Date-Specific Promotional Pricing for Hospitable Direct

Problem Statement:

• Currently, Hospitable Direct doesn't support date-specific promotional pricing or coupons
• This prevents hosts from running gap-filling discounts similar to what's available on Airbnb
• Hosts would need to adjust PriceLabs or use workarounds to offer temporary discounts

Current Workaround:

• Running promotional pricing directly on Airbnb and managing it separately
• Adjusting PriceLabs settings to create temporary rate changes
• Manually updating prices for specific date ranges

Impact:

• Additional operational overhead managing pricing across multiple systems
• Missed opportunities to fill last-minute gaps in bookings
• Inconsistent pricing strategy between Airbnb and Direct bookings

Proposed Solution:

• Add a feature in Hospitable Direct that allows hosts to set promotional pricing or coupons for specific date ranges
• This would work independently of PriceLabs, giving hosts direct control over gap-filling discounts

Unlock:

• Hosts would be able to run targeted promotional campaigns on Direct bookings
• Easier gap-filling strategy without disrupting PriceLabs-managed pricing
• More flexibility to compete with Airbnb offers on Direct channels
