Is there a limit on how many promotions you can run?

I have been using promotions regularly to get my place booked at a higher percentage.  Now I see it says "one promotion available" on my calendar.  Is there a limit on how many you can run in a specific time frame?  searched help and discussions - but don't see it anywhere.

 

Thanks!

@Meri417  I think that 1 promotion available indicates that there is only one time period identified by AirBnB as promotable that you have not taken as an opportunity.  I.e., all other time periods are already promoted.  

 

To my knowledge, there is no limit on how many promotions you can run, but I do have a question.  If you are running all available promotions to get a higher booking percentage, might you need to look over your overall pricing strategy?   It sounds like you are always offering a discount…much like Walmart. 

From my understanding - it raises you up in the algorhythm.  I wait until I have random days between guests - I get a lot of weekend bookings at regular price - and then use the promotion to fill the days midweek.  

 

But - yeah - like Walmart a bit (I guess) - and their "rollback" pricing.  I'm booked pretty consistently - and I'm not in a tourist area - so it's working.  Check the "benefits" when you offer a promotion - they promote you in an email if you give a 20 percent discount.
