However, attracting mid-term guests can be challenging, and requires a different approach than hosting short-term guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we&#8217;ll share the best strategy for attracting mid-term stays on Airbnb. From pricing to amenities, we&#8217;ll provide expert tips and advice to help you create a home-away-from-home experience that keeps guests coming back. So, let&#8217;s get started and discover how to maximize your rental potential with mid-term stays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Strategy for Attracting Mid-Term Stays<\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Set Competitive Pricing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When aiming to attract any length of booking, you need to focus on your pricing. Your pricing should be competitive and fair. Without making use of a competitive analysis tool, like DPGO, knowing how your competitors are pricing their listings and what amenities they are offering.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-term guests are often looking for a cost-effective alternative to traditional apartments or extended stays at hotels. Consider offering discounted rates for stays that are longer than a week or a month. This will not only attract mid-term guests but also encourage longer stays, which can increase your revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Provide Fully Furnished Units<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key factor in attracting mid-term bookings is providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodgify.com\/blog\/furnishing-vacation-rental\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fully furnished<\/a> units. Mid-term guests are often looking for the convenience of a hotel with the amenities of an apartment. By providing fully furnished units, you eliminate the need for guests to bring their own furniture, which can be a hassle. Additionally, providing amenities such as a kitchen, washing machine, and other home comforts will make guests feel more at home during their stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460.jpg\" alt=\"Best Strategy for Attracting Mid-Term Stays 1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-175x113.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-450x289.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vecislavas-popa-1571460-1170x752.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Highlight Amenities and Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To attract mid-term guests, it\u2019s important to highlight the amenities and services that your property offers. This could include things like a fitness center, pool, laundry service, or a concierge. Mid-term guests often value convenience and access to amenities, so make sure to showcase what sets your property apart from others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Offer Flexible Lease Terms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main benefits of mid-term bookings is the flexibility they offer. Guests may not want to commit to a long-term lease, but they also don\u2019t want to be tied down to a specific end date. Offering flexible lease terms, such as month-to-month leases, can make your property more attractive to guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Target the Right Audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To attract mid-term guests, it\u2019s important to target the right audience. This could include business travelers, digital nomads, or people relocating to a new city. Consider marketing your property through channels that these groups are likely to use, such as LinkedIn or travel blogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Build Relationships with Local Companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another strategy for attracting mid-term stays is to build relationships with local companies. This could include offering corporate rates or partnering with local businesses to offer discounts to their employees. By building these relationships, you can tap into a steady stream of guests who are traveling for work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4793 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588.jpg\" alt=\"Best Strategy for Attracting Mid-Term Stays 2\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-175x98.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5912588-1170x658.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Provide Excellent Customer Service<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, providing excellent customer service is crucial for attracting mid-term guests. These stays often require more attention to detail and personalized service than traditional hotel stays. By providing excellent customer service, you can create a positive experience for guests, which can lead to repeat business and referrals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, attracting mid-term bookings requires a combination of competitive pricing, fully furnished units, highlighting amenities and services, flexible lease terms, targeted marketing, building relationships with local companies, and providing excellent customer service. By implementing these strategies, you can create a successful mid-term stay business that attracts a steady stream of guests and increases your revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/app\/en\/account\/register\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=sign_up_banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2.png\" alt=\"**Dynamic Pricing Tool for Airbnb Hosts\" width=\"1200\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-175x85.png 175w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-450x218.png 450w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-1170x566.png 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mid-term stays, typically ranging from a few weeks to a few months, can provide a steady stream of income and offer a more stable rental experience compared to shorter bookings.
