Problem Statement
- Hosts cannot view notes they added when making pricing changes or blocking specific nights after those dates have passed or been booked
- There's no way to review historical pricing decisions to understand what worked in previous seasons (e.g., what price successfully booked last summer)
- This makes it difficult to remember the reasoning behind past decisions when planning for future periods
Current Workaround
- Keeping separate notes in external tools like spreadsheets
- Trying to remember decisions manually without documented context
- Making new decisions without access to historical insights
Impact
- Takes extra time to maintain notes in separate systems
- Makes it more difficult to make informed current pricing and blocking decisions
- Prevents hosts from learning from past successful strategies and optimizing future pricing
Proposed Solution
Add the ability to view historical notes associated with pricing changes and blocked dates, even after those dates have passed or been booked. This would include a way to review what prices successfully resulted in bookings during comparable periods in previous years.
Unlock
Hosts would be able to:
- Quickly reference why they made specific pricing or blocking decisions in the past
- Compare current pricing strategies against what worked in previous seasons
- Make more informed, data-driven decisions without maintaining separate tracking systems
- Optimize pricing based on historical performance patterns
