Having a property listed at Airbnb is a great way to earn money from any place you own. The most important thing is for you to consider the value of improving your Airbnb in order to increase your profit and ensure that short term rental is a truly beneficial business.
The following tips will prove to be extremely helpful if you want to boost the appeal and value of your Airbnb rental.
Allow people to bring their pets
This may seem like something that is not so relevant, but many of your guests would love to be able to bring their pets with them to an Airbnb. We are not saying you should allow people to bring just any type of animal they want, but anything reasonable like a dog or a cat should be ok. If you are worried about a mess, just make sure to create a book with rules and regulations that people should follow if they decide to bring pets to your property. Most pet owners are going to be delighted to have this option.
Give people substantial discounts during low seasons
There are some seasons when people are going to experience a low number of bookings, but this is the perfect opportunity to lower the price of your rental. Don’t forget that making some money is always better than making no money during any given season. It’s always a good idea to advertise those discounts as much as possible.
Allow one-night books
Some people simply want to have a place to stay for one night and many Airbnb listings don’t provide this type of service. By allowing affordable one night stays, you are going to see a huge increase in bookings. There are many executives and travellers who are going to find single night stays to be exactly what they need. Booking single nights at around $100 is going to be a great way to increase your profit each year.
Check your account daily
Always be on the lookout for any enquiries regarding your property. The faster you reply, the more chances of being the one that people choose. Be sure to log in every day at least 3 times. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once late at night. Active members are always going to get better results.
Provide instant booking options
Some Airbnb owners are too worried about being able to guarantee the safety of their property and they lose many potential guests with tedious protocols. The faster you can make this process for people, the easier it will be for you to get more of them to book. You would be surprised to find out just how many people are not booking some Airbnb options they like because the owners are making them jump through never ending hurdles.
Hire a good Airbnb management agency
If you feel like you don’t want to be dealing with the many headaches of running this kind of business, just hire the services of a good Airbnb rental management. This is going to be extremely helpful when you are looking to boost the business without having to do the tedious work.
Final thoughts
