Blocking Off Days to Create Demand

For many hosts the sound of blocking days to get more bookings may sound counterintuitive however when done correctly it creates scarcity and in turn increases demand for your listing through both social validation and limited availability. This is a guaranteed way to increase the ADR (Average Daily Rate) on your listings.  Without experience in A/B testing and vigilance in oversight this method can absolutely lose you money.

Odd Requests  Guests have odd requests but a properly delivered odd request will bring you the best review you have ever gotten! See special requests as an opportunity to write your own review.   "Please provide a picture of a dog dresses as a boat captain and place it on my bed, thank you"  "Hey, can you make me a fort?" "Please make me a very big swan towel" "If you could please draw a picture of what you think I look like and place it on my bed I would appreciate it."  "Every time we go in a hotel we ask for a picture of a horse saying 'hello' and someone FINALLY DID IT!"

Trashy Admission

  The trash thing is the downfall of the majority of HOA community airbnbs. Ive tried hiring people to drive the loop each trash night, I've tried hiring a neighbor to take it out and back for $20 per week and had ok results. I've even thought of a share economy app i'd call Curbie. Ive tried hiring people off Offerup and craigslist who claim trash and waste disposal. Looked into the extra pickup per week service on the official waste management website as well as frequently getting extra bins to the home. Of course we put stickers on the trash bin, in the welcome book and even direct airbnb messages, text messages, phone calls. The housekeepers are supposed to upload the photos of each room and trash bins.  Even with all this and my personally driving to some they don't make it out or don't make it in. Id say only 5% of people tie trash bags. Missed for a week or two and its offensive. Morning walkers catch on quick to the static olfact...
