Hi @Glenda119 ,
I have an airbnb in Christchurch and have been thinking a similar thing.
I have ended up reducing my price per night and used the promotions to give 20% off which is a great advertising tool. You get your listing on an email, strike through so it looks like a bargain to potential guests, special callout and a price breakdown for guests. We found doing this has increased our bookings. Have a look at mine for Nov to see what you think? It is annoying not having any other marketing.

Thinking of you in Auckland.
Take care,
Steph
