Discounts are a key part of any rental property's price strategy, especially for those looking to extend their visitors' stays. A "Weekly and Monthly Discount" is a frequent name for this arrangement.
As a revenue management tool, you can now consolidate your discounting into one platform since the working idea here is that, when set in PriceLabs, we transmit these discounts to the PMS when generating a booking quote for stays of this duration (if the weekly and monthly duration are triggered when a guest is booking)
How do these discounts work?
👉🏼 Let's say someone has set a 20% monthly discount, we will send the usual daily rates to the Property Management System, and only if there is a reservation for more than the specified duration in PMS, a 20% discount will apply to the total amount of the daily rates. This can lead to an average daily rate after the discount is less than their minimum price in PriceLabs.
Reason: The discounts are applied on top of daily rates, and the net price can be lower than minimum
It totally depends on PMS how they use our weekly monthly discounts /discounted rates. For Tokeet as example, we push weekly & month discounted prices and tokeet prorate this price for a booking greater than 7 or 30 days.
