How can I update my pricing & seasons?

Managing your property's pricing and seasonal rates is essential for maximizing your rental income on Holidu. This guide walks you through the process of updating your pricing and defining your seasons.

Understanding Pricing and Seasons

Before you begin updating your rates, it's helpful to understand how pricing and seasons work together on Holidu. Seasons allow you to organize your calendar into different periods, and you can set specific prices for each season. This flexibility helps you maximize earnings during high-demand periods and attract guests during slower seasons.

How to Update Your Pricing

Follow these steps to update your nightly rates on Holidu:

1. Log in to your Holidu account
2. Navigate to your property management dashboard
3. Select the property you want to update
4. Look for the pricing or rates section
5. Enter your desired nightly rate
6. Save your changes

Your new pricing will take effect immediately for future bookings. Existing reservations will not be affected by price changes.

How to Create and Manage Seasons

Seasons allow you to organize different pricing periods throughout the year. Here's how to set them up:

1. Access your property settings in your Holidu account
2. Find the seasons section
3. Click to create a new season
4. Give your season a descriptive name (for example, "Summer Peak," "Winter," or "Spring")
5. Set the start and end dates for the season
6. Define the nightly rate for this specific season
7. Save your season

You can create multiple seasons to reflect different pricing strategies throughout the year. For example, you might set higher rates during summer months and lower rates during winter months.

Important Information About Currency

When setting your prices on Holidu, please note that you cannot choose the type of currency. The currency for your property pricing is automatically determined by your property's location and your account settings. Make sure you're aware of your currency before entering your rates to avoid pricing errors.

Tips for Effective Pricing Strategy

Consider these recommendations when updating your pricing and seasons:

• Research similar properties in your area to ensure competitive pricing
• Adjust rates based on local events, holidays, and peak tourism seasons
• Use lower rates during off-season periods to attract more bookings
• Update your prices regularly to respond to market demand
• Plan your seasons well in advance for better revenue management

Common Questions About Pricing Updates

When do pricing changes take effect?

Pricing changes on Holidu take effect immediately for all new bookings going forward. Any existing reservations will maintain their original booking price.

Can I set different prices for weekdays and weekends?

You can manage weekday and weekend pricing by creating separate seasons or by manually adjusting your rates. Check your property settings for available pricing customization options.

How often should I update my pricing?

There's no set requirement for how often you update your pricing. However, regularly reviewing and adjusting your rates based on demand, season, and market conditions will help you maximize your rental income.

What if I want to block dates without offering them at any price?

You can block specific dates on your calendar to prevent bookings during those periods. This is different from pricing adjustments and can be managed through your calendar settings.

• Ensure you're logged into the correct property account
• Check that all required fields are filled in correctly
• Confirm that your season dates don't overlap with other seasons
