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.

VRBO could have stopped the robbery of my home, stealing of my identity, all my personal effects and faith in a fraudulent credit card but didnt. Below is what happened and how you can avoid it. My Condo!  VRBO accepted a reservation under the name and card of Wesley Munz (stolen credit card) by running the card through Yapstone payments who VRBO works exclusively with for ALL payment processing. VRBO showed me the payment was MADE and complete..  At 7am on the morning of expected checkin checkin an email hits my spam folder from Yapstone. I am very careful not to miss VRBO related communications so I have an email filter for all communications with VRBO Listing in the email. This Yapstone email has "VRBP Listing" a TYPO in the TITLE and body of the email?  The only email to eve...

Trashy Admission

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.
