Activate Airbnb Promotions from Channel PRO
Boost your new advertisements on Airbnb with automatic promotions and increase their visibility from day one.
When you create a new advertisement on Airbnb, the first few days are crucial. The sooner you get bookings, the sooner you'll build trust and improve your ranking in search results. To help you in this process, Channel PRO allows you to activate and manage specific promotions for Airbnb directly from the platform.
This not only saves you time but also gives you more control over your launch strategies.
Types of Available Promotions
Airbnb currently offers two types of promotions. Only one of them can be managed directly from Channel PRO.
1. New Listing Promotion
This promotion is designed to give an initial boost to new advertisements by applying a fixed 20% discount for the first three bookings.
Requirements to Activate This Promotion:
The advertisement must not have Smart Pricing activated on Airbnb.
It must have fewer than three bookings accumulated.
The promotion automatically deactivates upon reaching the third booking.
⚠ Pay Attention to the Details
This is a closed promotion: the discount and booking limit cannot be modified.
2. Custom Promotion
This type of promotion can only be configured directly from the Airbnb extranet.
It is not available through Channel PRO or the API, so you cannot create or edit it from our system.

How Does It Work?
If you have an active connection with Airbnb and have already created promotions on that platform, Channel PRO will automatically detect them and display them on your dashboard for management.
When creating a new advertisement from Channel PRO, you will see a message asking if you want to activate the 20% promotion.
If the advertisement meets the requirements, you can apply it directly at that moment to give it an extra boost from the start.If you wish, you can remove the promotion from the promotions section of Channel PRO.
