Slow Season

[Kimberly893]

Bookings have been slow since the beginning of September. Is anyone else experiencing this? I keep applying discounts but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any suggestions?

Yes, traditionally Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec (except Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's) is generally slow in most markets.

- You can try and use Custom Promotions to get more "eyes" on your listing and discount prices. Just remember that other discounts like early bird and last minute will "stack" on a custom promotion.

- You can use this time to get professional photos done (if you haven't already) and make upgrades to the interior of the listing.

- You can encourage longer stays by offering discounts for longer stays
