Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Amelia Island. Amelia Island has a spring peak led by the Concours d'Elegance in March, when car collectors and affluent visitors fill the island, and the Shrimp Festival in May. Summer is a beach season, and September is the heart of hurricane season. I price Concours week as the top event and build spring and summer around it.
For Amelia Island owners I build the year around Concours week, then plan spring weddings, summer beach weeks and hurricane season. I check the island and county rules, set the right minimums and decide whether the home suits families, couples or monthly winter guests.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Amelia Island.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Snowbirds and golfers from the Northeast look for monthly stays, so I offer 28-night rates and keep weekend floors steady for couples visiting Fernandina.
The Amelia Concours week is priced as a block opened a year ahead, with longer minimums and the highest rates of the year near the Ritz-Carlton and the south end.
Spring weddings, golf and the Shrimp Festival keep weekends full, so I hold rates firm and price the festival weekend in early May as an event.
Families arrive for beach weeks, so I use weekly or long-weekend stays and price oceanfront homes above homes a few blocks back.
Hurricane season peaks, so I lower floors, allow shorter stays and offer flexible cancellation, while keeping October weekends a little higher for weddings.
Thanksgiving and Christmas bring families, so I price those weeks as small peaks and keep other dates moderate for visitors to the Victorian district.
Price Concours d'Elegance week as the top band, opened a year ahead.
Add the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival as a May premium.
Use weekly or long-weekend summer stays.
Price homes by distance to the beach and Fernandina's historic district.
Offer flexible cancellation in September.

Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.

Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the listing explains distance to the beach access, Centre Street and the resorts, since families and couples choose by those three things.
Busiest in Amelia Island: March to May, spiking for the Concours d'Elegance in March and the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival in May, with a summer beach season alongside. June to August: Families arrive for beach weeks, so I use weekly or long-weekend stays and price oceanfront homes above homes a few blocks back. March: The Amelia Concours week is priced as a block opened a year ahead, with longer minimums and the highest rates of the year near the Ritz-Carlton and the south end. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
