How can I update my pricing & seasons?

Managing your rental prices and seasonal rates is essential for maximizing your earnings on Holidu. This guide will walk you through the process of updating your pricing and defining your seasonal periods.

Understanding pricing on Holidu

Holidu allows you to set flexible pricing based on seasons and demand. Your pricing is displayed in your property's local currency, which is automatically determined by your property location. You cannot manually change the currency for your listing.

How to update your pricing and seasons

Step 1: Access your pricing settings

1. Log in to your Holidu host dashboard
2. Navigate to your property management section
3. Select the property for which you want to update pricing
4. Look for the "Pricing" or "Pricing & Seasons" tab

Step 2: Define your seasons

Create seasonal periods to organize your pricing strategy throughout the year:

• Click on "Add Season" or "Create New Season"
• Enter the season name (for example, "Summer Peak," "Winter," or "Off-Season")
• Select the start and end dates for this season
• Set your nightly rate for this period
• Save your season

Step 3: Set your nightly rates

For each season you've created, enter your desired nightly rate. Your pricing will be displayed in your property's local currency. Remember that this currency is fixed based on your property location and cannot be changed manually.

Consider these factors when setting your rates:

• Local market demand and seasonal trends
• Your property's amenities and location
• Competitor pricing in your area
• Your annual revenue goals

Step 4: Review and confirm

Before finalizing your changes:

1. Review all seasonal periods and their corresponding rates
2. Check for any overlapping dates
3. Verify that your pricing reflects your business strategy
4. Save and publish your updates

Important information about currency

Your property's pricing currency is automatically set based on your property's location. You cannot manually select or change the currency when setting your prices. All rates must be entered in your property's default local currency.

Best practices for pricing strategy

Optimize your earnings by following these pricing strategies:

• Seasonal adjustments: Increase rates during peak travel seasons and reduce them during slower periods
• Regular updates: Review and adjust your pricing quarterly or when market conditions change
• Competitive analysis: Monitor similar properties in your area to stay competitive
• Advance planning: Set your seasons and rates well in advance so guests can book ahead
• Special events: Consider creating special seasonal rates around local events or holidays

Editing your existing pricing and seasons

You can modify your pricing at any time:

1. Go to your property's pricing settings
2. Select the season you want to edit
3. Update the dates, name, or nightly rate as needed
4. Save your changes

Changes to future seasons take effect immediately. If you modify rates for dates with existing bookings, those reservations maintain their original booking price.

Common pricing questions

Can I set different prices for weekends?

You can create different seasons to account for weekend demand. Set up separate seasonal periods or use specific date ranges to establish different pricing for weekends versus weekdays.

What happens to existing bookings when I change prices?

Existing bookings retain their original booking price. Price changes only apply to future, unbookable dates.

How often should I update my pricing?

Review your pricing at least quarterly, or more frequently if you notice significant changes in market demand or competitor pricing.
