Why The Airbnb 20% Discount Isn’t Worth It for new hosts
M
Summary
AI-generatedLydia Patel advises against automatically opting into the 20% discount promotion offered by Airbnb and VRBO for new listings. While it may seem like a quick way to gain visibility and bookings, new listings already receive an organic boost in search rankings. The discount could lead to a significant loss in revenue for not a significant benefit.
Key insights
Airbnb and VRBO offer a 20% discount promotion for the first three bookings when you're a new host or have a new listing.
Mistakes to avoid
Don't automatically opt into Airbnb/VRBO's 20% new listing discount. It's a common misconception that it's necessary for visibility when the platform already provides a boost.
