I was speaking to a super host who helped me originally before I decided to Host , the conversation has ended, so I’m not able to get back with that same person, he told me there was a way to boost my ad for three months. How is that done?
@Lisa8912 it happens automatically when new listings are published. Not sure how long it lasts but dowry and get bookings in this timeframe and you will then stay near the top of the search list.
yeah, I see the options for first three bookings , But the super host told me there was a way to do it for three months any idea, and I accidentally took off that promotion trying to play with my discounts and can’t figure out how to turn it back on🙈
Hi @Lisa8912
I don't think the New Listing "Boost" lasts that long (3 months). Airbnb automatically gives you the boost in search results as a new listing as @Mike-And-Jane0 said.
I believe you can turn the 20% New Listing Discount back on by going to your calendar/pricing, scroll to the bottom and look for "new listing promotion". I would be careful not to leave your calendar open as far out as you have it though, as someone can book at that 20% discount during your busy season, holidays, etc. Your goal is to give the 20% discount for the first 3 bookings quickly. If you keep your calendar open for say 1yr, then all bets are off and any savvy guest can use that 20% discount for any date open like Memorial Day, 4th July, Labor Day, Christmas, New Years, etc. (you get the idea).
I usually suggest New Hosts turn off the 20% Airbnb New Listing promotion and manually discount their prices only on the dates they want. This prevents someone from booking a holiday at 20% off. I also advise they only open the calendar for a approx 3wks-1month or so until they get the 1st 3 bookings. After that 3rd review, you'll get your review stars to appear on the thumbnail photo. Then change your prices according to your competion after you get those 1st 3 bookings and open up the calendar as you like.
