Price Labs (use this link for $10 off)
This is one app that has increased my revenue as a short-term rental host. Designed for property managers and owners, it uses algorithms to analyze real-time data, competitor pricing, and seasonal trends. By dynamically adjusting rates, PriceLabs aims to maximize revenue for vacation rentals.
Some of my rentals were not in the same city where I live. Running a business remotely can be challenging, but tech gadgets can make your experience as a rental owner and for your guests a lot smoother. Smart locks allow for remote access and your guests can self-check in. I had a real problem with parties and pets at one of my properties and I installed ring cameras and it stopped altogether. Party Squasher is also a great way to monitor if people are throwing unwanted parties in your space.
Tools for Airbnb Hosts
I have amassed a collection of tools that are in my Airbnb host toolbox. I have several label makers at each property and I use them all the time to help me stay organized in the kitchen, label light switches, and even some fun craft projects. The lint remover saves pilling fabric on pillow covers, blankets, and couches and helps to remove stubborn pet hair. The watermark remover has saved my dining room table a number of times. The ozone machine and odor Eliminator help you eliminate smells after you’ve had stinky guests. And the stain remover speaks for itself.
Printable Signs for Airbnb hosts
One way to easily communicate with your guests is through printed signs where you can leave messages on how your house is organized, where to find important things, and to answer important house questions your guests will ask you. So to avoid any back-and-forth messaging that could be solved with these printed signs, here are some of the ones I use on my rentals.
Happy Holidays to my fellow hosts, treat yourself to a game-changing goodie this year and increase your revenue next year.
