Seasonal pricing
-
Understand guests' booking preferences by analyzing their purchasing behavior, add-on preferences, and price sensitivity. For instance, families tend to book in advance, plan longer trips, and are restricted to school holidays. Adjust pricing for family-friendly RVs at least 8 months in advance and consider school holidays.
-
Stay informed about market conditions, seasonal demand patterns, competitor pricing, and economic factors. High season, such as July to September for Outdoorsy, experiences high demand, allowing for a price increase of 5 to 15%. Capitalize on high-demand periods like long weekends or local events by adjusting prices accordingly.
-
During low season, when demand is low, decrease prices to attract price-sensitive guests and maximize rental income. Offering lower prices benefits guests and ensures RV occupancy and revenue.
Minimum nights
Renting out an RV involves a significant investment of time and resources, such as cleaning, maintenance, and communication with guest. By setting a minimum night requirement, you can ensure that your efforts are being used efficiently by renting your RV for a longer period of time
Length of stay
with the length of stay pricing rule option you can offer an incentive for guests to extend their booking for a reduced price or encourage them to book longer stays to be eligible for the discounted weekly or monthly rate.
