What is Airbnb?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Airbnb was founded in 2008 as a platform enabling locals to list their homes for short term rental and travelers to have a lodging option alternative to hotels. Today, it is a 2.6 billion dollar travel empire (Business Insider 2018) and the largest provider of rooms available to travelers (Airbnb: 3M, three times as much as Mariott&#8217;s 1M) (Str 2019). Along with homes for rent, Airbnb.com allows its users to search through &#8220;Experiences&#8221;, which include pre-arranged multi destination trips, &#8220;Restaurants,&#8221; and recently even &#8220;Animals,&#8221; which stands for experiences where travelers can meet and interact with animals local to their travel destination (e.g., Zoo visit).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>II. Value &amp; Interesting elements of the company<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While 11 year after its founding, some might have trouble defining what Airbnb actually is, part of its success is defined in what it isn&#8217;t. Concretely, Airbnb is not a traditional real estate company. When retail estate players suffered the heights of pain brought about by 2007-2009 recession, Aibnb&#8217;s light asset base (they do not own the properties available through their site) and unique value proposition brought its tremendous success. Further its value proposition and initial success is directly associated with the timing of its founding.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Early Days Value for Consumers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9553\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown.jpeg 344w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown-300x128.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To be specific, in 2008 large portion of US population was suffering financial hardships associated with the economic downturn. Common reaction to one&#8217;s decrease in certainty regarding one&#8217;s family economic future is decrease in spending on luxury goods. One of them could be travel. When one&#8217;s job is on the line, idea of paying hundreds of dollar per night to stay in a hotel, no matter how luxurious it might be, seems like an unnecessary evil rather than a wonderful way to spend a holiday.<\/p>\n<p>First interesting element of Airbnb&#8217;s value providing strategy was tied specifically to addressing this customers&#8217; pain point. At its origin, Airbnb&#8217;s strategy of rolling out this completely new proposition of travel is done, where a traveler stays in a local&#8217;s homes as opposed to a hotel, was to position itself as a more affordable alternative to hotels. Their prices were significantly cheaper. This pricing strategy provided tremendous value to money-conscious recession-era travelers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Early Days Value for Providers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9554\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw-1024x640.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw-1024x640.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw-600x375.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/1PI-ae8utyzGBIMmYS-vTZw.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Airbnb also provided a strong value proposition for the home providers. For many Americans, economic struggles associated with the 2007-2009 recession period caused them to be enthusiastic about new potential sources of income. Suddenly, opening your home to a strangers while you are away stopped being perceives as a nightmare scenario and became a blessing of additional earnings. This re-framing of sentiment regarding sharing your personal space with strangers, was another interesting element of Airbnb&#8217;s strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Value for Consumers Today<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9556\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Unknown-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, today the economy has mostly recovered, so one could ask what value does Airbnb provides its users today that allows it to generate few billion dollars of revenue per year (Business Insider 2018). The question can be answered in two ways. An interesting strategy on Airbnb&#8217;s part is highlighting the different travel experience that staying in a local&#8217;s home versus a hotel provides. The company has done a great job framing its value proposition as the idea that travel by Airbnb-ing provides one with the authentic &#8220;local&#8221; experience, as if allowing travelers to experience what living in this destination would be actually like, as opposed to being a traditional, cookie-cutter hotel staying tourist. Secondly, network effect of many destinations in various places around the world is an attractive proposition. For example traveling with Airbnb today, allows one to choose both from a local&#8217;s home but also a luxurious cottage in the middle of northeastern woods, which would never be listed on a traditional hotel selection site like Expedia.com. As such Airbnb provides a traveler a whole different portfolio of lodging options. Moreover, by expending its portfolio to Restaurants and &#8220;Experiences&#8221; allows its customers to have easy access to many potential activities when they travel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Value of Provid<\/strong><strong>er<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong><strong> Today<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9557 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/531739974-600x397.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even though Airbnb is not able to secure exclusivity for its providers, travelers are freely able to multi-home, (as well as its customers as providers can also multi home), the biggest value that Airbnb is able to give to the local providers is the access to 150 M users (MuchNeeded 2019). Moreover, Airbnb has expended its services to restaurants and experiences, it allows for further solidification of network effects: the more options users have from Airbnb the less likely are they to switch. The more options the more value for customers and the stronger the network effect that keeps customers engaged and thus more engaged customers provide better audience for providers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>III.
