Changing your price based
on supply and demand

Why is this important?
@beyondpricing

Because Demand Changes. A Lot.

What Happens When You Don’t Vary
Your Prices
• Host #1 - $140/night – Chronic Under Pricer
• She will be filled 95% of the time and excited about her high
occupancy
• Host #2 - $180/night – Average Jane
• She is excited because she is filled from March-October and
thinks winters are just “slow”
• Host #3 - $220/night – Occasional Olivia
• Her calendar is usually open, except for big events which are
booked months in advance

Dynamic Pricing Helps in 2 Ways
1. By lowering your price when
demand is low, you can
increase your occupancy
2. By increasing your price when
demand is high, you can
increase your average nightly

Two Implications of the Booking Curve
1. Tells You What Percent of Demand is Still Left
Allows you to know whether and when to discount
2. Tells You Whether You’re Booking Up Too Quickly
If you are, chances are you can increase your average
nightly rate, or “Base Price”
