This video explains how to fix empty nights on your Airbnb calendar by focusing on flexibility rather than visibility. It covers strategies like setting occupancy targets based on booking lead time, optimizing calendar settings, and leveraging pet-friendly policies to increase bookings and revenue.

Key insights

  • Adjacent factor discounts can automatically lower prices for nights before or after existing reservations, encouraging guests to book these previously awkward dates.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Having a fixed minimum stay (e.g., 2 nights) can create 'orphan nights' (unbookable single nights between reservations), leading to vacancies. This can be fixed with dynamic pricing tools.
