Managing the opening of your calendar is crucial for ensuring a good booking experience for your clients. This article will guide you on how to manage your calendar, its utility, and important warnings to keep in mind.

The opening of your calendar determines the dates available for bookings. By properly managing this opening, you can:

Alignment with Pricing: The opening of your calendar should be done based on your pricing. For example, if you have set a price only for the upcoming 12th, the opening should be for 9 months, as a new date opens each day. This ensures that clients can book available dates and that your calendar remains synchronized with your pricing strategy.

Maximize Bookings: By making your calendar accessible during popular periods, you increase your chances of receiving bookings.

iCal System: If you are using a property management system (PMS) like Smoobu, having an opening set for 6, 19, or 12 months will trigger a cancellation notification every night around midnight when the system unlocks the new date. Remember that the opening varies each day.

In this case, it is possible to use the calendar opening function of the PMS instead. But WARNING, your pricing must be set according to the opening to avoid generating cancellations.
