I found a post on Facebook where someone suggested that they're able to market an early, check into Guest at a discounted rate and I would like to figure out a way to implement this using on orez.
Easy way to bring in some additional earnings from current guests.
You might be surprised by how many people take you up on that offer! We automate these messages through our PMS system and just update the discounted rate as needed.
Here's an example of our messaging for this:
Hi Jordan,
Just wanted to let you know we have some extra availability in case you wanted to check in a night early at a 20% discount. Here are the details:
If you want to come earlier, we have an availability the night of Friday, April 5th. Standard rate $114/night. We'd offer it to you for $91/night.
Let me know if you're interested and look forward to hosting you!
Yep OwnerRez can already do this
I do it if there is a gap night after departure
this is an email - i send a channel message on Airbnb if there is a gap night
If there isn't a gap night it sends the normal checkout instructions
