As rental prices continue to rise, more and more apartment residents are tempted to enlist Airbnb to help cover the cost – with or without the landlord’s permission. Luckily, a growing number of landlords recognize that permitting short-term rentals could increase their profits and attract new residents to their buildings. That’s where Pillow Residential comes in. This new product offering allows building owners to offer the Airbnb option as an amenity for residents, and Pillow in turn gives landlords transparency regarding who’s in their buildings and a cut of the profits.Sean Conway, Co-Founder and CEO of Pillow, has a huge passion for travel. After the sale of his first startup venture, Notehall, Sean backpacked all over the world, staying in Airbnb properties. Sean finds that he is his best self when he travels, when he has the opportunity to interact with other cultures, and he wanted to make it easier for others to afford to travel and feel that same human connection.Sean launched Pillow in San Francisco in 2014 with the intention of taking the hassle out of hosting. The company has expanded to a dozen cities, providing short-term property management services and promoting the concept of global citizenry. Today Sean talks through the details of the new product, explaining why his team developed the amenity, how Pillow Residential benefits landlords and residents alike, and the demand he has seen for the product thus far. He also shares his point of view regarding the greatest challenges in the vacation rental space as well as his take on the future of the Airbnb ecosystem.Topics CoveredWhy Sean developed the new product, Pillow Residential•Rental prices higher than ever (35-45% of income in some locations)•Landlords willing to allow Airbnb, but calling for structure•Pillow Residential helps residents earn income while on vacation•Prevents violation of HOA, lease agreement•Allows landlord to feel comfortable•Works with city regulationsThe benefits of Pillow Residential for landlords•Amenity attracts residents•Provides insight, transparency re: who’s in building•Increases applicant pool, occupancy•Offers landlords cut of profitsHow Pillow Residential works•Opportunity assessment (gives landlord sense of what might earn)•One-hour onboarding session•Pillow creates landing page for residents•Pillow sends residents an email explaining new amenity•Residents sign in through landing page, property manager monitorsThe high demand for Pillow Residential•110 signups•60,000 unitsSean’s take on the greatest challenge the Airbnb ecosystem faces•Pillow has 200 SOPs•80% of situations fall into top 20% of SOPs•Create standardization AND keep personalizationSean’s conviction that the Airbnb ecosystem will continue to thrive•Airbnb changing way people live•Millennials embracing digital nomad lifestyle•Opportunities for wide range of players•Room to grow in industryThe tools Pillow uses to manage client listings•Zendesk customer service software•Previous partnership with Everbooked (metrics, pricing)•Built personalized internal tools for customersSean’s view of the Airbnb IPO•Won’t change the landscape of short-term rental industry•‘I’m fine either way’Sean’s prediction of what’s next in vacation rentals•Consolidation will continue•booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb will continue to thrive•Opportunities for niche markets (i.e.: Innclusive, Mrbnb)Connect with SeanPillowEmail info@pillow.comResources See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

HYH-35 “Is the Price Right?” Andrew Kitchell, Wheelhouse (Host2Host 2017 vendor series)

Download Episode! Prior to the Host2Host 2017 conference in Portland, Debi Hertert of HostingYourHome interviewed Andrew Kitchell of Wheelhouse.  Wheelhouse provides a pricing service for short-term rentals.  They analyze the pricing of the local home-sharing listings, local hotels, and current events.  Those three components affect pricing of accommodations, and Wheelhouse uses data scientists to make highly informed pricing decisions. The current product allows a high degree of personalization by the host, as Andrew discusses during the interview.  Debi is a user of Wheelhouse and is highly interested in how it works. Here are some points that came out in the interview.  Listen all the way through, for Andrew’s special offer! Andrew talks about how Wheelhouse started. His home was in the first 100 homes that listed on Airbnb.  He co- founded the company after one of the principals attended a Y Combinator Accelerator meeting and heard about “Airbed and breakfast”; and now they have grow to about 23 people. They analyze the home space, like Airbnb, Expedia, and Trip Advisor; the hotel space; and the event space. They then analyze your particular listing and how it has performed in the past compared with other nearby homes Allow customers to customize how they want to handle special situations, like orphan nights, weekends, etc – the newest platform allows personalization on the part of the host. Debi mentioned the emotionality of setting your pricing. You don’t want to give it away, but at the same time you don’t want to set it too high.  It sounds like Wheelhouse is giving the host a lot of control. Wheelhouse does recognize that setting prices can be emotional and in some ways it is better to remove some of that emotionality through using the software. But if you want to manage weekends, seasonality, etc., you can now do that.  Wheelhouse really recognizes that there are many nuances to setting prices that hosts want. Debi asked about her Gull House rental at Seal Rock, Oregon. It’s in the path of the eclipse, a once in a lifetime event.  Debi wants to be in the middle, not too low but not too high.  For now, she has just blocked it out.  The Wheelhouse pricing for that month shows the eclipse time as an elevated price, but whe wondered if that set the price for the whole month?  Andrew replied that the eclipse is sort of an “extreme” event; with cases like that, the impact should be limited to the days for that event. That’s the challenge for the pricing engine, and it should be appropriate.  But also, Wheelhouse allows the user to set specific rates for certain nights.  It recognizes that they are not perfect, and that the host might pick up on something that Wheelhouse software hasn’t found. Debi asked about special configurations, like max nightly price etc. She asked about Home Away and Trip Advisor and Airbnb; at this time, they show up as separate listings on the Wheelhouse dashboard. In the next few weeks, if you work with Guesty, or Booking Sync, you will be able to link to Wheelhouse. How does Wheelhouse differ from other dynamic pricing? Investment in pricing science:  they have four data scientists on the team, three are PhDs.  They feel like they will be able to do the best predictions.  Part two is the control they give the hosts, offering last minute discounts, seasonality and other customizations.  He has a lot of respect for other pricing companies, like Everbooked, but thinks they have produced a well-differentiated product. Debi asked about Airbnb’s smart pricing. Andrew said he isn’t sure of the long term role for Airbnb (or any other “marketplace” provider)  in producing best pricing.  He says they are a great team, have great scientists, but as they are the marketplace, they may not be the best in setting prices.  He thinks pricing can be done best by third parties. Debi asked about cost. Wheelhouse charges about 1 percent of “managed revenue”, and says that they return closer to high 20’s percentage; and that they have never lost a paying customer (!).  They also do not charge hosts for nights that the hosts end up setting their own rates. Debi asked then, how easy is it to cancel? She had an experience using a different company that entered prices into the calendar way into the future and had a hard time deleting it.  Andrew said that hosts have full control. Andrew discusses a special offer in which new users can get 10 free bookings!     Check out the following links: https://www.usewheelhouse.com/ https://www.usewheelhouse.com/ personalize https://blog.usewheelhouse.com/ https://www.usewheelhouse.com/demo
