📌 This article answers the following questions:
- How do I change my prices directly from the elloha calendar?
- How do I apply a new rate to a specific period, season or custom dates?
- How do I adjust my prices on a day-by-day basis from the Details view?
- How do I use Yield Management to optimise my occupancy rate?
Why is this important?
Whilst elloha allows you to automate your rates using the seasonal calendar, responsiveness remains your greatest asset when it comes to ‘Yield Management’ (revenue management). Changing a price directly from your calendar allows you to:
Seize opportunities: increase your rates during an unexpected peak in demand.
Avoid quiet periods: offer a more attractive price to fill your remaining availability.
Tailor your offering: adapt to the specific circumstances of each day without having to reconfigure your settings, and always offer the right price
Follow the step-by-step guide
Check out the interactive tutorial below to see how to change your prices directly from the calendar. Then follow the detailed, illustrated instructions to master each step.
Step 1: Access the Calendar
In the menu on the left-hand side of your screen, click on ‘Calendar’, then on ‘Availability & Prices’.
This takes you to your calendar, which brings together all your information: availability, rates, sales channels and pricing plans.
It is from this interface that you manage your day-to-day operations and adjust your prices according to the time of year and demand.
Step 2: Open the editing options
In the top right-hand corner of the calendar, click on ‘Actions’, then select ‘Prices’.
A panel will open on the right-hand side of your screen. This allows you to quickly edit your rates without having to edit each date on the calendar individually.
Step 3: Select the offer, the pricing plan and set the price
In the right-hand side panel, enter the following information:
Select your accommodation or service.
Choose the pricing plan you wish to edit.
Enter the new price per night in the corresponding field.
Step 4: Choose the period to edit
Select the period to which you wish to apply your new price:
Today or Tomorrow for an immediate update
This week or This month to adjust a short period
The next 3 months to plan ahead
A season to apply your rates over a full period
Custom dates to target specific days
💡 Tip: The “Custom dates” option is ideal for adjusting your prices during a local event or a specific weekend.
Step 5: Apply your changes
To finalise your rate updates:
Click Apply to save your changes.
The new rates are immediately reflected in your calendar.
💡 Tip: Slightly increase your prices during periods of high demand (weekends, holidays, local events) to maximise your revenue without affecting your booking rate.
Conversely, lower your prices during quiet periods to encourage bookings and avoid empty dates.
Step 6: Edit your rates from the calendar
From the Details view, you can adjust your prices manually on a day-by-day basis:
Access your management tool: Click on ‘Calendar’ in the Main Menu of your elloha account. This is your central dashboard for viewing your activity.
Identify the service and date: Locate the row for the offer you wish to adjust and the cell corresponding to the desired day.
Change the price instantly: Click directly into the cell for the relevant day. Enter your new price and you’re all set!
💡 Tip: Remember to check your prices a few days before a date that’s still available: a last-minute adjustment can make all the difference.
You can now adjust your prices quickly, either by period or on a day-by-day basis.
You can now easily adjust your prices to suit your needs and the periods of your business.
Whether you’re responding to demand or optimising certain dates, the calendar lets you stay in control of your pricing in just a few clicks.
