How do you set a different price for a known busy period

[Leonie141]

How do you set a different price for a period where you know the whole town gets booked out.  I have already received a booking for such a period.  I thought the smart pricing would pick it up but it hasn’t.  There are several events every year that I would like to take advantage of.

By changing the price manually in the listing calender for the desired dates.

you can change the price manually, as the previous answer said

don't do smart pricing, doesn't work most of the time

you can try Airbtics if you need any help with pricing, is a great tool for that!

@Leonie141   If you know when you are going to be booked out for local events, go into your calendar and manually change the pricing for those date spans.  Smart pricing is IMO "dumb" pricing, as it always suggested lower prices for prime weeks in my region.  I will wait for quality guests who are happy to rent my property on my terms, I don't gouge people or lower my prices just to get heads in beds.   Smart pricing wanted me booked at any price.
