Problem

We faced a fragmented view of Airbnb sales data that limited our ability to extract actionable insights. Without a cohesive narrative, stakeholders struggled to connect data patterns to strategic decisions, resulting in missed opportunities to optimize listings and pricing.

Our team identified a need to transform raw numbers into a compelling story that could drive buy-in from cross-functional leaders. We aimed to surface key drivers of sales performance and present practical recommendations in a clear, data-informed format. See case study how a structured narrative can change decision-making dynamics.

Solution

We analyzed Airbnb sales data in Tableau, focusing on seasonality, pricing, occupancy, and geographic trends to build a comprehensive story. We mapped out the journey from data to insights, prioritizing readability and impact to ensure that non-technical stakeholders could follow the narrative and acknowledge where optimization would yield tangible gains.

We prepared a detailed set of recommended actions based on the storytelling framework, including pricing experiments, listing optimization, and targeted marketing by region. By pairing visuals with concise recommendations, we translated complex analytics into practical steps that aligned with business priorities and measurable outcomes.
