How To Massively Increase Booking Occupancy Levels Using Pricelabs

Too many SA owners take short bookings too far out, which often leads to them missing out on potential long bookings or are not upping their rates during high-demand periods e.g. local events.</p> <p dir="ltr">The step-by-step walkthrough of PriceLabs settings and advice Alex shares in this episode are vitally important for all serviced accommodation landlords. It will help you to keep your property full with the type of guests that make you the most profit.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Most hosts are currently not optimising their Airbnb booking calendars effectively, so are leaving money on the table.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">You should not be simply setting a rate, walking away and allowing every single customer to book at that rate, regardless of demand or whether events are taking place in your area.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">If you allow people to book just 2 nights months in advance when someone else wants a 4-week-long booking during that same period you miss out on big profits. You only get paid for 2 nights instead of 28.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Using dynamic pricing software like PriceLabs enables you to control minimum stay lengths.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">When set up properly PriceLabs will put your prices up at historically busy times of the year and do so on autopilot.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">To get the most out of software like PriceLabs you have to understand your customer avatar e.g. how far out they are likely to book.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Closing your calendar after 90+ days out reduces the chances of a customer cancelling on you.</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><strong>BEST MOMENTS</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>“This is really important, and to be quite honest, I was quite shocked to find out just how many people on optimizing their calendars. ”</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>“The goal is the same. It's to fill your calendar with the right booking so not only keep your property occupied but most importantly, they also bring in the most profit ”</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>“We found a balance between filling our calendar with both short and long stays, while also prioritizing much longer bookings.”</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>“You can customize your settings based on your own guest avatar.”</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>“The great thing about Price Labs is that it's so flexible. There are so many things you can do.”</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>EPISODE RESOURCES</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">https://hello.pricelabs.co/</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>HOST BIOS</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years.</p> <p dir="ltr">This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’</p> <p dir="ltr">Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.</p>

At the age of 30, she has already flipped 12 properties, with another 3 in the pipeline, and has done this in just 6 years.</p> She explains how she flips properties quickly, finances her purchases, and succeeds in business despite dyslexia. Because of the way she researches each potential deal, Emma can predict within a 2% margin how much each flip will make. During the episode, she shares her exact process.</p> <strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> •    You don´t need as much equity as you think to get started.<br />•    It is not too late to get started with flipping UK properties. Emma explains how.<br />•    Emma built her property business while holding down a corporate job.<br />•    Research and knowing the area is essential for accurately calculating the return for each project.<br />•    Get quotes from 3 or 4 trades, question them in depth and do your own costings.<br />•    Build your brand online, when people know your work you get more out of networking and attract investors.</p> <strong>BEST MOMENTS</strong></p> <em>“6 weeks later … we had added about £40 grand worth of equity from a £10 grand investment. ”</em><br /><em>“Where there's turbulent times, there's always an opportunity in property.”</em></p> <br /><strong>GUEST BIO</strong></p> Emma has built a successful property-flipping business in her hometown of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. After renovating her own properties in 2019 & 2020 and starting with just £20,000, Emma quickly got the property bug and decided a year later to leave her corporate career behind her to pursue creating luxury high-spec family homes in her local area. </p> To date, Emma has flipped 12 properties with another three in the current pipeline and has raised over £2million from angel investors. Emma's second year of trading amounted to a turnover of over £1 million with a net profit of six figures. </p> In December last year, Emma was crowned Young Property Investor of the Year 2023.

Financial Freedom in Under 5 Years Using Property Investments with Jack Smith

Meet Tokeet Channel Manager, your ultimate all-in-one property management solution. It’s the game changer designed to boost your profits while simplifying every aspect of your operations. Join 60,000 rentals across 95 countries who trust Tokeet. Click below and discover Tokeet - the business partner you never knew you were missing!<br />Link: https://www.tokeet.com/?ref=ztfjzgj<br /> <br /><strong>THE AIRBNB CONSULTANT - CONTACT US</strong><br /> https://calendly.com/airbnbconsultant/15min </p> <br /><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong><br />For this episode, Alex is joined by another young and inspiring entrepreneur - Jack Smith who started investing in property about 5 years ago. Today, at the age of 27 he has flipped numerous houses and built up a large portfolio of properties. He also sources and sells deals to other developers and is in the process of creating a luxury HMO portfolio. All while sharing his knowledge via social media and other free to access materials.</p> <br /><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> Try to make your first deal a joint venture that you do alongside someone with experience.<br />Education is essential. It is the starting point.<br />Even though it is tough, push yourself to network to find partners and people you can learn from.<br />If you do quit your day job, do it at the right stage.<br />Leverage social media to build your brand, attract investors and make it easier to change direction and monetise your business in multiple ways.<br />Focus on motivated sellers that need to sell to solve urgent problems.<br />Doing a deal that helps the buyer makes sense for both parties e.g. buy fast before repossession and help them to move into rented accommodation. Win wins work.<br />If a property is not suitable you can still earn something by selling the details on to another developer that does want it. Deal packaging works.<br />There is huge demand for HMO rooms especially at the luxury end of the market.<br />It is now possible to use individual electricity meters for each room, which helps to control HMO power bills.<br /><br /></p> <strong>BEST MOMENTS</strong></p> “I thought there was a lot more complexity to flipping a house, and I was actually surprised at how simple it was.”<br />“Just off that one video, 1000 investors signed up to our email list.”<br />“Education is the starting point. If you're not educated, if you don't know what you're doing, or at least what you could be doing, what's the point?”<br /><br /></p> EPISODE RESOURCES<br />https://www.jack-smith.co.uk<br />https://www.youtube.com/@jackdavidsmith</p> https://rightval.com</p>  </p> <strong>HOST BIOS</strong></p> Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years.</p> This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’</p> Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.</p>  </p>
