Value Add or Discount...

...that is the hot topic amongst Revenue Managers today. Hmmm, but what does the traveler want? HA, great question and this is where we need to start.

According to a recent poll conducted by Travelhorizons, the number one traveler incentive is ...drum roll please... 50% off a published room rate! What!? Who wouldn't want this deal (unless the published room rate is $599 or higher) and the number two most influential was Complimentary Breakfast, yeah we knew that was coming.

For more on this list and ways to generate eye-catching, compelling offers contact us today...

Need HEADS IN BEDS...!?

...well have you been working those OTA's for everything their worth? What about your own booking engine, are you offering better rates then all other channels? In today's travel market RevPar is king (since ADR is fading compared to LY) so in order to optimize your bottom line your Revenue Manager should be on the phone (not e-mail) daily or at least 2 times a week talking to those Market Managers who can turn it on.

Do you know what rate strategies their practicing? How does your room rates compare? Wondering why you Pace is down year over year?

Consider this: 1% increase in RevPar can yield a 10% increase in profit.

Why Hotel Revenue Management? Like those fruits and vegetables at the grocery store, your hotel rooms are perishable items and without the right strategies in place and executed properly; these rooms will perish eventually affecting your bottom-line profit.
