This is a nebulous and ignorant question, but here goes....
Comicon week-end just passed and was very good to me.
After 2 years of being a host, I have come to realize there are popular times that can make my year profitable.
Comicon, graduation, Sakuracon, Doda II.
How do I find lists of these events? OR even better, how can I find expected Hotel rates and occupancy rates?
I imagine hotels guard this proprietary information dearly. On the other hand, future pricing can be found simply manually reserving a date.
Note, I do use smart pricing as a guide. While I don't use their prices, I use it to discover higher priced days and then set my own prices.
Hi @Paul154 - there's a site called Event 12 that has events in a city for every month of the year. Here, for instance, is May in Seattle: https://www.events12.com/seattle/may/
I don't know if you'll find it useful or not, but it's a start!
A question for you: when you look at the smart prices, then set your own, do you go higher or lower?
Cheers,
Ann
Thanks for that very helpful guide. I will direct guests to this site .
I always price higher that Airbnb smart pricing. Much higher and I still am in the middle of the competition.
@Paul154 you might also consider pricing software that does this for you. FWIW, I'm really happy with usewheelhouse.com. They charge a small commission on bookings but in my experience the increased revenue makes it worthwhile.
It has still not come to my area 😞
