How to Maximize Revenue in Highly Seasonal Markets ft. Giovanni Molinari
In highly seasonal short-term rental markets, you don’t get unlimited chances to hit your revenue goals. Once your highest-demand weeks are gone, they’re gone. In this episode of RevLabs by PriceLabs, Kyle Driskell sits down with Giovanni Molinari , Co-Founder and Revenue Manager at eStay, which manages hundreds of properties across Sardinia, Italy, one of Europe’s most seasonal tourism markets. They break down how revenue strategy changes when a few critical months can make or break your year, and why successful seasonal revenue management goes far beyond adjusting prices. ✅ You’ll learn how to: Prepare your pricing strategy months before peak season begins Use booking pace and demand signals to know when the market is shifting Avoid selling your highest-value dates too early or too cheaply Adjust your strategy between peak, shoulder, and low seasons Use dynamic cancellation policies to protect revenue and capture last-minute demand Giovanni also explains why pricing is only one piece of the revenue management puzzle, and why every date’s value can change faster than most operators expect. Whether you manage properties in a highly seasonal destination or simply deal with major swings in demand throughout the year, this conversation will help you think differently about pricing, availability, cancellations, and risk.
