Are your Airbnb prices hurting your bookings without you realising it?

In this episode of Vacation Rental Resolutions, Gerry MacPherson explains why guessing your vacation rental pricing creates stress, confusion, and hidden revenue loss for many hosts.

You’ll learn why constant price changes backfire, why empty nights are not always bad, and how one small shift can help you stop reacting emotionally to your calendar.

This episode is perfect for vacation rental owners, Airbnb hosts, and short-term rental operators who feel overwhelmed trying to “get pricing right.”

Expect practical hospitality advice, calm conversations, and real-world lessons you can apply immediately.

Gerry MacPherson knows hotel ownership is not always glamorous. Years ago, he helped operate a small hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he experienced first-hand the pressure, unpredictability, and daily chaos many hospitality properties still face today.

Since then, Gerry has spent decades working in hospitality and tourism, visiting properties across the world and learning what truly makes independent hospitality businesses succeed.

Today, through Vacation Rental Resolutions, he helps owners create calmer operations, stronger guest experiences, better bookings, and less stress through practical systems and honest hospitality conversations.
