Hello and welcome to the Airbnb hosting journey! No worries about the promotion—it's a common question for new hosts. Unfortunately, once the "New Listing" promotion is removed, it can’t be re-added. But you have some great options to attract those first few bookings without it.
Try setting a slightly lower price in the beginning to draw guests and get some initial reviews. This often works as well as a promotion because guests are always on the lookout for great new listings at competitive prices. Also, consider turning on the Smart Pricing tool, which can help keep your rates competitive based on local demand and similar listings.
To maximize your listing’s appeal, make sure your photos are high-quality and that your description highlights the best features of your place—mention what makes it unique, any amenities that guests love, and things to do nearby. Personal touches and clear communication will also set you apart and help attract your first guests.
As you get those first few bookings and reviews, you’ll be able to adjust prices and create custom discounts. With a little patience and attention to detail, you’ll be off to a great start! Happy hosting!
