In Progress

LESSON 5 — MONTH 3 (DAYS 61–90)

This is your improvement phase — small but impactful moves.

This is the first time you consider raising rates

Typical changes:

  • $5–$10 increase
  • Premium weekends adjust upward
  • Seasonal increases for next year
  • Cabin pricing alignment
  • Cleaning fees updated
  • Extra person / extra vehicle policies

Do NOT jump too high too fast — guests rebel.

Start cosmetic improvements

  • Paint
  • Landscaping
  • Lighting
  • Signage
  • Picnic tables
  • Trails
  • Camp store organization

Small upgrades = big guest satisfaction.

Launch a simple marketing push

  • Update photos
  • Update website text
  • Improve your reservation system
  • Push online booking
  • Update Google profile

Create your 12-month improvement plan

This should include:

  • Infrastructure upgrades
  • Rate strategy
  • Cabin additions
  • Glamping projects
  • Road repair timeline
  • Septic/well maintenance plan
  • Expansion feasibility timeline
  • Staffing goals
  • Revenue targets
