Any idea how we can lower the average price to get a fair crack of the whip?
OD average price killing business?

Our last minute May price is €699 week however guests (who don't put in dates) are being quoted €450 a day! Our Dutch & German guests are obviously running a mile....

That may not work any more. They change the formula all the time, but I think they ignore already booked dates or only look at prices 90 days in advance.PW in Polemi wrote:Put in a really low price for a period that you mark as unavailable/already booked....
As it's more and more difficult for people to search without giving their arrival and departure dates, it's not that important any more anyway.
Yes I agree that they're changing the formula.....I used to get around it by pricing the winter period really low as we don't rent out then. But that stopped working over a year ago.
I've also tried lowering booked periods but that doesn't work for me either. Also when I put in 2018 prices that had an effect too.
A tip.....if you have a special offer then put it in your 'headline'. It will be seen by anyone searching the list of properties.
I just sold one of my last week's by doing that.
