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 Corpus Christi: Spring Break on South Padre Island; Summer beach season; Fishing tournaments; Winter Texan long stays. Guests I price for: Texas families on weekly summer stays, Spring Break groups, and winter long-stay retirees. Where I start: Spring Break premiums with minimum stays, weekly summer pricing, and monthly winter rate cards.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I build each Spring Break week as a custom event, set summer weekly stays, add fishing tournament dates for Port Aransas, and create monthly settings for winter, with rules that keep March group stays under control.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Corpus Christi.
