Daily Specific Rates: Day-of-Week Pricing
What Are Daily Specific Rates?
Daily Specific Rates is a feature that allows you to set different pricing for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday). This flexible pricing option enables you to charge different amounts based on demand patterns, such as higher rates for weekends and lower rates for weekdays.
For example, you can create a season for the month of December, and all of the days for that month will have their own set pricing.
Benefits of Daily Specific Rates
- Match pricing to demand: Charge more on traditionally busy days like weekends
- Create seasonal patterns: Adjust specific days during different times of year
- Optimize revenue: Increase rates on high-demand days while attracting guests with lower rates on typically slower days
