How to: Set Up Automated Early Bird Pricing

Do you offer early bird pricing? This trick allows you to automatically apply a discount when your Traveler registers before the deadline.

There are three ways with YouLi to manage Early Bird Pricing, depending on how you want it to appear.

  1. Negative Add-on with a due date 
    1. This is the most obvious option as it allows the TRAVELER to select the discount only before the due date
    2. See below for details
  2. Coupon with an expiry date
    1. Requires your TRAVELER to know the coupon code
    2. Learn more about coupons
  3. Set your package to the Early Bird Pricing for launch, include in the description that it will go up by a certain date. Then after that date, change the package price and choose to "Personalize" the price of all the people who booked in early to the lower rate. 
    1. This one is the most subtle to the TRAVELER - and allows you to increase/decrease the price at different times to maximize profit - it can be done many times.

3. Give your item a name

This is a highlight - travelers will see it on their trip page and their invoice, so make sure you give it a creative name that you are okay with them seeing.

6. Click on RESPONSE DUE DATE (INCLUSIVE)

Set the response date to be the final day you will offer the discount. If you set the date to December 1st, then Travelers will be able to get the discount on the first but not on the second.
