How to get more weekday bookings

[Kyara5]

Hi, I’m always getting weekend bookings now. What can I do differently to get weekday bookings?

@Kyara5  I  currently reduce Sunday price. Monday is the lowest and then take it up each day. Saturday is my dearest day. These days were rarely booked in winter. But they are being taken up for summer. 

I think you will find most hosts experience this.

Thank you @Laurelle3

Hi @Kyara5, I am reaching out to @Dawn241, one of our experienced Hosts, to ask if she would like to share her discount strategy with you. Would it perhaps work to increase bookings during the weekdays?

Thank you @Paula  yes that would help a lot!

@Kyara5 Do a last minute discount each week for any days you want booked- weekdays or weekend. Ex. I live in my 2nd home Sunday/mon/Tues nights for a part time job. If I’m not already booked for the upcoming weekend, I do a 20%  discount for Wed/thur/fri/sat nights. I have a 2 night minimum. Because of this I’ve been booked 4 weekends in a row.  Some money is better than no money. Repeat this each week, one week at a time, not in advance. Last minute.
