Revenue Management, Turn empty nights into bookings

Yes. If you use automatic optimisation with a minimum price, combined discounts are taken off afterwards and can still bring the selling price below it. A weekly discount plus a last-minute discount, for example, adds up. Set your minimum price and your discounts together, so the lowest possible price is one you're happy with.

20% off the first bookings of a new listing: 3, 6 or 9 in total (6 by default), at most 2 per booking platform, for up to six months. While it runs, it's the only discount that applies, so it never stacks with others. It helps a new home collect its first bookings and reviews quickly; you can pause it at any time.

From local market data, looking 14 months ahead. You switch the protection on per discount and choose whether only peak nights are excluded, or peak and high-demand nights. It works with weekly, early bird and mobile discounts, so your busiest dates sell at your full price while quieter nights still get the help of a discount.

Yes. Flexible, Moderate (5 or 14 days), Firm and Strict can be configured per channel, so you can match what guests on each platform expect. You might offer a more flexible policy where guests compare many homes and want to book without risk, and keep a stricter one elsewhere. Your Holidu account shows which policy applies where.

New Listing, Early Bird, Last-Minute, Weekly, Mobile, Loyalty, Non-Refundable and Direct Booking. You decide which ones run and how much each one gives. New homes start with the New Listing and Last-Minute discounts switched on; you can change or turn off any of them at any time in your Holidu account.

The shortest number of nights a guest can book, set per season, for example seven nights in August and two in November. If you allow shorter stays, guests can book fewer nights and still pay your full minimum-stay price, so you don't lose income on a short booking but don't turn the guest away either.

Free nights between two bookings, often too few for your usual minimum stay. Switch on flexible stays to open them to stays of 1 to 3 nights, so they get booked instead of staying empty. You can also charge up to 50% more for those nights if you like, to cover the extra changeover.

Flexible, Moderate (5 or 14 days), Firm and Strict are available, set per channel. A flexible policy gives hesitant guests a reason to book, because they can cancel without losing money. A stricter one protects you from late cancellations in your busiest weeks. You can also mix them: flexible where it helps win bookings, firmer where demand is high.

Yes. Check-in rules are part of your booking conditions and can differ by season, for example Saturday arrivals in high summer and any day the rest of the year. Keep them as open as you can outside the busiest weeks: every day guests can't arrive is a day your home can't be booked from.

No. New homes start with sensible settings, including the New Listing and Last-Minute discounts, and the protection for your best nights uses local market data. You review everything before you publish and can change any discount, minimum stay or cancellation policy whenever you like. Your local team can help you choose.
