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 Québec City: Québec Winter Carnival; Festival d'été in July; Old Québec and cruise calls; Christmas markets. Guests I price for: US and Canadian couples on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Festival premiums, winter carnival pricing, and CITQ-compliant positioning.
For hosts I set up your pricing tool with named events for the Carnival, Festival d'été and the Christmas market, plus floors that keep spring and November realistic. I also make sure the French and English versions of the listing carry identical rules.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Québec City.
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.
“Québec City sells Old Québec charm in summer and winter. The Winter Carnival in February is a rare winter peak, Festival d'été fills July and Christmas markets add December. CITQ registration is required. Most guests are couples on short breaks, so walkability to Old Québec and parking in winter are the features that decide bookings and deserve a clear price difference.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The Winter Carnival fills the city for several weekends, so I price them as a block and keep weekdays steady for visitors coming to see the Hôtel de Glace.
Snow melt and sugar-shack season bring local weekend trips only, so I lower floors, allow single nights and keep weekend minimums short.
Rates rise as the terraces in Old Québec open and Saint-Jean-Baptiste on June 24 arrives, which I treat as its own premium date.
Festival d'été de Québec is the top summer event, so I set minimum stays for its days and hold the rest of the summer near peak.
Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October.
November is quiet, so I keep it simple and cheap, then lift prices again for the German Christmas Market and the holiday weeks in Old Québec.
Price the Winter Carnival as a winter premium.
Price Festival d'été as the top summer band.
Add Christmas market weekends.
Price Old Québec homes higher.
Keep CITQ registration current.

Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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 Québec City. Keep CITQ registration current. Next: price Festival d'été as the top summer band.
Busiest in Québec City: June to September, the Winter Carnival in February, and the Christmas season in Old Québec. July to August: Festival d'été de Québec is the top summer event, so I set minimum stays for its days and hold the rest of the summer near peak. September to October: Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October. 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 Québec City: March to April and November. November to December: November is quiet, so I keep it simple and cheap, then lift prices again for the German Christmas Market and the holiday weeks in Old Québec. March to April: Snow melt and sugar-shack season bring local weekend trips only, so I lower floors, allow single nights and keep weekend minimums short.
Winter Carnival ignored and old Québec premium too small. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Québec City, 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 Québec City behave differently. Saint-Roch: A trendier neighbourhood below the cliff with restaurants and nightlife; I price it a step below Old Québec and target younger couples and festival visitors. Old Québec (Vieux-Québec) and Montcalm and the Plains of Abraham get their own treatment.
Old Québec and cruise calls, Christmas markets and Québec Winter Carnival are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Québec City. September to October: Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Québec City, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Québec City sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. September to October: Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October.
Whether winter parking and snow clearing are explained clearly, since guests driving from Montréal or New England often choose based on that alone in January and February. 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 Québec City I would start from January to February: The Winter Carnival fills the city for several weekends, so I price them as a block and keep weekdays steady for visitors coming to see the Hôtel de Glace. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Québec City.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
