    How to Maximize Revenue in Highly Seasonal Markets ft. Giovanni Molinari

    In highly seasonal short-term rental markets, you don’t get unlimited chances to hit your revenue goals. Once your highest-demand weeks are gone, they’re gone.

They break down how revenue strategy changes when a few critical months can make or break your year, and why successful seasonal revenue management goes far beyond adjusting prices. ✅ You’ll learn how to: Prepare your pricing strategy months before peak season beginsUse booking pace and demand signals to know when the market is shiftingAvoid selling your highest-value dates too early or too cheaplyAdjust your strategy between peak, shoulder, and low seasonsUse dynamic cancellation policies to protect revenue and capture last-minute demand Giovanni also explains why pricing is only one piece of the revenue management puzzle, and why every date’s value can change faster than most operators expect.

    How Listing Content Quietly Kills Your OTA Ranking ft. Kyle Driskell

    Two listings. Same market, same pricing strategy. One scores 9.9/10 in ranking. The other barely clears 6.9. The difference isn't price, it's what OTA algorithms actually reward: accurate, high-quality listing content. In this session, Kyle Driskell walks through PriceLabs' Listing Optimizer tool and what it reveals across real property case studies — from a top-ranked Myrtle Beach rental to a Chicago studio getting buried in search. Only 9% of listings currently have high-quality content, yet properties with optimized content are 38% more likely to outperform their market. This episode shows exactly where the gaps usually hide: titles, photos, descriptions, and the amenity boxes hosts forget to check. Key Takeaways: Revenue management goes beyond pricing — visibility and merchandising matter just as muchOnly 9% of listings have high-quality contentPrimary photo choice can make or break click-throughMissing amenity checkboxes can quietly hurt algorithmic ranking To learn more, visit https://hello.pricelabs.co/enterprise/ Join RevLabs Newsletter and get curated insights from Kyle, featuring the best podcast conversations, market trends, upcoming live sessions, and practical trainings to help you grow as a revenue manager: https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/NaBB1dThinking of giving it a try?
