Add-ons for listings

[Michael8802]

Is there a way to add on a feature or sell an additional service on a rental listing? 

I own a mobile IV company and a lot of our business is done at Airbnb listings in Phoenix AZ when people have bachelor parties, weddings etc. 

I’m trying to figure out if these services can be offered for the listing individual as a package deal. We could split profit for pre orders and offer the service at check out. 

Any thoughts or advice on where to go with this ?

Hi @Michael8802 👋

Thank you so much for taking the time to ask your question. It's been a little while since you posted so I'd like to invite @Helen3, @Bronwyn100 and @Marina481 to see if they can support you with an answer. 😊

Hey @Michael8802

Airbnb actually realized this awhile back that local services tended to sell with rentals and created Airbnb Experiences. I just saw on the article though that they may have 'rebranded' them to be Airbnb Adventures? In any case, really gets your service out and automatically advertises it to your guests and guests staying at Airbnb's near you! Not sure if that would fit for what you offer but you can check out the requirements here: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1451

Thanks @Rebecca for the shoutout!

Hi @Marina481, 

Thanks so much for helping out @Michael8802. Airbnb Adventures are slightly different to Experiences though.  Airbnb Adventures launched ~4 years ago and is a way for guests to book multi-day adventures with local experts. You can read more about Airbnb Adventures here. https://news.airbnb.com/en-in/introducing-airbnb-adventures/ So that could be an option for @Michael8802. 

At the moment, Experiences are still paused but we will keep our eyes open for any information relating to Experiences, and share it here. 😊

some clarification needed...

1~ Mobile IV company ? As in, medical infusions ?

2~ Rentals on Airbnb can't have large group gatherings/parties, it's against the rules.

What is the service you want to offer and is it to be listed with your rental property ?

[Michael8802]

1- mobile IV infusion. Paramedic or nurse drives to your location and delivers an iv infusion of vitamins/minerals and sometimes nausea meds.

2- large groups aren’t the goal. Think small groups of 4-8. The idea would be to have renters add this service as an option to

their property. It’s very popular in the Phoenix area. A group of guys  go to a large Airbnb, have a party or gathering of some sort and want an IV infusion to feel better and keep partying. 

[Cheri354]

Partying via Airbnb is against the TOS for hosts and guests. As you'd be encouraging groups to continue to party or at least massively drink, this doesn't sound like a feasible/legal business plan for anyone.

If you want hosts to promote your services you would need to reach out to hosts you've identified as your target market to see if this is something they might want to offer their guests . @Michael8802 

Airbnb doesn't allow parties or weddings .

you say a lot of your business is done at Airbnbs how do guests find out about your service ?
