Is it worthwhile to list on multiple platforms

[Alex Keim]

I have a single STR (4 bed ocean view home) located in a small coastal town on the west coast. It went live just a few months ago at the beginning of summer. Currently it is listed only on AirBNB. The summer occupancy was very high but now that we are hitting the offseason I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to also list on VRBO. While the cost of doing so is not high it's also not zero in time nor money. Ideally I'd be able to run my own A/B experiments but I imagine there are tons of PM's in here that already have all the data. So, the question is, is it worth the extra cost (time and money) to add my listing to VRBO?

Costs I'm assuming:

1) Hostaway subscription and dynamic pricing subscription

2) Perceived older guests. "Can you send someone out to show us how to work the tv remote?"

Thank you
