What to do in peak season
Around Mar, hold your rate and lengthen minimum stays. Every night you sell cheap in peak season is revenue you cannot recover later in the year.
Shoulder months
Shoulder demand is where most owners leave money behind. Drop minimum stays, open midweek gaps and let last-minute pricing do the work.
Sep and the slow season
With a 2.2× spread between best and worst month, a monthly or mid-term booking often beats chasing nightly stays in the trough.
