We know how important it is for you to maximize your booking opportunities and fill your calendar. Holidu offers two effective tools that help you achieve just that: the Last Minute Discount feature and the Last Minute Minimum Stay adjustment. These tools are crafted to increase your last-minute bookings based on current market trends and guest behaviors.

What is the Last Minute Discount Feature?

Why use this feature?

The Last Minute Discount feature provides personalized suggestions to help you offer the right discount at the perfect time. These recommendations consider aspects like demand and booking patterns in similar properties. This way, you can enhance your competitiveness without compromising your pricing strategy.

Where to Find It:

• Opportunities Tab: Explore potential bookings by viewing smart recommendations.
• Holidu Dashboard Homepage: Look for property-specific tags indicating where recommendations are available.

Remember, these suggestions don't change your current settings unless you decide to adopt them.

What is the Last Minute Minimum Stay Feature?

Why Use this Feature?

Sometimes, properties remain vacant close to the check-in date because the minimum stay is too lengthy. This feature lets you reduce the minimum stay at the last moment, inviting short-stay guests and improving occupancy rates without manually adjusting your regular settings.

How It Works:

• The system automatically selects the shorter minimum stay between your configured setting and the smart suggestion.
• Your advance notice rules remain intact.
• Check-in and check-out limitations are temporarily lifted to facilitate short-notice bookings.
• Only unsold dates just around the corner are impacted, thereby minimizing empty slots.

To enable this feature, navigate to the Pricing tab under Flexible Conditions.

Where to Activate These Features?

Homepage Dashboard: Receive alerts with property-specific tags for easy action.

Opportunities Tab: Find actionable insights for both discounts and minimum stay changes.

Pricing Tab (Flexible Conditions): Easily toggle and configure the Last Minute Minimum Stay feature.
