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 Stavanger: the Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) hike above the Lysefjord; the daredevil Kjeragbolten boulder; the white timber lanes of Gamle Stavanger and the Petroleum Museum; the Nuart street-art festival and the energy sector's business travel. Guests I price for: Summer fjord hikers and cruise visitors alongside weekday energy-industry business guests staying near the old town and harbour. Where I start: Layering a summer hiking peak onto a resilient corporate weekday base, using event and conference weeks to lift rate, within Norway's ordinary-letting tax framework.
I set up your pricing tool with conference weeks, summer hiking dates and Gladmat as dated premiums, plus weekly and monthly rates for engineers and project staff. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo then follow one set of rules for stays and fees.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Stavanger.
