As a short term rental host, I'm always looking for ways to boost occupancy and fill those pesky gaps in my bookings.    That's why I've mastered the art of the "Perfect Fit Discount," where I entice guests to book multiple consecutive nights with a special discount.    I also use the "neighbor discount" to fill specific days before or after an existing booking.    And when it comes to last-minute bookings, I offer discounts that get bigger the closer it gets to the arrival date.    But my secret weapon?    Being active on my listing.    By adjusting prices, photos, and headlines regularly, I show the Airbnb algorithm that I'm a pro at this and attract more bookings.    Trust me, analyzing data and understanding my numbers is key to making smart decisions about pricing and occupancy.
