Listen Later

In this week's episode, we dive into a highly effective strategy for increasing your rental income and enhancing guest satisfaction simultaneously. Discover how to capitalize on 'gap nights'—those unbookable days between reservations that often go unnoticed.

These gaps can easily become revenue losses if not managed wisely. But here's the good news: with a strategic approach, these very same gap nights can transform into additional income and even happier guests. This episode dives deep into practical ways to recognize, value, and fill these gaps, ensuring you're not leaving money on the table.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Learn what gap nights are and why they're a crucial aspect of your STR management strategy
  • Adjusting Minimum Stay Requirements
  • The Art of Offering Discounts
  • Explore how using dynamic pricing tools like Pricelabs and AI technologies such as bestie.ai can automate the process of identifying and filling gap nights
  • Guest Satisfaction & Reviews

It's clear that the power of gap nights, when harnessed correctly, can significantly contribute to both your STR's profitability and guest satisfaction.

Remember, it's all about staying proactive, flexible, and guest-focused. So take a moment to review your calendar for upcoming gap nights and start applying these strategies today.
