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 Perugia: Umbria Jazz festival; Eurochocolate; Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Francis; Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. Guests I price for: festival-goers and pilgrims on 2 to 4 night stays in Perugia's historic centre and the hill towns of Assisi and Spoleto. Where I start: back-to-back summer and autumn festival premiums, Assisi's steady pilgrim base, and Umbria regional coding plus national CIN across the rural lets.
I configure your pricing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo so Umbria Jazz, Eurochocolate and Spoleto dates are loaded ahead, Assisi keeps a steady pilgrim floor, and countryside homes switch to weekly stays in July and August, with Umbria regional codes and the CIN matching on every channel.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Perugia.
