the strongest SEC dates badly underpriced.
Move-in weekend then football: I price each home Saturday from the opponent's travelling support, keep away weekends near base and keep watch for Thanksgiving week when the schedule ends at home.
With students away and football over, I drop floors, open monthly rates for visiting scientists and contractors, and lift only the dates of big Sooners basketball games at the Lloyd Noble Center.
The most valuable game-day location in town, so I sell Saturdays at strong rates with two-night stays and price weekdays for visiting parents and faculty instead of fans.

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 Norman. Use 2-night minimums on game weekends and allow single nights in July. Next: leave the Texas weekend at normal rates, since the Red River Rivalry is played in Dallas, not in Norman.
Busiest in Norman: Oklahoma Sooners home football weekends in the autumn, plus graduation in May and the Women's College World Series in nearby Oklahoma City in June. June: The Women's College World Series runs in Oklahoma City, and I lift the full tournament window when the Sooners are playing, with shorter minimums because fans follow the bracket day by day. Late August to November: Move-in weekend then football: I price each home Saturday from the opponent's travelling support, keep away weekends near base and keep watch for Thanksgiving week when the schedule ends at home. 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 Norman: December to February and July. July to mid-August: Heat and a quiet campus make this the softest summer stretch, so I welcome single nights, lean on Lake Thunderbird visitors and quote weekly rates for interns and new staff. December to February: With students away and football over, I drop floors, open monthly rates for visiting scientists and contractors, and lift only the dates of big Sooners basketball games at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Every home game priced the same, whoever the visitor is and july and winter weekends priced like spring. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Norman, 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 Norman behave differently. Downtown Norman and Main Street: Walkable to bars, the Norman Music Festival and a quick ride to campus; I price these for couples and groups who want nightlife as much as football. Campus Corner and the university core and East Norman near Lake Thunderbird get their own treatment.
Lake Thunderbird recreation, Oklahoma City event spillover and Oklahoma Sooners football at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Norman. March to May: Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Norman, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Norman sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to May: Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing.
Whether the listing deals with storm season properly, with a clear note on shelter or safe rooms and a sensible cancellation policy, since spring travellers in Oklahoma ask about it before booking. 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.

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 Norman I would start from March to May: Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Norman.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Norman the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use 2-night minimums on game weekends and allow single nights in July.
