The Journey into Short-Term Rentals and Pricing Automation

Today’s expert guest is Monique DeLorenzo, a host who was eager to dive deeper into the financials of our great industry. In addition to hosting her cute Vermont a-frame property, she’s also a solutions consultant with PriceLabs, a revenue management tool for hosts and property managers that provides users with dynamic pricing and market insights.

We use PriceLabs and were inspired to email Monique as soon as the Airbnb winter release became public, to see if she had any insight on the cleaning fee changes and how one might best leverage our new parameters in that area to maintain, or even boost, revenue.

She covers that and so much more in this super deep dive on dynamic pricing. You don’t want to miss this one as you set your goals and expectations for the new year and beyond.
