Revenue Optimization Strategies

Pricing is the foundation of revenue optimization. SHD ensures you stay competitive with automated price adjustments based on market demand, seasonality, and booking trends.

A. Use Dynamic Pricing (Automated Adjustments)

✔ SHD HostDesk™ automatically adjusts pricing based on demand, events, and competitor rates.

💡 Tip: Dynamic pricing ensures you’re never underpricing or overpricing your rental.

B. Offer Custom Pricing for Different Stays

✔ Set higher rates for weekends and peak seasons.

✔ Offer weekly and monthly stay discounts to attract long-term guests.
